| robpegoraro MobileMe has given this iPhone a full calendar--and an empty contacts list. This may be the flakiest sync sw I've seen since the Newton. |
|
| robpegoraro Experimenting with MobileMe syncing between two Macs, an iPhone and one--soon to be two--Windows PCs. This could end badly. |

| robpegoraro spent way too much time writing up an overly long blog post. When it comes to summer Fridays, I seem to be Doing It Wrong. |
|
| robpegoraro Amtrak.com now wants me to log in via e-mail address (which can change) instead of username (which does not.) Seems like a dumb UI move. |
|
| robpegoraro An influx of PR types has me at 200 followers. Woot! (Note: If I type "flack" instead of "PR professional," it's only b/c of space limits :) |
|
| robpegoraro What @craigstoltz said--Twin Tech was a great event. And a pleasant 15-minute walk from my office! They should have one every week. |

| robpegoraro Ask me about the iPhone 3G (or any other tech topics you've got on your mind): http://tinyurl.com/6jpz2c |
|
| robpegoraro Shockingly enough, I'm reviewing the iPhone 3G--I think it's good, but not good enough to retire a first-gen iPhone: http://bit.ly/qVBnj |

| robpegoraro Song lyric just heard on Pandora: "The computer's on the fritz/I got a million hits" Story of my life... at least the first part is |
|
| robpegoraro Some of today's spalm features subject headers written like dull news or PR headlines. Are boring people a new key junk-mail demographic? |
|
| robpegoraro What's the point of the "list view" option in Windows file dialogs and desktop windows? The horizontal scrolling it requires is Very Bad. |
|
| robpegoraro Speaking of companies that ought to beg forgiveness, our editing software has just locked me out of my column. [pounds head on desk] |
