Leopard Mail/iCal ToDos on the iPhone-- pretty simpleJohn Bergmayer | Oct 27 2007Pretty simple, but pretty lame. They don't look nice, but you can see the title of the To Do at least. Here's how: In Leopard, iCal and Mail share all their to dos. But only some of them will travel with IMAP-- and only those things that travel with IMAP (such as your Notes) can be read on the iPhone. Only "Mail Calendars" will follow your IMAP. These "calendars" are strange beasts. They are visible in iCal, but they don't take events-- only to dos.

Update: 43f Deals & DiscountsMerlin Mann | Nov 15 2006Just some quick reminders and news on a few current discounts and special deals available for 43f readers.
In somewhat related news, the Working and Living Life Smarter Conference announced last month is being rescheduled to a TBD date next year. Registrants have been notified and received refund info, but you should feel free to ask any questions to either the conference's organizer, Kay Ethier (sales at aboveandbeyondlearning daht com), or me.
