New Ken Burns Documentary - Preview in Seattle 9/15

Ken Burns is hosting a night at the Paramount in Seattle tommorrow to preview his new WWII documentary with apparently most (if not all) previously unseen footage. Being a WWII-o-phile, i'm dying to go.

Now I just need to figure out a way for the wife to go along with it... she's not so much with the WWII. "Hey hun, how about we get a babysitter and see a movie? There is one that looks good. What's that you say? Is it funny? Ummm.. Yea. I think ...Queen Latifah is in it."

Yahoo! Go on Windows Mobile 5 Unfortunately Sucks Balls.

As a pretty avid user of Y! services, i was excited to see them rollout Yahoo! Go for Windows Mobile 5 (Smartphone no less). However...

1. The .exe installer horked. I had to use the .CAB install manually. No biggie
2. The app hijacked my current work IMAP inbox. I could no longer read my work mail. I could see my work messages but could not open any. balls.
3. The Yahoo! Mail sub-app was in a continual state of "Synchronizing". This lasted for days. This is a bummer as was one of the main reasons I wanted to use the app.
4. The majority of the sub-apps were links to the various WAP services which I already have bookmarked. whatever.
5. I uninstalled the thing and now get this periodic message that it can't find "YUpdater.exe".

I guess it still wants to synchronize. It's determined, I'll give it that :)
