I have not tried this yet, but it certainly seems like an easy way to take advantage of the free accounts you might already have. I’m thinking that this app into Mail.app with Spam filtering could be a nice thing. I might even consider using my hotmail account if I was successful in [...]

This morning I received my second email promoting the latest offer from Handspring: A FREE DVD Player with purchase with purchase of a Treo.

This seems like it actually might work. The picture looks interesting, a bit less from the future this time and seemingly practical.

SPOT is yet another way Microsoft wants to force its way into our digital lives. While the idea sounds interesting, it is hardly new. Jini from Sun anyone? Not that it’s in anything, but that’s another story.

I am currently trying to move my previous blog to this new home. The trick is getting everything out of Radio and into Moveable Type. The main problem is that Moveable Type does not import XML…
