There is work to be done on Labor Day weekend

The good news is many of us have a 3 day weekend starting today, but there is still lots of technology work to be done this weekend. Here is what I will be doing this weekend and of course sharing with the Technology Plumbing community as I do so:

• Installing the Snow Leopard upgrade on my 2 home Macs. I have had it for a few days, but wanted to wait for the weekend to do the upgrade. Not expecting any issues (we are talking Apple after all), but figured it made sense to have some time just in case.
• Applying all of the non-Microsoft updates to my Windows Vista. I have a Windows 7 upgrade on order, but that will be for another weekend.
• Do some research on Netbooks. I see more and more of them in my travels and want to figure out if it is time for me to make the switch to something more user friendly on crowded airplanes. Need to found if they can operate effectively in the many conference rooms that have no Ethernet or power access, given the size and computing power trade-offs. Note to office planners: please design your conference rooms with power outlets near the conference tables.
• Continue my research on web calendars. I recently added my favorite sports teams calendars to my Google calendar. While they work nicely with my personal Google calendar, they won't sync up with my family's Cozi calendar. I know this is mostly a Cozi issue, but want to see if there is a workaround.

I am sure in the course of doing all of this I will stumble onto many other interesting ideas and projects. Some of which will be pursued or at least shared (via Twitter, a blog post or on Facebook), but many others will just be big "time sucks", such is the nature of the web today :)

So enjoy the long weekend and good luck in doing whatever you are doing, technology-wise or not.
