i’m apparently leaving town for 10 days. i don’t feel prepared at all for the next week and a half - or the consequences of it…
preparing (mentally and logistically) for a long trip to Colorado and New York. Very excited.

GPS And Google Maps On My Blackberry →
So I was quite fortunate this week. After managing to break my last Blackberry Curve after about 6 months of (heavy) use, I got a warranty replacement - and was quite surprised to find it to be GPS-enabled. So somehow I got a little upgrade to the 8310 version (CNET review) for my trouble, and should thank AT&T just this once for that. I never quite understood how cool having GPS on your phone...
Stepped all over a ton of notes in a feature solo - the first song the band leader wrote. I don’t think I’m coming back.

still no phone. it’s amazing how crippled i feel when i lose one piece of technology

“It’s sadly clear that our current leaders have little understanding of technology and why it’s important to our economy and culture. That has to change.”
just noticing some great new updates to Tumblr. makes me realized how many sites are having great releases. one-month post-xmas dev cycle?
@mitchellwfox thanks, but i could have in theory have picked up a handset from an AT&T store in SJ or Wlanut Creek if there was time to…
my phone is broke. AT&T takes 3 days to get me a refurbished replacement. frustration building…
WatchI’ve been a Lindsay Campbell fan for a while, and I’m sad that she left Wallstrip. I hope she continues the good work with Moblogic and doesn’t follow the poor fate of Amanda Congdon.
tahoe today was awesome, continuing a phenomenal year of skiing so far…

Fun With Chumby →
For Christmas I was very fortunate to receive a Chumby as a gift (my dad’s pretty hip). Not too many people have heard of the things, and many of my officemates were confused (perhaps a little disturbed) when I brought it in to the office and placed it on my desk. The Basics Chumby describes their device as a “personal Internet player.” It essentially plays a host of widgets,...

@jacksonfox I need to learn the gimp. it’s got to make my life much easier than using paint all the time.

Something Cool From Facebook →
I’ve complained a bit about Facebook’s targeted ads, and how if you say you’re a single male interested in women you get spammed with “Meet Girls” ads that are very annoying. So to balance that criticism, I wanted to share something I discovered this morning and thought was really cool. If you type a link into a private message, Facebook will automatically go fetch...
@ellainemariano you are totally stalking my Netflix queue! i just added the full season of dexter. btw when is our next lost marathon?
Getting rid of targeted ads in Facebook
Maybe this is worth a longer post somewhere, but I recently got so sick of some of the Facebook ads I was getting that I changed my profile. I had myself listed as “Single” and “Interested in Women.” All of a sudden, over the past few weeks, I was flooded with annoying “Meet Girls Now” advertisements. And while I don’t usually mind pictures of...
Apple makes me angry (sorry @thomashan). But $20 to upgrade my touch is ridiculous.
@thomashan for a sec i thought my twitter had reset by a few days. sorry man, i feel your pain. we’ll get a bounceback though i’m sure!
i brought a french press into work. great idea, if I may say so myself.
getting fitted for a tux, just in the nick of time

WatchColbert on the recession, interviewing Allan Sloan (editor of Fortune magazine)
checking out pownce while hoping for a market bounce? lame, sorry…
i’m pretty scared about what’s going to happen tomorrow. i’m kind of wishing i hadn’t been so aggressive in funding my retirement accounts.
watching King Aurthur, rented from iTunes. cool, not the highest quality video though
i like how the 3 day weekend works. day 1: catch up on movies/tv. day 2: errands/cleaning. day 3: catch up on the Internet. plus friends!
Lijit Personal Search →
I’ve got a couple cool widgets on this page and at my Tumblr at tonyleachsf.com. I like the ShareThis, which lets people send links to friends via email & to various social media sites very easily. Recently I added Lijit search (inspired partly by Chris Anderson), just to see what it’s all about. It’s the pink bar on the right. From the user perspective, Lijit seems to be...
