AirSet - my new PIM

By kate on September 10th, 2007

I’ve been using Trumba for an online calendar since they were in closed beta. I became a paying user because I liked it so much. Now, however, they’ve given the finger to their individual users, jacked their prices sky-high, and aimed for the enterprise market. Fine, screw you too, Trumba.
I spent a long time looking […]

Grandmom was a Blogger

By kate on May 3rd, 2007

Then, lately, I’ve noticed my parents doing the same thing, particularly my dad. […]

Baby Names

By kate on January 27th, 2006

Here’s a humorous list of baby names from McSweeney’s. I particularly like “Stevelyn”.
I’ve been too busy to post anything lately, but there isn’t much news. I’m coping with some nerve issues in my wrist (pregnancy-related carpal tunnel), which wasn’t really a surprise because my mom got the same thing. Otherwise, there’s not too much to […]

By kate on June 24th, 2005

Combine Google maps, text messaging, camera phones, tagging, social networking, and blogging and you get one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a while: Foundcity.
It’s almost enough to make me consider giving up my Blackberry for a camera phone by the time they start a Seattle version… (Although not quite, because I could use […]

Name dropping… er, “sharing”

By kate on May 4th, 2005

Thanks to my job at a software startup in the “folksonomy” and social networking arena, I’ve been paying more attention to the interesting new websites out there.
