infoSync World reviews T-Mobile BlackBerry 8700g

To all you crackberry users – infoSync World has reviewed the new T-Mobile BlackBerry 8700g.  The 8700 series has a new, larger QVGA screen, includes EDGE data services for better wireless performance (I’ve seen up to 200kbps on my MDA), a refined user interface, and a new Intel XScale processor helps speed up the device.

Team evaporation

Its amazing how one new individual added to a team can start to disolve the well understood relationships within.  This is happening at work, and unfortuntely, I don’t think I can work with the result.  We’ve added a new manager for one are of our department, and he seems to be too intent on playing the role of “manager” than being a team member.

The approach is quite remenicent of isolationism than anything else I’ve seen recently, and is really rubbing a number of other groups the wrong way.  Too bad, because he has the ability to shape his group in a whole new way, but I don’t know if he’s going in the right direction yet.  He sure pissed me off – ’nuff said (for now).

Taking Risks…

Kathy Sierra has a great post called Do Something Scary.  She quotes Eleanor Roosevelt who said “Do one thing every day that scares you”, and continues talking about trying new things (taking risks) and expanding your experiences.  This is something I’ve been trying to do for the last few weeks, and have had a few minor successes (at least in my book), so I’m going to keep tacking new risks, try new things.
The post is a really good read, you should also check out Death by risk-aversion, another post by Kathy.
