Thanks MediaPost, for announcing my promotion from lowly Engineering Manager to Yahoo! Executive Management! I’m sure my boss will be by my cube any minute now to hand me the keys to the executive washroom. But calling Jeremy a Marketer – isn’t that considered libel for an engineer?

Since all the Verizon folks are finally getting Treo 650s, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about must have accessories and apps for your Treo. Here’s what I think you should go run out and buy (or download) as soon as you get yours, in descending order of importance: Silicone Case – $20 This …
