Part 2 of the previous Wordpress Tag Post
In my continuing effort to duplicate existing categories associated with posts as tags, I offer up this plugin. Remember, my goal is to phase categories out in favor of tags. So I don’t want to do just an abrupt change over switching my categories to tags. Instead, I [...]

Official Gmail Blog: New Gmail for the iPhone
January 15th, 2008 · No Comments
I think I’ll stop using the built in email feature on the iPhone now that Google has released a new version of Gmail specific for the iPhone. It’s snazzy and goodness and I find that using POP IMAP with Gmail isn’t a nice email experience (although it gets the job done).
