Scrybe -- Sweet!

OK. This is two videos, and not much to say but Wow! Watch these:





I've been migrating my work online over the past several months. All of my word processing is online now between Google Docs and a new one I found, Zoho. I use the same for most spreadsheet work. The only time I go out to Excel these days, is for work related stuff that requires me to write scripts for database access.

The one thing I can't find is a good online to do list. I've used a product called "RememberTheMilk." It's OK, but just feels a bit off. Maybe I just didn't give the interface much time. I've been using "Zoho Planner". It seems a little more robust and certainly looks a bit more professional. However, it still doesn't have what I need. I need the ability to record notes and have them related somehow to an individual task.

Anyway, this new Scrybe http://iscrybe.com/main/index.php product looks awesome. Not only does it appear to do some of the things that have been missing from other solutions, but it has an 'offline access' mode. This is very cool. I can't wait until they open up registration.

The one thing I'm still waiting for is the ability to sync to my Win CE PDA phone. It seems that Yahoo can do this, but their task and notes functionality is relatively primative compared to some of these other tools. I can't justify the sacrifice for sync capability. Guess I'm stuck with Outlook for now. MS Office is just so 'heavy' on my system, I can't stand to load it.

IE is the same way. It just seems to bog my system down. I much prefer the leaner Firefox. I like Opera too, but there are far too many sites that don't work with Opera.

Oh well. My rant is over. Catch you later.

Get the vote out...

Any idea how you'll vote? All I know is Bush doesn't seem to have any idea what he's doing as it relates to Iraq and the war on terror. It conjures the image of a man holding a very large snake by the head. He reached in and grabbed this beast by the head. Now, despite his grip on the head, this snake is kicking his ass. Problem is, he doesn't know how to get out of it. If he lets go of the beast to get away, it will bite him in the ass, so he's just holding on for dear life with no way out.

Too many people are dying, American and otherwise. I don't want to turn and run like we did in Vietnam, but at the same time, is it worth the loss of all these brave people just to save face? I think it's a little too late for that anyway. We're already disgraced in the international community.

I've never voted along party lines, but I think I may have to start this season. It's about the lesser of the two evils this year. (of course, isn't it always)
