I’ve gotten this question twice in the past week, so I figured I should share this knowledge with the world. I’ve already discussed how to sync Android and Mac to copy files to/from your SD card. This is exclusively about Outlook. Read on!
CompanionLink (link) is the first app that I came across. This app syncs directly from Outlook to your Android. It syncs your email, contacts, tasks, etc. from Outlook. You must use your data cable and have an app called DejaOffice (free in the Market) already on your device to get this program to work. Some might not like the price at $39.95, but if you need Outlook and want to bypass Google, this is one of your few options. CompanionLink only works on PCs.
As you guys know, I’m an avid photographer and I love to travel. I’ve got a week long trip coming up and I’m flying to all my destinations so I went online to see if I could find a small travel tripod. The tripod I already have is about 24 inches long folded up and about five inches wide. Definitely not fitting in a daypack and I’m not a fan of tying stuff on for city exploring. I want to grab and go. After much searching and finding few options that would hold my camera weight, I started looking at photography boards about solutions. Considering that I’ll be in NYC to see Ellie, I saw that a couple places we’re going do not allow traditional tripods without a lot of hassle. But the most awesome comment suggested to use a bean bag tripod. I’d never heard of one, so of course I set out to see what I could find. I found an awesome product called THE pod, but every store I could find was sold out or would be far to expensive to get here before my trip. So I started searching for other bean bag tripods and found directions to make my own! I’ve edited them to post here and added a few helpful websites in case you’ve never sewn before or made anything like this.
It seems like I’ve been writing a lot of iPhone app posts lately. Probably because I have been. But I’ve had plenty of time to test some really neat free ones that I think you all will like. Check ‘em out and let me know what you think!!

Domain Appraisal is the first step you should take after deciding to sell your site. Not only can you get a person to evaluate the value of your site, but you can also use the information for tax purposes or to help you decide how much to charge for advertising.
Look for domain appraisal that is non-automated and uses a variety of factors to determine the value of your site. Don’t let them just look at one or two factors and make a decision on how much your domain is worth! Look for appraisers who are experienced or have training in valuation.

The weekend before and the week of finals I spent time baking lots of cookies. Despite all the sugary goodness that I baked, I didn’t eat most of the cookies myself – I shared and shared and shared. If you’re like me, you watch what you eat for one reason or another. But baking for me is a good mental break from all my hard tech work and at that time I really needed it (don’t all of us techies need an occasional break from computers or phones or gaming?). I don’t keep pre-packaged cookies in my house so making some is the only way (besides occassional Starbucks) that I’ll have any. But I digress – if you’re interested in some pretty basic recipes (even a complete novice can make these), here ya go. Make sure you have at least one cookie sheet and I recommend also using foil or parchment paper to cover the cookie sheet (it helps keep the cookies moving in and out of the oven).

How is a technology crazed kid to fly these days!? Take this out, put this on here, move this over here, that should be over here in this bag…..the rules of air travel go on and on and on. I fly semi-frequently and have come up with a TSA and HarriMac friendly way of flying. No more being driven crazy even in Hartsfield-Jackson!! I’ll touch on general tips and some tech tips here.

Twitter recently deleted a lot of (spam) accounts, but that doesn’t mean that new spammers aren’t showing up every day to clog the twit-stream with porn, ‘get followers fast’ schemes and get rich quick schemes.
Follow Twitter’s lead and combat spam on your own.
1. Use TweetDeck to auto-report spam followers.

You’ve written a great e-book and now you want to publish it so that others can enjoy and learn from your research. There are several ways to accomplish self-publishing, including using paid e-book creator software, but I know it is just as simple to create a .pdf document for free.
First, you want to make sure your e-book is formatted into an easy to read and navigate document. Microsoft Word 2007 offers document element inserts, which include:
- A well designed cover to grab the reader’s attention and market your e-book
