A Berry Nice Mother's Day

My family gave me a really great gift for Mother's Day!

I got a BlackBerry and I'm so excited! (I would have been happy with a Windows Mobile device to which would have integrated with my Small Business Server (aka SBS2003) but I didn't really care which I got.

Now I have to find a million reasons to use it for things other than a cellular phone...there's the calendar, the tasklist and the address list, all of which integrate with my Outlook. Then there is the web browser which allows me to remotely connect to my SBS2003, and the calculator and the ability to instant message with Yahoo and the QWERTY keypad that makes it easy to type and on and on and on...

I'm very excited about my new toy...I'm going to find a few ways to use it to make it easier to write. I could likely use the calendar and the reminders to set time aside for writing and let me know when the time begins or ends...it's really amazing.

It does everything but get my coffee...
