I may finally get a few more converts
I have been using Mind Jet Mind Manager since version 4 and am a very big fan. I use it almost anytime I need to ‘compose’ something, whether it be a new program plan, a brochure or a presentation. I have used it a few times as an ongoing program dashboard, but mostly I use…

UGS on Channel 9
I guess it must be video day today. We shot this with the Channel 9 guys back in May, but they just got it posted a few weeks ago. From the comment thread it looks like it is a bit controversial (for being ‘too commercial’). I am admittedly biased, but I think that the Charles…

Updated my T-mobile MDA to 2.26 "clean" ROM
So my T-Mobile MDA thinks it’s a T-mobile MDA again. It had thought it was a Imate KJAM for the past few months. I missed this when it first happened, but was looking around for something else when I stumbled acorss an updated ROM from T-mobile. I installed and ran with that for a few…
