OS/X 10.5.3 has google contacts sync, but 1) only if you’ve connected to an ipod touch or iphone, and 2) only when you sync an ipod. Lifehacker has a workaround.

On Saturday, I made a note of the book title and author to try to pick up over the weekend.
On Sunday, I checked in-store availability at the Borders at Michigan and Chicago Aves. In-stock.

Congrats to Andy Rubin and the gang. It’s very very cool, and a shot across the bow at an entire industry.

Relying on others

Phil Wilson and Hugh Winkler discuss the pitfalls and potential solutions to using someone else’s 269 feed personal aggregator in their subscription list.
If you look carefully, you’ll notice they mentioned this last week. That’s because when I hit Phil’s post in greader, I had 651 unread messages in PI…. down from “1000+” last friday […]
