My 2nd favorite Gmail tip

04.23.2008

I guess I will remind you what my favorite Gmail tip is before I get into the second one: Gmail is an email management system. I wrote about this before, but it bears repeating for those who have multiple email accounts and are in desperate need of organization or simplification.

PC Remote Control

04.16.2008

The StreamZap PC remote control: I picked the StreamZap PC Remote because the reviews on Amazon were good and honestly I couldn’t find many other options. I have been using the remote for a couple of weeks now – so, I think I am now qualified to give it a review.
