I am looking to get an iPhone in the fall, moving from Android to iOS. Can someone tell me how well contact syncing is working these days with Gmail?

I completely agree (with both parts about not wanting to be 'that guy', and the system failing). I think its just not appropriate for the style of LH. We don't have huge discussions, but many two comment threads. Clicking through will never make it easier (than scrolling) to see all the different conversations. Kinja…

I end up having sticky notes during the day for intermediate tasks. Same concept (which I am fan).

I keep everything in the medium sized notebook http://www.amazon.com/dp/8883701127/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=bneely-20 . I have it separated into two sections, projects/daily lists and notes. I have a meeting on wednesday mornings, and so every wednesday, I make a list of what I have done that past week, and projects to…

We have one of these in Charleston Harbor, its just a place to put dredging. Here they have made it sound like it is a restoration, but if its anything like our sediment, you don't want to hang out with it. http://goo.gl/maps/RSyi

Guess we saw that in action with the Great MP3 Experiment last week. http://lifehacker.com/5921889/concluding-the-great-mp3-bitrate-experiment

good to hear.

Real question, not a comment like my previous: are the comment sections closing at a certain time now, say after a day? That could really stink. I have seen comments happening up to a week after a post is put up, and sometimes (though this isn't perfect) when posts are referenced, those olde posts will get new threads…

I guess there is no reason for descent since it will happen either way. I don't think the majority of useful conversations on LH are more than a few replies due to our eclectic nature. This style is built for large conversations IMO, not countless two comment mini conversations.

I can't seem to find an NBC sports stream on places like FirstRowSports, but you can get some other announcers at places like here [sports-livez.com] (I was checking today and this is the same feed quality I found at a bunch of other places). I just gave up cable and am super annoyed about missing it. If anyone finds…

not sure if i was clear, but i meant on the moto. i had to go out for lunch yesterday and being in stop and go traffic in the noon-day sun on a motorcycle surrounded by concrete was a bit warm. the black helmet and jacket probably don't help either.

I have had the same experience here in Charleston, SC. This morning it was perfect (low 70s, still humid of course). I will say though, driving around in traffic mid-day can be hell. We still have a nice on shore breeze keeping us cool though.

HDD opinions please

Do the those new fangled bluray players have a way deal with it? Also, I will comb through the bible of my pioneer VSX-1021 and see what's there.

I have 4 fences which take up my whole second monitor. They are more GTD-ish, 'Incoming', 'Current', 'Archive Queue', and 'Misc'. I simply drag things between them as I am working.

Since I use Mac at home and on travel, mind if I ask what your alternative workflow entails?

I love using Fences for this, so that I essentially have a quasi-GTD system overlayed on whatever wallpaper my mood requires. [www.stardock.com] Of course the creations above are great, and having the psd files makes them incredibly useful (and applicable on a Mac or other place where Fences doesn't work).

So, in the interest of still having a life and lower power bill, how do you feel about a Synology NAS, which can do all of these things (the crashplan support via third-party ARM package)? I am all about tinkering, but some of these solutions are pretty amazing.
