I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately (in fact, I’m on the road now) and it’s tough to feel connected. Here are a few of the things I do:
Twitter, which is highly addictive. While I travel I sometimes turn on notifications on my cell phone so I can keep up with what folks are doing while away from my computer.
Blackberry, which is a new addition to my arsenal, and lets me send text messages and emails to folks. I don’t receive emails on it because it would cause an overload, and the price would skyrocket (I get upwards of 150 emails a day).
Remember the Milk, which Matt Mayes just turned me on to. It’s a great way to make and keep to-do lists, and I use their little program MilkSync to sync it up to my Blackberry.
GoToMyPC, which lets me access my desktop computer at my home office whenever I want. That way I can peek at my outlook, send and receive emails, find files I need, etc. Love it!
CNN Headline News. Nuff said.

So, how do you stay connected? Tell us!

Is there a GoToMyPC-type of app for the Mac?

I’m on a Mac, so I use my dot mac account to access my contacts, as well as to store files that I need to access when I’m away from my main computer.

Thanks, Lidia. Why didn’t I think of that. I’ve just been uploading files I’m working on.
