Last week I picked up a new toy: The Canon D30 digital camera. I am having a lot of fun taking pictures. This camera is just awesome in what it can do and the quality of images is unreal. If you’re serious about taking pictures and have the means then this is the camera that I recommend.

The Motorola v60c is a magical and amazing blend of cutting edge technology, high style and tremendous vision. The phone is much smaller than my Motorola Timeport 8767 — it looks and feels about half the size — and it has better earpiece volume and a stronger vibrating alert as well. I find it funny that one sort of alert is labeled as “Ring and Vibrate” when it really works the other way around: The phone first vibrates and then rings.
I have been actively practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga six days a week (excluding Saturdays and the Moon Days) since October, 2000. I have waited at least six months to write this review in order to speak from a more dedicated point-of-view. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga takes years to begin to learn and, while I realize I am still a babe in the limbs of Ashtanga, I do have some thoughts and insights that may help you decide if Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the right method for training your mind, body and spirit.
Forget about “where do you want to go today?” Most of us have to work for a living. The more meaningful question for me is “where am I supposed to be today… right now?!” We’ve come a long way from carrying crumbled notes in our pockets. I used to be wonderful at taking notes that I either couldn’t read or couldn’t remember what they were related to. Palm Pilots and other PDAs have helped solve the nuisance of lost notes, but even the Palm (it’s always in my pocket) isn’t a truly industrial strength organizer… it’s the best when you’re on the go, but I still haven’t seen anyone in their office with a Palm keyboard (don’t laugh, you can get one) typing correspondence or printing activity calendars.
I found the need for a contact manager long before the first Palm Pilot. Ten years ago, there wasn’t much in the way of choice. When in doubt, chose the market leader, right. Right? So my first experience in trying to tame chaos was with the now forgotten Polaris Pack Rat 3.0. What an eye-opener… this early windows program could do almost anything (or so it seemed at the time). It was configurable in a number of unique ways to allow you to associate lots of different things with contacts and to change the screen display any way you felt like it. Its only problem… it crashed a lot and you lost data when it crashed; not very acceptable over time. Finally the company was victim of the “tar baby upgrade” syndrome-the one that wouldn’t work right no matter what-and they went out of business around 1992.

Detective is the latest can’t-put-it-down novel by master novelist, Arthur Hailey. Known for his extensive and thorough research prior to writing a book is what gives his novels authenticity and credibility. In this book about homicide investigations, Mr. Hailey takes the reader into the mind of a leading character and his personal life, into a prison and an execution, and into the investigation of a series of murders. I purchased Detective solely because of my familiarity with this legendary author of fiction and not because my favorite reading material is detective stories. I didn’t waste a second buying his latest book.
I wasn’t disappointed!

On the spin today is a review of the zaggy new HP660LX — the Bigger & Brighter Bro to the HP620LX. If I sound wacky and loose, it’s all because of the 660LX, baby! I’m in heaven, and when you’ve been taken to the moon in the palm of your hand, there’s no other way to frame the trip than remaining “out there” in the realm of HP divinity. Kick with me and know the 660LX in detail…

I have in my hand a Cassiopeia Windows CE computer. I had this in my hand when I ordered the 3Com PalmPilot Professional. Why would I buy a Pilot when I already own a Windows CE box? Because the Pilot tries to be what it is, and in my opinion, the Windows CE machines try to be more than they are.
On Tuesday, March 24, there was a big party in Manhattan to kick off the rollout of the latest innovation from 3COM’s Palm Pilot division and Reuters America, a division of the world’s largest news and financial data distribution company. The new product is the REUTERS MARKETCLIP, an exciting extension of the functionality of the Palm Pilot.
With this add-on device, your Palm Pilot (whatever the model) will gain some tremendous communication competence… wireless real time financial information in your pocket!!!

Discussions of contact managers and PIMs often take on the characteristics of a religious debate… fierce positions, often adversarial, seldom resolved. This article will avoid that fevered controversy by limiting the scope of discussion to practical tips for users of Act for Windows and any version of the Palm Pilot (personal, pro or III).
Since early last year, Symantec has provided a free utility for synching Act for Windows with the Palm Pilot. You can download this patch free from the Symantec Web site (under products select ACT and select free downloads). The file is about 6 Mb, so pick a time when you can handle a file that large.
