If the folks working on Thunderbird can implement a simple calendaring and task mgmt system with hooks into Exchange, I just might be able to ditch Outlook altogether. I gotta check this out, as I recently switched back to Outlook after using Thunderbird as my mail client at work for the past month. The only thing I wasn't able to do (which really blows) is accept/reject meeting invites. My workaround of syncing with My Yahoo! Calendar works, but is a less than desirable solution. The cool thing with using My Yahoo is setting up SMS reminders for meetings that are delivered to my razr. very helpful...

Adam Bosworth's Weblog: Speaking up
Adam Bosworth's Weblog: Speaking up
Great commentary from Adam on the current [sad] state of affairs in our once beloved country and around the world. Couldn't agree more with your perspective Adam. What really infuriates me are the folks in Kansas pushing their wacked out agenda, completely ignoring the well established peer review process that forms the backbone of the scientific community. As someone with a degree in the biological sciences, this REALLY upsetting.
Adam's right, it is time to speak up. In addition to the donations I've made to support the relief efforts for the Tsunami, Katrina, Rita, and the earthquake in Pakistan, I've donated more $$ this year to political orgs than ever in the past.
Unfortunately, this alone is not enough.
We need to mobilize.
We need to strategize.
We need to organize.
We need to collaborate.
We need to communicate.
We need to speak out.
Come on people [geeks, engineers, scientists, researchers, thinkers, scholars, educators - take NOTE] - let's figure out how to put the bleeding edge technology, software, and gadetry that we take for granted to use in new and ingenious ways to unify our voices and speak out against the hipocracy.
With that, I'll leave this rant with a final thought - it's a pretty sad day when the most accurate news I get comes from Comedy Central.

Biggest Wi-Fi Cloud Is in Rural Oregon - Yahoo! News
Finally...a consumer-focused application of wi-fi tech with the potential to help solve problems that might be applicable to an average joe...or in this case...a farmer.
Biggest Wi-Fi Cloud Is in Rural Oregon - Yahoo! News: "While his service is free to the general public, Ziari is recovering the investment through contracts with more than 30 city and county agencies, as well as big farms such as Hale's, whose onion empire supplies over two-thirds of the red onions used by the Subway sandwich chain. Morrow County, for instance, pays $180,000 a year for Ziari's service."
