I’m currently using Plaxo to keep all my contacts and what minimal use of calendar in sync with everything from my apple macbook to my windows live accounts, and partially my GMail account. The only problem that I have had is keeping my Gmail contacts in sync with my Plaxo account, because it currently supports a uni-directional sync. Meaning that it can only pick up changes on my Gmail contacts, but Plaxo cannot change or add contacts that I have edited from my Address Book.app or even just new people I’ve added to the MSN messenger. Today while browsing the world of Twitter I found some people retweeting about the new service by Google, Google Push. Which in some ways it competes with Plaxo, and Mobile Me services. It keeps your iPhone or other mobile devices synchronized with the various google services. The only downfall of it would be that when you set it up you lose all the contacts that you currently already have stored on your phone and it adds the gmail contacts to it instead.

What can probably be done in order to complete this whole Sync circle of services that I have going is possibly set up Google Sync on my iPhone, then once all my contacts have been cleared is sync my iPhone with my Mac’s Address Book.app and if all goes well I will have my Plaxo contacts in Sync with my iPhone and from my iPhone have my Gmail contacts Synchronized as well and therefore closing that circle that Plaxo can’t do because Gmail Contacts are only Uni-Directional Sync with Plaxo. Holy smokes that was a mouthful. In any case, I have not yet tried this connecting this chain of services yet and will keep posted on it.

NOTE: Please read on to my next post as some things didn’t work out with the uses on this post.

Watching the Hulu commericial from last nights Superbowl game I was reminded of their counter service Joost. So I decided to revisit the site and see what shows are available on their site, and was surprised and glad to see them have some nice classic cartoons. This brings me back to the days where I would look forward to waking up early on saturday mornings to watch a nice long line up of cartoons, and pissing my parents off from waking them up so damn early and putting the T.V on blast.

I was going through the Dir En Grey’s fan site and I noticed that they had another promo video besides the past two that had been released for their new album. Vinushka is a pretty lengthy song, just under 10 minutes long, but the video is a tad bit over the 5 minute mark. I was rather disapointed that it skips a lot of the more upbeat part of the song.
