Seriously trivial thoughts
I you analyze the URL for the pictures I use in my blog, you’d see that they are hosted at dougworld.com. I don’t use the WordPress storage because it’s just easier to upload and backup this way. Plus I have tons of extra storage there. Anyways, I used to save the image locally and then …
Readers of my blog know that I’m on the prowl for a new speaker dock for my 2nd gen iPod Touch. The Philips DC350 iPhone and iPod Docking Entertainment System looks like it might be the one.

I like to flag messages of importance in Outlook. However, Outlook does not automatically clear the flag if you delete it. I also often move the message into folders and forget to clear the flag. What ends up happening is the For Follow Up shortcut has messages that are no longer important. Anyways, I figured …
I just got my second Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere2. This one’s going on my desk at work. Why do I like it? Well, it’s the only portable speaker I could verify would properly charge my 2nd gen iPod Touch. Apparently, Apple changed the power pins and most other speakers don’t charge the 2nd gen Touch. The …
