Well almost three months in, I thought I'd update my iPhone love!
I just used the conference call feature for the first time. I was delighted with how easy it was. The only thing that occasionally annoys me is that I can't message a photo. I also admit the last software update, did improve my call drop rate. Still I have nothing to compare the 3G performance to, since I wasn't an Iphone 1.o user, so I love the performance of it. It works better than my Sprint ever did.

Well folks, I finally bought an iPhone. I'm loving it. I started my second semester of grad school this week and about half way through, realized I could really use some digital assistance.

I think it's well worth the $99 price, to be able to sync the tiny details of my life.

So far my favorite apps from the apps store are: WhitePages, Enigmo, Checklist and UrbanSpoon. There are so many more I hope to try though. Feel free to post your favorites in the comments. I'd love to hear what apps everyone likes. READ MORE »

She sent me home with her husband’s old tape deck and the tape. So began an interesting project. READ MORE »

Here's why I love my Mac. I printed address labels for my Christmas card list and even though I didn't quite remember how to do it, it only took a few minutes.
I once tried to help a friend do her cards from her Outlook address book and there's this whole merging and sorting and whatever you have to do in Office. It still took a few tries and a lot longer than a few minutes.
