John McCain, Twitter Addict

Posted on by

Remember the John McCain who supposedly didn’t read e-mail or use a computer? Well, suddenly he is Twittering away on his BlackBerry from the Senate floor. Yes, THAT John McCain. The one that then-candidate Obama and the media chided for being “out of touch” with technology. It was always an unfair accusation, given how much of the presidency revolves around decision-making and issues as opposed to what model of BlackBerry one uses.

McCain’s tweets are rather intersting. Sometimes it is about what news show he will appear on. Today it was, “steve nash hurt? amare too! what now for the suns!”

Be a Task Master with Google's Tasks iPhone Web App

Posted on by

Not that Google needs any more publicity, but their newest web app is amazing. I have been looking  for the right to-do list for my iPhone to reduce the number of tasks I either forget or ignore. I have tried reQall and others, finding flaws and some usability issues with all of them. But enter Google’s new iPhone web app –  Tasks. It syncs flawlessly with the tasks add-on in Gmail, which means adding or deleting a task in the browser is reflected on the iPhone. Add the home button and it is easy to add, delete, and edit tasks. All without paying for or downloading another app.

Given the amount of tasks President Obama is trying to take on, it would be a great addition for his BlackBerry, Sectera Edge, or whatever mystery device he is actually carrying.
