BYU and Utah win

I'm a BYU fan, and always will be, and the win over Notre Dame this weekend was sweet. Notre Dame is always a great game for the Cougars and BYU fans. I'm just glad they won this year.

Utah also won, beating Texas A&M, 21-41. It was a good win for the Utes.

Both teams have new coaching staffs. Hopefully they can bring the schools back to their winning ways.

Living in Utah

One of the reasons I love living in Utah is the 4 distinct seasons you experience. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. There are plenty of things to do all year round. Here is a great photo (Al Hartmann/The Salt Lake Tribune) of a run-off lake high in the Rocky Mountains. It's an easy hike to get to this lake as are many others from the same trails. Every season is beautiful and allows one to see the best nature has to offer.

Tom Yager has done an excellent job in presenting his views on the three devices. They are pretty impartial and give the reader a good sense of the units capabilities. Throwing in his own opinions and comparisons gives you the feeling that he has used these devices in the real world. Good job Tom!

Gmail from Google.com, cool

I finally got a Gmail account. I don't know why it's such a big deal, I mean 1GB of storage space, mail threads, labeing much more... FOR FREE! I discovered a cool toolbar feature called Gmail Notifier (here) and installed it. Let's me see when mail comes in (since Gmail is web based, I don't need a browser open), and I can respond to mail links in web pages from an IE plug-in. This is pretty cool stuff...

I also found a program called GmailFS, I think, that lets someone with a Linux box set up a connection to use the Gmail account space as storage, basically creating a hosted offsite back up system. It might be cool to have a Linux box just to see this work.
