I've done a bunch of checking and the big ones are Airmail and Postbox.

Airmail doesn't have rules yet, and I've been playing with Postbox and really don't like the interface and the rules need to be setup for each account, so it would make them even more convoluted.

Thunderbird is another option but it is no longer under active development, and then there is Outlook, but from what I've been reading that causes havoc will all sorts of other things.

ND, not sure if there is a Maverick version. Have you tried Thunderbird? It's the email client from Mozilla (Firefox folks).

eta: ha. Crosspost fun.

eta: Never mind, I made the call myself

I just bought a Pebble! Hooray for birthday money!

I think I may turn off email notifications, unless there's a way to filter by Gmail Priority Inbox settings. The SMS and phone call notification features are way cool. I haven't started to explore what else it can do.

Does anyone *cough*Amy*cough* know if a Wordpress blog can be set up to be entirely private--only registered members can see anything.

Gud, yes -- on WordPress.com, it's in your settings. If you host your own, I like this plugin: [link]

Thanks. I didn't see anything on my self-hosted blog, but WordPress.com would work fine for the new private blog.

ita, for a new handwriting keyboard try Myscript Stylus Beta. It has a good interface at least. Doesn't seem quite as accurate out of the box as the built in but it is a fast learner. You can scroll back to previous words directly on the keyboard to do corrections. Pretty cool idea.

Ooh, thanks Gris. Will have a look.

I wonder if there was a particular hurdle why it took so long for another to come to market.

I am writing this post with Myscript.Printed this sentence and the last one.Now trying my terrible cursive with pretty decent results. Definitely better in landscape on a phone.
