Leopard Woes? Not for me
A quick search for OS X Leopard Problems will leave one feeling as though Leopard is filled with holes and bugs. While there is much that is shiny and new in Leopard, My findings after a month of use do not indicate any of these issues. In fact, I have only three complaints, and they are minor UI issues.
I am certainly happy that my experience has not gone the way of this man’s: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2223921,00.asp

Missing Sync
I don’t really like to advertise products in this space… but I have got to say that Mark/Space’s Missing Sync for Blackberry is frickn’ fantastic!!
I have had a Blackberry for several years now and PocketMac has always been just a bit flakey. It often required babysitting to get it to work. Sometimes I could connect my Blackberry and it would never see it. It was annoying. It got even more annoying after PocketMac stopped supporting it when RIM decided to give it away for free to all Blackberry customers. RIM took on the support role… by e-mail only it seems… They don’t tell you that… but when you call they give you and e-mail address to write to if you are a mac user.
Anyway… Enough of that rant. The Missing Sync is fantastic. It just works… that is all there is to say about it. It is exactly what I have needed to make my Mac and Blackberry live in harmony.
I love it…
More on OLPC
I am very excited about the One Laptop Per Child project. To that end, I have been doing some web searching and found the following sites… each with some information on the topic.

OLPC
Well… I did it… I just purchased 2 laptops from the OLPC Give One Get One Program. At some point (soon I hope) an XO laptop is going to arrive at my door and I will get to check it out and see just what the little puppy can do. At the same time, some child in Afghanistan, Rwanda, Hati or Cambodia will get a laptop and begin their life with technology as a learning tool.
This excites me… This excites me a lot.
