Thursday was the first day in a week that I had a reliable internet connection, other than with my Nokia N95-3 on AT&T’s HSDPA network. If you think I’m kidding, check my Jaiku feed. I’m clearly not. I left my apartment on Friday morning for a weekend trip to Houston/Galveston, and came home to a [...]

I started this Mobile Music theme a while back, and admittedly, never really finished it. So here it is. As you know, your S60 device can be a killer music playback device. However, the hard part is still getting music ON your device. As far as I can tell, there’s only 2 viable options: iTunes [...]

I know I just posted the rant, but I have 2 updates on this. As you recall, I’m having issues uploading directly from my Nokia N95 to blip.tv, my online video site of choice. I chose Blip.tv because I like the quality output I get better than YouTube. Plus I’ve just never been a YouTube [...]

Last Saturday we looked at simply using Windows Explorer to organize and put music on your S60 device. This week is a bit more organized, moving on to Winamp. Winamp has been around for a long, long time, and was the 2nd mp3 playing application I used on the PC. I started with Musicmatch, and [...]

One of the most fun parts of maintaining this blog is my Driving With The Guru series. Who cares that no one really watches them, they’re fun to do, and hopefully in the future will include interviews and product demos.
However, there is a HUGE problem – I have to send the file to my [...]

Part of the original PC-Free experiment was an acknowledgment that I would be using my PC as a media repository. There’s just no way that either my N73 or my N800 could hold all my media, including pictures, music, and videos. So I had to use something on my PC to organize my music. There’s [...]

Mobile Calendaring? Yep. If you’re like me, and have family events that you don’t know about till two days before, a girlfriend who plans things for you, and a busy work schedule, having a calendar on your device is required, as is being able to manipulate that calendar, as surely things change. It never fails [...]

I’m incredibly addicted to RSS. I add feeds on a whim, and periodically weed through my list, removing feeds that haven’t updated in the last 2 months.
Some quick stats from Google Reader: Currently sitting at 94 feeds. 4,149 items in the last 30 days, which is roughly 140 per day. I do most of [...]

The first thing that I’m testing as PC-Free is email. I have 2 email accounts that I check regularly. Both are on Gmail; one is personal and the other is blog related. I used to check them separately, but it got to be a huge pain to sign in and out of Google all the [...]

Well here it is, Day 2, and I’m already changing things up a bit. That’s what’s fun, though. Things are always changing. I realized, after some thought, conversation, and experience, that the "PC-Free for 30 Days" project is neither Realistic nor Relevant for anyone. I realized this mainly after I read Ken Camp’s post today [...]
