DockStar: Supercharge the Mail.app dock icon
Thursday, January 24, 2008 / Software / 0 Comments
In this day and age, between work e-mail, free e-mail, multiple home accounts and even newsfeeds, opening your inbox can seem an overwhelming task. Many of us have had the experience of shouting, “WHAT?! 264 new messages?! I just got everything caught up last night!”
Well, now, with the aid of a simple utility, you can help get yourself a little more organized, without a single change to the way you read your e-mail. No complicated e-mail filtering rules, no lectures on what can and can’t stay in your inbox, no clandestine meetings at E-mailers Anonymous.
Contemplating Technology
Friday, January 4, 2008 / Technology / 0 Comments
I often wonder how many of us really stand back and contemplate the world of technology. I’m sure some of us pretty much just accept whatever happens, while others delight in every new-fangled creation whether or not it really improves his or her life, and of course there are others that are pretty much suspicious of anything new. Those are all reactions… but how about contemplations?
There are many of us who can think back to the days before the internet… but notwithstanding the increasing number of young workers who have never known anything but, that’s actually getting harder and harder to do. Everything’s on the web. If an evil alien race approached our planet and needed to know everything possible about the human race before they attacked, all they’d have to do is steal a personal computer and start reading.
Today’s E-mail Follies

E-mail has become such an integral part of most people’s lives that it’s almost hard to remember that its pervasive presence is barely about a decade old (like many things we use today, its “invention” dates back another thirty or forty years, but it didn’t get to be such a large part of everyone’s lives until the explosion of the internet).
For me personally, my day starts and ends and revolves around e-mail. Information I used to receive through the mail, fax machine, phone and in-person visits now comes almost exclusively via e-mail. If you haven’t pondered how to properly manage and organize your e-mail duties yet, you’d better be thinking about it now, because e-mail isn’t going away anytime soon.
