SF this week; Merced this weekend
Quick reminder: I’m speaking at Core 77’s Design 2.0 event here in San Francisco tomorrow (today I’m enjoying the fine weather and the free WiFi in Union Square). I’m also planning on holding an informal reader meetup in my hometown of Merced, CA this Saturday. Still on the hunt for a suitable location, so if…

My prayers are answered
I’d pretty much given up any hope of seeing a solution for this, at least anytime soon, but CompanionLink just rolled out a new app that’ll lets you sync any Palm, BlackBerry, or Windows Mobile 5.0 handheld with Google Calendar (it’s two-way sync, too, none of that one-way crap!). I’ve been testing it with my…

Not fun
I’ll tell ya, having my Media Center crash while I’m recording/watching the season finale of Lost is definitely not fun..

Alone in a little room with a camera staring at me
I did my first television interview via satellite today. Translation: If you’ve ever wanted to see me fumble my way through an interview about Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD you should watch Attack of the Show this evening. I’m kicking myself for not complaining about all the echo in the audio.

Me at Columbia
Jill snapped this pic of me chatting it up with Sree at the Columbia School of Journalism last night. That’s actually my resume up on screen behind us, a lot of people there wanted to understand why I’d ditched a career in journalism for the life of a blogger. UPDATE: I stupidly deleted their comment…

Live and in person
I’m still not quite used to blogging about myself rather than gadgets, but I’ve got a couple of speaking gigs coming up where you can see me talk about gadgets (or about blogging about gadgets) in person: 5/10 – Columbia School of Journalism – Sree Sreenivasan invited to speak at a workshop about blogging. (Sorry…

Palm sync for Google Calendar?
Google Calendar is ruling my world at the moment, but what I’m really looking for is a way to sync it with my Treo 650. Any solutions out there? There has to be someone taking advantage of that open API, right?

Monitor mania
Man, do I have a problem: just like Jason, I can’t seem to ever have enough screen real estate. I thought I’d be satisfied with a pair of 20-inch widescreeen LCDs (which I have connected to a desktop), but I finally gave into my desires and picked up a second video card so I could…

On Sirius Radio this week
Almost forgot to mention this: it ain’t Howard Stern, but I’ll be a guest on Josh Dorfman’s Sirius satellite radio show, The Lazy Environmentalist, this week, talking about (you guessed it) technology and the environment. The other guest is Laura Moorhead, who was my editor when I used to write for Wired mag. The first…

Jury duty!
I have a solid excuse for being offline for the past few days: I’m serving as the third alternate juror on a criminal trial this week. I actually don’t mind so much — the courthouse is a pleasant twenty minute walk from my apartment, and I’m still finding enough time to get most of my…
