I just rediscovered a handy feature of Yahoo: its online address book. I use Yahoo for a free email account, but haven’t used many of their other online PIM features (calendar, address book, note pad, etc.). Instead, I sync my Palm handheld to Palm Desktop (Address, To Do, Memo, etc.) and Outlook (Calendar). Syncing with Yahoo is pretty straighforward, but it only cleanly handles device–Yahoo sync.

The kids really scored this year when Santa brought a GameCube. (I’m not complaining, of course.) Our game collection probably won’t grow too big, but we’re starting out with a pretty good set of games: Super Monkey Ball Super Mario Sunshine Monsters, Inc. Scream Arena Pikmin Rocket Power: Beach Bandits (Nickelodeon) Wave Race: Blue Storm (jetski racing) Beach Spikers (volleyball) Medal of Honor Frontline Star Wars Rogue Leader Since these games can be fairly expensive ($50 for the newest releases), it will probably make sense to either borrow from friends first or rent them at Blockbuster.

Just for grins, here’s a screenshot of the Christmas theme: CantoniOrgXmas (PNG, 46 KB).
