The First 5 Things I do When I Get a New BlackBerry

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.

Why i twitter

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.

If your on twitter follow me @gogorichie

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

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.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Changing the default My documents

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

Why I Relay 4 Life

My primary reason for support relay for life is as you may or may not know I lost my grand father to his battle with cancer a few years back and followed by two aunts a few months later. That made really think about cancer and we can cure it. Cancer is one of those diseases that effects people no matter if their rich or poor . If their Black or white, we all know someone who has been impacted by cancer. For the past three years I’ve gotten involved with Relays all across the northwest suburbs. As you may know I’m a member of the Jaycees and they are heavy supporters of the American Cancer Society, especially the Relay For Life program. Please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society to keep the fight going for those we’ve lost in the battle of cancer.
