Bill Manning’s Blog

I just switched my mail server over from my own to Google. Google is starting to offer Gmail for Domains. So now my bcmanning.com account down is stored on the massive Gmail infrastructure. I know it is interesting and was willing to give it a shot. I saw a article about it the other day on digg. I applied and was excepted. Let’s see how it does. I am really looking forward to all the good spam filtering and even the Google chat.

Liam and I went to Almaden Lake Park in San Jose and had a blast. We threw some rock, went on a really long walk and just had a overall blast. He is such a funny kid. I have posted some pictures of another fun and great day with my son.

I am off on another business trip (the 5th this year) to Dallas. We have a customer there who I am going to go and do a standard install. While I am there I am going to visit an old co-worker named Joey. We used to work together at E.piphany and is a joint friend of mine. It should be an interesting trip.

PocketMod “The free and disposable organizer!” is a great site that was forward to me by a friend of my who it the complete opposite of my gadget obsession. As he says whenever he see any tech gadget: “i don’t believe in your techno-gadget bullshit.” PocketMod is the perfect answer to his needs for organization.

What makes the PocketMod so special? Many things make this little personal organizer special, here is a list. 1. It fits easily in your back pocket or purse. 2. It’s as cheap as one piece of paper (Because that’s all it is!) 3. It opens like a book. Leading to easier to find, more organized notes.

4. The first page has a pouch, big enough to carry a business card!
5. Customizable with “Mods” tailored to your needs.
6. It’s free and fun!

I just thought it was some pretty funny stuff. They even have a Mac addition.
