The Holy Grail of Synchronization

The Holy Grail of Synchronization: combining Microsoft Outlook, Google
Calendar, Gmail, iPod, and mobile phone

The link above is a pretty comprehensive guide if you are a big Google Calendar
user and want to sync GCal to your phone without air time charges
(that was my main purpose anyway...you can also the sync the other
stuff they mention, but I didn't).

Warning: I did accidentally delete all my entries in GCal the first
time I tried to read the instructions carefully if you attempt it.
When I first tried it out I was using an older version of the software
they recommend, but a newer version has come out and it works fine for
me now. I've even sync'd up my work calendar to my phone which is
quite useful.

I was using this for a while...but the pop-ups on Funtambol (or whatever you call the scheduleworld-outlook sync tool it)...got really annoying. Almost made me want to buy the program...but I uninstalled it instead.

Nevertheless, nice tutorial. But it seems dumb that there's no direct outlook/gcal sync...come on google what are you waiting for!

Design + Nature: ARC's International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition

A video on a design competition to build the best wildlife crossing for a highway in Colorado. It's 12 min long but definitely worth a look. This can definitely apply to many parts of the world (including large parts of Canada). I especially like the multi-disciplinary nature of how the different design teams came up with a potential solution. Ecologists, engineers and landscape architects (just to name a few), came together to propose a design. More of the world's problems need this type of design collaboration.
