More time with Windows Mobile 6 and Blackjack

Now that I have had the evening to play around with Windows Mobile 6 on my Samsung Blackjack I have a few impressions. First off the "My Location" feature now works with google maps, it took awhile the first time but it started working and has been working all evening. Second I am really excited about it now works with handsfree link in my RDX, I missed this feature as I had it with my razr in my TSX. Lastly the ability to search the company directory under contacts is kind of cool. I will not get a ton of use out of this as we are a small company, but in a large company I can see how this would be very useful. I have not tried them out yet but you do get the mobile office apps as well. All in all it is a pretty good free update.

Windows Mobile 6

About 7 months after the promised release by numerous at&t sales associates the Blackjack finally got Windows mobile 6. I upgraded my phone last night but really have not played with it much. You can get the download here.

After Effects 8.0.2

Adobe released an update for After Effects (8.0.2 Win/Mac) as well as Indesign (5.0.2 Win/Mac) Now After Effects enjoys P2 support just like Premiere.

Google Trends

I remember playing around with google trends awhile back. Penny sent me an email this evening trying to figure out what keywords would be better for a site she was working on, and I remembered about google trends. Basically the way it works is you separate the keywords you want to trend using commas. Google returns the trends (search volume) for those keywords and gives you a nice little graph.

A couple I was playing around with

boy, girl

cat, dog

big, little

I know these are irrelevant just some interesting information.

Snow!

Something in the air

Well the rumor sites had it right. Apple today released the MacBook Air. In true apple fashion it has to be "The world's something" it is "The World's Thinnest Notebook" Check out the specs. It is not cheap at $1800 but it is cool. Apple also reduced the price of Apple TV and demo new iPhone software among other things.

you cannot make this up

Steven sent this to me last night. I am from Louisiana not far from Houma.

Presidential Mnemonic

My mom for some reason decided to clean out her junk drawer today. She found this Mnemonic to remember all the presidents. It is from her high school days so the last presidents are not included. It needs a new sentence for Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, 1st George Bush, Bill Clinton, and 2nd George Bush. Any ideas add a comment.

Washington and Jefferson made many a joke. Van Buren has told Polk that fine people break laws. Johnson got his gain and called himself clever. McKinley rode the white horse. Coolidge helped Roosevelt to enjoy knitting jerseys neatly forever.
