My Afflation

Instead of blogging today when I had some downtime and began suffering from writer's block I took @KG_Photography's advice : Looked at various searches as to why @hankito couldn't get his Samsung Galaxy to sync with Picasa . None of my suggestions worked so I'll have to do some in-person troubleshooting since I have an android phone and have had picasa albums on my phone I think since my G1.

I didn't realize how many web apps I used, so some things like email and document creation don't matter as much (thank you Google Docs ). I do run VMWare with Windows so I can run programs like Windows Live Writer but I thought I would look for something similar on the Mac side. I love Darren of Problogger who has a post covering just this topic: 14 Essential Mac OS X Applications for Bloggers : "A number of blogging friends have recently made the switch from using PCs to using Macs as their primary blogging machines.
