Mindjet MindManager Pro 6
There's really not a whole lot I don't do these days without MindManager Pro...I've recently realized, it is the launching pad for my productivity, and by far the best tool to organize my thoughts.
The odd thing is, underneath, it it's model is just an outline, but the UI and presentation is so much more than that. Its documents are called "MindMaps" and honestly, the documents do end up being a pretty good representation of what is in my mind.
I'm not a linear thinker at all; I bounce all over the place. I can barely finish one sentence without starting a new one. Yet this tool lets you jump all over the place and end up with a document for the rest of the world to read.
If that sounds like you - MindManager is highly recommended. And, yes, there's a Mac version too!
I wish there were a S60 version...

Nokia firmware updates!
Will wonders never cease. You can now get firmware updates for your Nokia without finding a "Nokia service center" (which btw, don't exist in the US that I know of).
long time in coming. hmm, no E61, yet.

FeedFlare in Japanese
we released FeedFlare for our FeedBurner.jp some time ago, but it's cool to see it in the wild. the first one is "add to Hatena" (a Japanese version of delicious) and I guess you can figure out what the other two are.

Casino Royale
awesome, the official Casino Royale blog (powered by FeedBurner).
one of these days, when we get a projector in the office we are going to watch all the Bond movies back to back. one of my prize possessions is a bootleg bond DVD collection i got off Ebay from Hong Kong, way before they were really available in the states.
i love bond films because they are all so remarkably bad that they are great. the music, the opening scenes, the ladies, the gadgets - you always know what to expect.
at 724, when i ran product management, we codenamed all our releases after bond villians. that was fun.
what a rambling post with absolutely no cohesion between sentences.

Well, United and American will never see wi-fi, and once again, Osama Bin Laden is to blame, according to this article.
Too bad.

are these pictures from Chicago?
nope. Iraq.
I see this graffiti from the train every day riding into work. looks like we are putting our gang member's skills to good use. for those of you who don't know what color bandana to wear, those are the tags of the gangser disciples, the black gangster disciples, and the latin kings

sony ericsson K790a
wow, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and a music player, combined with EDGE. This phone is going to rock. too bad there isn't a HSPDA version (there is a UMTS version for Europe with the K800).
If you were thinking about the K750i, hold off for this one!
New memory stick format though from Sony, the M2. Duo Pro wasn't small enough?

Major Nelson and company posts some images of how the HD-DVD player will work on the Xbox 360. Seems pretty straightforward.

a good observation by eric o on MySpace vs VOX
i agree adding a friend in VOX needs some serious work. it's hard to put your finger on why myspace works, and i'm probably too old to ever understand it, so i'm glad Eric spelled this out for us.

nokia asks stupid question on firmware
Nokia makes nice phones but they so don't get some very simple concepts. i remember when there was an N-Gage engineer who said "why would anyone need to change the game without taking out the battery?" and now they are asking "who would want user updateable firmware?" please, the Sony Ericsson P910, the PSP, and pretty much every Sprint PCS phone has had user updatable firmware forever. And, EVERY nokia firmware version has bugs.
