Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
I needed a little help getting my new phone configured for T-Mobile’s service in my area… forget figuring anything out on the TMO website… so I went to the always trusty forums on HowardForums. Rarely has there been a question that I have not found an answer to by searching or posting to this forum. [...]
Wiki Wednesday is this week, sign up on the wiki (of course). Featured this week is Jeremy Ruston, the creator of TiddlyWiki.

One of my guys has been testing the blackberry version for a while and reports that it works well and offers snappy performance, something I find a lot of mobile clients can’t claim. This is a really important addition for us simply [...]
