Last week i got the new Blackberry 8520 Curve and i though I would write my first five things similar to ones did on the blackberry blog site. Since i this my third blackberry I’ve got my steps setting up down pretty good.
- Download Google Mobile Apps; OMG this has got to be my used applications on my blackberry. First the Google sync is one hell of an application it syncs up my address book and calendar to my Gmail account. Then instead of using the blackberry maps application i would rather use Google maps. Google
- Download Facebook and setup app so that it downloads pictures to my contacts, calendar events, and what not’s
- Pull down a new service book; so that my work, Jaycees, and personal emails start flowing to my new device.
- Ping all my friends with my new pin; Blackberry messenger has to be one of most easy to use messenger clients out there, btw if you want my PIN text me and I’ll give it to you.
- Set my background; of course i use one the White Sox. I pulled one that i took last year while me and Ann was at the sox game down from my Facebook mobile pictures album.
This new Blackberry device has way more capabilities then my last model. First I’m taking full advantage of the Apps World and second OMG Pandora runs so smooth and fast on it just like playing a song from my iTunes Library.

I’m a really big fan of micro-blogging services for a couple reasons one I hate writing long blog 
postings and the other is just the simplicity of the technology I can just post to it with one hand while driving or while eating, or sitting in a meeting. Since
I begin twittering just about three months ago I’ve posted over 600 updates. Everything from my daily status to just random questions, but hey so check out my stats below of my usage patterns.

Each year the North Region Jaycees introduce a new website. Well for the 2009 year I’ve create their organizations website. This year it will be based on the WordPress platform because its easy of use for the board and the groups webmaster. For this site I was inspired by the New York Times and tried to make this a news and events based website with integration into Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The North Region Jaycees is one of the largest regions in Illinois. Each year their chapters hold over 600 events and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities. More information about the group can be founded on their website www.northregionjaycees.com

I came across this commercial by Nike last and still think it’s great. Take a look at it, hope you enjoy. It shows the success that can come from never giving up on your goal.

I’m one of those weird people who use multiple computers each day to get work things done. When I’m in the office I use my desktop PC and then at home I use my work laptop, prior to last year accessing my work files on my Desktop from work was nearly impossible. An then everyone got their own personal network share about year. Since then I’ve been saving all my files to my share and accessing them their over our corp. vpn to get to them. Well 
each time when I start a new file I had to change my saving location from my documents to my network folder and well, that gets kind of old so I figure why not take it one step further. Why don’t I just change my default my documents location. Well after downing a little search on the Internet I came a article in the MSDN Here’s a link to it if you want to change your default my documents location too http://tinyurl.com/9ngo7y
