Merry Christmas to you all!

Now is the time to use your smartphone or PDA's snazzy features, but don't check out your favorite blogs or your webmail when friends and family are all around you, sharing. Take pictures and share them with others. Share some music by plugging in your device into a pair of speakers. Sing to your heart's content. If you're even planning a family trip, just plug-in a GPS receiver and you're all set.

The point is, you have all the time in the world, so ask this question: how can I use my gadget to make this day better? For me and whoever I'm with? The last thing you should be doing right now is typing out that report, or worse, taking work-related calls and texts.

So do yourself a favor: close the browser, and stop surfing the web. There's no need to know what's up in the mobile and handheld world. I promise I'll be back tomorrow. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Oh, and before you accuse me of being a hypocrite for working on Christmas day, I wrote this post last week and scheduled it to appear today. Ain't technology great?
