![]() ![]() I’m using iTunes right now, but the drawback is that I can only sync at one place, either home OR work, but not both. I haven’t started using it for podcasting yet, but when I get the new laptop, that’s definitely my next step. My RSS articles are synced between home and work, and I can access ’em on the road via the web as well. I’m really looking forward to picking up a Cingular 8125, but I’m a little bummed out that I’ll lose some of the slick SMS integration of FMA.Īttensa – RSS newsreader for Outlook that can sync with their online service.

In no particular order:įlock – awesome web browser based on Firefox, but integrates additional functionality like blog editing, mapping, Flickr uploading, and more. I’m not including the Microsoft stuff (Office, SQL Server, Visual SourceSafe, etc) that every SQL Server DBA needs, but just the other stuff that I can’t imagine working without. I figured I’d make a list of the programs I typically install when I first get a new machine. As someone who sometimes would rather not remember her dreams, that’s fine with me.The Kanbay-Adjoined merger just got finalized, and the IT staff is asking us to prep our laptops for replacements. Did it give me “epic dreamtime adventures,” as Homestead’s website promises? Not really. on a Monday, I felt a little dizzy-this is definitely better for nighttime. A note that this tea used to be called Sweet Dreams, but now goes by Dream Time. You can drink it more concentrated this way, which means less liquid before going to bed-if you’re working hard to go to sleep, you might as well try to stay asleep. To bring out the floral notes, cold-steep the tea before you leave for work in the morning and then strain it to reheat before bed. After steeping the suggested 10–30 minutes, the tea still had only a hint of rose-chamomile flavor. Lots of dried pieces of actual nature, without the flavor of sticks, mud, and Off! Bug spray. I used to make potions like this when we camped in the Michigan woods in my childhood, and this was the tea I was trying to make. What a nice touch! This is a very unique tea, with mugwort and hops, and I love anything that gives me Macbeth witch vibes. Packaged in an open-shelf-friendly octagonal jar, there was a big, green dried hop ( the stuff you make beer with) on the top of the tea when I twisted off the lid. ![]() $26 at Rebecca's Homestead Apothecary Dream Time You could easily drink it during the day after a rough meeting or before that flower-essence therapist appointment. Snooze factor: It won’t knock you out right away, but it will give you a calm, relaxed energy. As I drank it, I felt like I wanted something more, but maybe I’m just not appreciative of nuance. Verdict: If you’re not a fan of chamomile/licorice/all those usual medicine flavors in most sleep-aid bevs, this is your cup of tea. When steeped, this made a darker, gray tea that smelled like oatmeal and tasted very mellow, with hints of.hay? That was the most concrete thing I could put my finger on. It’s a lemon balm tea with oatstraw, lavender, and skullcap, which came highly recommended from a flower-essence therapist friend of mine. This was my first time as a human ever to consume catnip, which I knew had great reviews from my cat, Roger, but apparently is also a muscle-relaxing nerve-chiller. $4 at Target Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary Bedtime Blend
