SugarSync
I’ve been wanting to talk about SugarSync for awhile now but haven’t really had a chance to write a detailed review of it. In fact, I really don’t have the time right now, but I think this is something that everyone should have.
SugarSync allows you to do five main things:
Backup your files (documents, photos, music, etc.) offsite
Sync your files across multiple computers (desktop, laptop, office, netbook, etc)
Share your files with friends or colleagues
Access your files from any internet connection
Manage your files from your smartphone using apps available for the iPhone, Blackberry, Android & WinMo
Why should you backup your files offsite? Let me tell you a story.
For about two years I backed up my files on an external drive. Some of the files I stored on it were original files, meaning that no other copies existed. Then one day I saw that the light on the HD was flashing. The motor …
Othello for the Android Eris
Okay, this might be a simple game but it’s still addicting.
A couple of days ago I downloaded Othello Reversi for my HTC Android Eris from the Android Marketplace. A quick install and I was ready to play a childhood favorite.
When you start the game you’re taken to a control panel. It’s a little simple looking but you really don’t need a fancy screen to choose which color you want to be right? You also have the option to play against someone else, watch a demo or exit the game.
Once you select a color the game starts. Along the bottom are the scores and whose turn it is. You can also replay a move if you missed what just happened.
Game play is just like the board game. I’ve only played a few games but they seem to last a little less than five minutes.
Overall, a good time killer that’s simple to …
Cool Android Game – Robo Defense
I just wanted to take a moment and talk about a game I downloaded for my HTC Droid Eris. It’s called Robo Defense.
I found the free version of this game while scrolling through the Android Marketplace Games. It had a high review rating so I thought heck, it’s free, why not give it a shot. It quickly became a very addicting game.
The goal of the game is to prevent enemy robots, tanks and aircraft from getting into your base. You build up a defense of cannons, road blocks, surface to air missiles to prohibit them from reaching your base’s main door.
Once you learn the basics of the game you’ll be able to start planning strategies to complicate their movements.
On the third or fourth try I was able to successfully beat the game. However, just because you beat it once doesn’t mean you can’t play it again. You can try different …
Review of the HTC Droid Eris
On Sunday, March 14, 2010 I decided to step outside my comfort zone and purchase a new phone. This might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but I like to keep things simple. It takes me a few moments to deal with change. Changing my phone, especially to something like the one I bought, was a huge step. I decided it was time to upgrade to a smartphone.
Why a smartphone?
There have been several times where I was out for a walk or waiting for an appointment and I either get an idea, had a question about something, or was just bored, and sending a text email to remind myself to look something up later wasn’t cutting it anymore. I wanted to jot down the idea or find the answer to my question right then.
Also, I often hang out at my local Starbucks on my days off …
