Evernote
So I pulled the trigger today and moved from a free loader at Evernote to a "Premium" member. To tell you the truth it feels good and the $45 per year seems like a good deal over all. If you don't know what Evernote is or does, check out the website http://www.evernote.com.
Basically it's Google Notebook but about 100 times better. It's a place to store notes, scanned articles, web clippings, etc. More importantly, if you do PC support or work in IT, this is where the ability to have your notes on your iPhone becomes unbelievably handy. Not to mention that with you paid subscription you can take pictures of business cards with your iPhone. Load them into Evernote and the OCR function makes that card searchable.
Now, there are issues with the OCR but this thing works pretty well.

POST 300 - And it's a complaint to Nintendo...fix your freaking website
Dear Nintendo,
Just wanted to let you know it was a good Christmas at my house. We picked up a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo DS. Being a good customer I wanted to register my product so you can fill my in box and mailbox with crap. But one small problem. Mario tells me that Club Nintendo is down. In fact, he's been telling me that for 4 days now.
Other than that we are really enjoying your products.
Sincerely,
New Nintendo Fan

Let's get this Election over...
Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy but I'm so ready for this election to be over with. It's the stupid political ads. Everyone is a bad person and they hate old people and childern. They don't like the poor or the rich or the people in the middle. I'm just done with the whole thing.
On the other hand I'm also a little excited about the whole thing. I mean it does have a lot of hype behind it. We will see history made yet again.
Either way, don't be a dope go out and vote.
Peace Out.

Hey if anyone is paying attention...iPhone developers...SSH and Telnet - UPDATED
UPDATE:
Hey someone was listening. Saw this posted over at TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog). pTerm has been released and a patched version is coming out right behind it. For $4.99 you can rule the world. I'm going to buy it and give it a quick review.
Link to TUAW post here pTerm released, update due soon.
If someone comes up with a good SSH/Telnet client for iPhone, that would be a killer app. I don't own an iPhone 3G but if I did that's one thing that I would need. Because as a Data Comm guy, I could access my network via the 3G and Cisco IPSEC client. Then fire up that SSH/Telnet client and I could rule the world.

BlogRush....I'm I the only one who doesn't "get it"?
If you read this blog on what would be considered a normal basis....wow. Because I'm not sure I ever have anything real to say. I do however use it as a forum to openly complain and while it makes me feel better, I doubt I'm making a difference out there.
On to the subject. BlogRush. I have been signed up for over 6 months. I have not seen any benefit from this service. Maybe it's because I'm not categorized properly. Maybe it's because, like stated above, I bring nothing to the table. I did however change my category today and I'm interested in seeing if this makes a difference.
If you use BlogRush and you think it works, leave a comment. I would be interested in your take on this service.
