I have a lot to back up (200GB), so Carbonite wins on price. But it won't back up external or network drives - not good.
Any recommendations for online backup providers? I'm currently looking at Carbonite and Jungle Disk.
Just switched Gmail to always use https and Offline broke. Ended up reinstalling. Cache appears to be stored by port in Gears.

Don't "Get Into Social Media" http://ping.fm/zNFCa
Debating going to see one (or more) of "Sunshine Cleaning", "Gomorrah", "I Love You, Man", and "Knowing". Recs?

Hit 500 movies in my Netflix DVD queue. Pushing that in my Instant queue. Time to watch more movies or do a major purge.

There is a major lack of decent microblogging apps for Windows Mobile.
Nice - Gmail adds an Undo Send feature to Labs. http://ping.fm/h8GbA

Looking for recommendations - what do I simply HAVE to do before leaving Boston/Cambridge?
I need to find time to be a tourist in my own city before I'm gone.
It's official - I'm moving on from Boston at the end of May.

Watchmen - I'm not familiar with the source material, so maybe I'm missing something. Verdict = Boring and silly.
In the end, I should have skipped TLHotL and rewatched Bergman's "The Virgin Spring".
Make that a silly, "Hollywood-ized" ending...
Remake of The Last House on the Left - better than original, poor ending.

Roku + Amazon is so easy, I now have access to video that I forgot buying! :-)
Just connected my Roku with Amazon. So easy to rent and buy video - and never store another piece of physical media.

Was wondering if/when this would happen. Amazon increases the reach of the Kindle as publishing platform in one simple step. http://ping.fm/sP820
Back from Knoxville TN. Nice city, great customer visit. Always good to visit with sharp customer with real defined need for your product.

Switching to a different carrier will cost me an early term fee of $250, but right now it feels worth it.
AT&T sucks - I have a broken mobile, but I'm not "eligible for an upgrade" yet. iPhone 16 GB = $499. BlackBerry Bold = $549.
