I'd like to tell you all about a new friend of mine. The first is a friend that I met at MacWorld New York. This is a great pal that has really made my life easier in the past week or so. He never forgets to remind me about important dates, which I sometimes have trouble remembering. His name is Entourage. Actually, his full name is Microsoft Entourage, part of the Microsoft Office:2001 for Mac suite. But most people just call him Entourage. All jokes aside, at the Microsoft demonstration where I won my new mouse, I learned tons of features that were in Entourage that could make life easier for me. One of the best features (and probably the one that finally made me make the switch from Outlook Express) is Palm syncronization. Instead of keeping my calendar, to-dos, and notes in my Palm software and my address book in my email program, why not keep it all in the same place? That's what Entourage does. This may not seem like such a breakthrough for PC users, but this has been somewhat lacking on previous versions of Mico$oft's email clients. So, now I keep all of my Palm data in Entourage and I don't have to switch back and forth between the two. Nifty.
On a completely different subject: As you all have seen by my photo gallery from this past weekend's show, there was quite a turnout. I took some 107 photos, and I emailed the editors over at SporTruck.com to see if they wanted to use my photos for their online coverage of the show. Well, I received an email back from one of them last night, saying that they'd like to use my photos, and if I ever take lots of pictures at future shows that they may be interested. Not too bad. It's kind of an honor to have my photos up on their site. The photos should be up on their site in a few days, so go check them out. Either way, it's a great site with plenty of other photos from custom vehicle events around the country. Definitely one of my favorite "truck sites".
I guess that's about all for now. My schedule with my blog has gotten waaaay out of sync. Lately, I always forget to update it at night, and then I remmeber on my way to work the next morning. I suppose my internal clock still isn't back to normal after all of our traveling over the past month of two.
