Mediafly Mobile

On an iPod or iPhone (in my case it's my Blackberry Curve), it made sense for me to carry my latest podcast download to listen during commute.  Ever since I bought my iPad, I have yet to load a single podcast episode into it.  I don't see any sense for me to listen podcasts on a bigger device like the iPad.  Music maybe, but not a podcast.

While browsing around the App Store, I stumbled into an app/service called Mediafly.  It streams and manage web media subscription across multiple platforms.  Think of it as the Netflix for podcasts.  Want to change the list of your subscription?  You only need to manage one location and it will sync to multiple web active devices.  The iPad app itself allows you to view live streaming content like TWiT Live.

Google: Beyond Search

The web is Google's main business.  The more people use the web, the more money will find its way to Google's pocket.  That's why Google is everywhere.  Google gives away lots of free stuff just to make it easier for you to use it -- Google Web Apps, Android, Chrome, etc.  What will they do next to keep you inside their ecosystem?


Honeycomb and Everything After
Android 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb) marks the beginning of Google's  reign.  It's not all about Android tablets, even if we're deeply lusting over the Motorola Xoom.  Let's face it, the hiring of Matias Duarte (former Palm webOS designer) was no coincidence -- it was destiny.  The Android that we currently know will be getting a more sensible interface and it's how future Android based devices (smart phones and appliances) are going to look.  This is how important the changes in the Android interface is going to be (and a good move for Google by hiring the guy who designed one of industry's better mobile interface).

Changes (and more to come)

After coming back from blogging hiatus, I thought I've already settled in for "Point + Tap".  Apparently, The Inorganic Widget is more appropriate for the blog moving forward (think the good ol' days of Zen Garden).  Not to mention that it sounds better.

Organizing the E-mail Clutter

Starting a new life?  You've probably been procrastinating all your life.  If you decided to get into the program, read up.  The thing I hate to see the most is a cluttered desk.  Call me OC (if you will), but everything works smoothly when things are organized.  From folders to iTunes library, I have everything arranged for finding stuff easily to maintain a neat and livable desktop.  You may argue about the availability of universal search tools (like Spotlight for the Mac), but nothing beats a clean and tidy workspace.
