Battery Park Spin Jam Saturday March 20, 3pm-5pm

It's time for our second annual, "Stop Hibernating and Play, Meetup and Spin Jam" in Battery Park.

Last year was a blast with a dozen people. Let's double that!

Bring poi, staves, hoops, wands, juggling balls and any other silliness that appeals to you.

Saturday, March 3pm

3PM SHARP!

(This means you, Mitch! Don't show up at 6pm. We'll be gone.)

And note, Crystal, it's the very north of Battery Park, the park, not Battery Park City, the ugly buildings.

Take the 1,2,3,A,C to Chambers or the 4,5,6,R,W to City Hall.

Walk straight West on Chambers Street until you get to the water.

Do not walk south into the buildings or toward ground zero.

Here's a map. http://bit.ly/battery_poi

We'll go until 5pm or whenever people are tired and then head off for Mexican food and Margarharittas. Woo hoo!

Come Play With Me!

Last year's spring spin jam! Sexay!

What's for lunch?

Mmmmmmm ... my favorite ... soggy deli sack with a hole in the bottom.
Hope you enjoyed my soup and sandwich, random homeless person on Sixth
Avenue.

1Password Pro Free for iPhone This Week Only

In addition to becoming the #1 shill for Dropbox, I've recently become a big fan of 1Password. It remembers your passwords so you don't have to. It is for Mac and iPhone only. If you have both a Mac and an iPhone, 1Password Pro for iPhone will sync with the Mac version.

The Mac version is $40. The iPhone version of 1Password Pro is usually $7 but is totally free until December 1st. Get it now. Be sure to get the Pro version and not the regular version if you want syncing.

You were just thinking, "Hooray! At least he finally shut up about Dropbox," weren't you?

Ha!

1Password has beautiful synchronicity with Dropbox. If you store your 1Password settings file inside your Dropbox, you can sync up all your login passwords between all your Macs and your iPhone. Never again will you be stuck saying, "Damn! I can't log in because my password isn't saved on this computer and I can't remember it."

Do you have to lose everything before you make backups?

Another friend's laptop failed this week. Dead. Gone. Maybe she'll get her data back. Maybe she won't.

Have I mentioned that data recovery usually costs $1000-$2000 or more? And that's only if it works, which it often doesn't.

Lucky for her I'd badgered her into getting a free Dropbox. But in a spectacularly stupid backup failure, she did not put her documents into the Dropbox. She was literally one drag and drop away from being protected three days before her computer just up and died without warning.

Why didn't she put her documents into the Dropbox? "I was gonna do it on the weekend."

Then she said to me, "I was afraid to tell you I hadn't made backups because I knew you'd be mad at me."

No. No. No. No. NO! NO! NO! NO!

The reason to make backups is not to avoid my ire. The reason to make backups is because your don't want to lose all your stuff.

I find it utterly pathetic that I care more about the data on my friends', family's and clients' computers than you all seem to.

It all boils down to this ... are you one of those people who has to lose absolutely everything before you learn your lesson and start making backups? If so, please continue to ignore me. If you would like to be spared that pain, get a Dropbox.

I Just Deleted All Your Files!

Stop and think about it for a minute. How would you feel if you lost all your files ... your photos ... your thesis ... that script you've slaved over for years ... your novel.

If you I'm gonna let you pass on this Dropbox thing you've got another thing coming. I really mean it. I am shoving this down the throat and up the ass of everyone I know.

You, yes YOU need a Dropbox. For 15 years I have been designing backup systems and they've always been cumbersome and high maintenance, until this service. Dropbox finally got it right.

You have no excuse. It's free. It's effortless. EFFORTLESS, do you hear me? It's encrypted. It's secure. You set it up, you put your stuff in it, and you never, ever have to think about backups again.

Not only does it backup your stuff automatically and for free, but there are all sorts of neat tricks you can do with your Dropbox.

Here are 15 Advanced Dropbox Tricks.

One of the niftiest tricks is Dropbox for iPhone. You can access all your files from your phone. Not only can you view them, you can email them. So if someone asks for a file, tap it on your iPhone and send it to them. It's just that easy.

Even if you don't have an iPhone, you can still get to your Dropbox files anytime (at work, for example) by logging into the Dropbox web site.

Dropbox saved my ass three times the very first week I installed it. Get your Dropbox now.

Free, Automatic, Effortless, Internet Backups ... Now You Have No Excuse

You know how I'm always bitching at you to make backups?

Just this week another friend lost another research paper she'd worked on for hundreds of hours. She screamed and railed against the support reps from the manufacturer of her laptop.

No, sweetheart. No. You're lovely, but no. It's not their fault. It's yours.

I don't know what else I have to do to get this through to all of you. You, yes, you, the person reading this right now, you, YOUR HARD DRIVE IS 100% GUARANTEED TO FAIL. It is an absolute certainty. Not maybe. It will. The only question is when.

Hard drives are like the tires on your car. Sometimes they wear out slowly. And sometimes they fail in the most spectacular ways possible.

There is now a free service I am recommending to all my friends, Dropbox. Get it now. No really. Now. RIGHT FREAKING NOW. Not tomorrow. Not when you get around to it. Not when you're done with your project. STOP READING THIS RIGHT NOW AND GET A DROPBOX ACCOUNT. I'm telling you. I'm ordering you. I'm begging you.

OK. Do you have it yet?

Good.

Here's how you use it.

Install it on every computer you own and also your iPhone.

It puts a folder on your computer called "Dropbox". This folder is magic. It automatically syncs between all your systems. Any document you put in your Dropbox will also appear in all your other Dropboxes. From now on, instead of keeping your documents in your "Documents" or your "My Documents" folder, you'll keep them in your Dropbox. Your Dropbox will become your new Documents folder.

AND!

Everything you put in your Dropbox is magically, automatically backup up to the Internet. Dropbox even let's you retrieve older copies of documents you've lost.

Even if you make backups at home (and you should) if your whole house burns down you'll lose your laptop and your backups with it. Dropbox protects you against this.

I have not believed this strongly in a service in quite sometime. Everyone should use it. EVERYONE.

Did you read all of this and not go get a Dropbox account? Then you're an idiot.

Really, please. Do it.
