So I had a friend coming over to visit yesterday, and I had sent my address to her over email. Fortunately, I decided to go one step further and look up the driving directions for her using Google maps as well. Well, to my dismay, the directions given would have directed her down a one-way … Read More

I finally got around to adding the Hackoff.com link to my site. I was reminded by Fred Wilson’s post which for some reason showed up on my Bloglines list today. I agree that Word of Blog is a very cool service, but I’m not sure if it can take that much credit for the attention … Read More

This would’ve been unthinkable a couple of years ago, but Palm, in its ever-changing strategy, has tied up with RIM. I don’t know who this helps more.
