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 …

The Tampa Bay Rays win again, bringing their record to 3 – 1.
The Rays played the New York Yankees at home on Friday, the first of a three game series.  They held of the Yankees until the top of the fourth inning when the Yankees scored two.  But the Rays weren’t having it.
In the bottom of the fourth Carlos Peña started it off for the Rays with a two run homer.  BJ Upton then singled before stealing second (no surprise there).  Dioner Navarro then singled and Upton came home, making the score 3 – 2.  But it wasn’t over yet.  Sean Rodriguez singled, only to have it followed up with Jason Bartlett hitting a two run double, bring the score to 5 – 2.  Two innings later the Rays extended their lead, scoring four additional runs.
In the top of the eight the Yankees scored once more, but it wasn’t enough.  …

The Tampa Bay Rays have won Opening Day 2010.  And boy, what a finish.
The Rays were down 3 – 1 until the bottom of the sixth when Evan Longoria hit a solo homer into the upper deck.  The blast was estimated at 473 feet, the third longest home run at Tropicana Field.  Longoria’s homer brought the score to 3 – 2.
Then with two outs in the ninth they loaded the bases.   That’s when left fielder Carl Crawford hit a single that drove in two runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 4 – 3.
Here’s something you don’t see every game:  Every Ray got at least one hit tonight, three of them got two hits.
Way to go Rays!
Now rest up.  Game 2 is tomorrow.

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 …
