I have a Samsung Droid Charge. I really like it, but recently I have been getting ads to pop up in my notification area at the top. It will have a star icon and have a random ad that points to a web page. I did a google search and, not surprisingly, read that this is usually due to adware bundled with an app. One of the pieces of adware behind these ads is AirPush. But here is the cool thing: There is an app called AirPush Detector. You can install and run this app and it will give you a list of all the apps on your phone that are bundled with AirPush, and a shortcut to uninstall it. Mine happened to be a silly sound effect app which I don't care about anyway so I promptly removed it.
If you are getting these annoying ad notifications, give AirPush a try.

CCNA - Cisco Certified Network Associate Study
I'm currently studying for the CCNA exam. I went over this material 5 or so years ago in school but never scheduled the exam. I'm now reading CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammle published by Sybex. I'm about halfway through the book and so far I really like his writing style; Todd makes sure to keep it fun and not dry.
The current topic I'm reading in the book is routing protocols. There are so many details to retain about routing protocols, it is a little daunting. But I'm sure with reading through, probably multiple times, and going over the review questions, I won't have too much of an issue.
