@hientran hit me up following my original post on The Google Apps Value Proposition. He considered my omission of Google Video and video chat in Google Talk big oversights. So I’m back today to bring you those two pieces to the Google Apps puzzle.

I wasn’t totally surprised by the announcement that Google was made that [...]
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I’ve been doing quite a bit with Google Apps recently. One of them is a non-profit that I’m associated with. The friend I’m working with on that (who works at the NPO) asked me today for some “talking points for selling all these services.”
I shot him [...]
I’m out at the Oregon coast with my wife’s family this weekend, and my wife brought along the Wired that came in the mail on our departure day (not up on their website yet). One article in this issue is about netbooks, and that one article has been a center piece of quite a few [...]
We do very little true data entry into our systems database. Most of what we do is updating the information already in, or adding an entry to the activity log for a server. I hadn’t really given much thought to form validation, until a coworker asked for it. Once again, there is already a jQuery [...]
As I set out on re-writing the interface for my systems database, on thing I knew I wanted to implement was better sorting, and pagination. In v1 I implemented sorting through GET statements, and requerying the database according to the choice of column and direction.
I used this tutorial as the basis for my own “plugin” [...]
When I started in my current job about 18 months ago, I was taking over some responsibilities from a guy who had been gone for six months already. Very quickly I learned that what was documented was done pretty well, but there was quite a bit of stuff that wasn’t documented.
Beyond the lack of documentation [...]
It’s been a while since I talked here about MindMeister (11 months), and about six months since I’ve seriously used it. In that time they have made some pretty sweet changes.
The big announcement in November was their release of MindMeister Offline. Built on Google Gears, MindMeister Offline allows you to take your mindmaps [...]
A short while ago, I was talking with a co-worker about personal productivity (i.e. to-do) systems. There are so many systems out there, and each with their own spin on GTD. He showed me one that is a spin on the TiddlyWiki system: Tiddlyspot.Tiddlyspot is a hosted version of TiddlyWiki, with a twist. Not only can you work [...]
Bren, formerly of Slacker Manager fame, showed me this great little tip today. Playtagger is a feature brought to us by del.icio.us.
Play Tagger is a neat little tool that allows you to easily play mp3 files directly on del.icio.us (see the popular mp3 bookmarks), and you can have it for your website or blog [...]
If you haven’t heard of Pownce, think Twitter but with the ability to do more than just messages. It’s currently in closed beta, and I’ve got six invites for the first six comments. Be sure to check out the local client app, too, written in Adobe AIR.
UPDATE: I just received six more invites, [...]
