Other times I enjoyed just following the cycle route signs and whizzing down hills to catch up on time I had lost.

I’ve been using CoPilot 7 for a couple of days. It’s a great application for GPS navigation on Windows Mobile devices. One big drawback for me is that it doesn’t have the ability to silence the voice without also turning down the master system volume.

This way, I can select the Silent voice in CoPilot, while l

(note to self) Mobhappy: Location-Based vs. Context-Aware Location is just a part of the context of each individual user In some cases, such as mapping, there isn’t a great need for context-awareness instead of location, but in many LBS instances, being sensitive to context is much more important than simply location Musings of a mobile marketer: Location Based Services - are they all missing the point? I can’t help thinking that many of the LBS initiatives are missing the point Twitter h

Toodledo helps manage your life in bite-size pieces August 25th, 2008 Earlier Monday one of my colleagues from Gamespot spent most of lunch gushing to me about his new favorite GTD tool.

I have done some reading about how to implement this data source layer because it can become pretty messy in big projects. It’s also hard to refactor once a choice of pattern is made so it’s important to make the right choice from the beginning. For my current project I’ll look into some patterns, ide
