I spent a few hours getting to know Wordpress better and why it wasn’t sending out emails to let me know when people reply. It is obviously very important that Bryan and I know immediately when we comment on each other’s blogs. I won’t pretend that my blog is anything other than a venue for my egotistical projections of myself and that I need constant reminders of my value to Bryan via messages to my iPhone.

It seems to me that the opponents of this plan are stuck with their party’s generally held ideals that they will be made to pay for the failure of others, when they must realize that they as well will go down with the sinking ship unless we act together very soon.

More sections of the desktop have informative right-clickable menus and are more directly customizable than before.
I won’t say yet than I’m a fanboy, but it really does feel solid and looks pretty attractive. (giving Aqua a run) It’s obvious that they took some interface concepts from Apple while giving users more options to customize.
Google released a free (and much needed) service to allow iPhone users to sync Google contacts and calendar through MS Exchange protocols. http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html It works great except that the iPhone only allows one Exchange account at a time, so those that have already set up an account can’t use ActiveSync. The only workaround I’ve found is to connect to their previous Exchange account using IMAP if their admin will turn on IMAP access.
Thank you, Google. That was not evil.
Apple. please let us connect to more than one Exchange server. Anyone who would also like this ability, please let Apple know here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
