How do you sync MacBook Pro - iPhone via iCloud

How do you sync a MacBook Pro with an iPhone via iCloud? I mean what is the physical process? I've had Lion installed since it came out. I have IOS5 on my iPhone 3GS. I've configured iCloud in both. I want to sync my Calendars/Reminders and Notes but I don't see anything yet. What do I need to do? Are the notes from the iPhone suppose to appear in the Mac's Mail notes?

I understand the sync only happens once per day.

You can manually initiate syncing via iTunes or in Settings on your iPad, assuming both are running and connected via wifi LAN.

There is some rather loose talk here about syncing. It has become a rather vague term and it's important to specify what sort of syncing we're talking about.
Connecting an Apple mobile device via USB allows you to "sync" with any Mac or PC that will run the appropriate version of iTunes. It also gives you some control over what gets moved there from iTunes. Each device may have unique settings, and depending on how you set it up, it may or may not sync contacts, calendars and tasks. So you might or might not wind up with the same set of contacts on say your iPad, iPhone and Mac. With iOS 5 it's taken a bit further: now you don't need the USB cable, you can sync thusly over your LAN (assuming wifi, of course).
MobileMe let's you sync from the cloud. It allowed you to adjust some parameters for each Mac or i-device, and could be automatic or manual. Contacts, calendars and tasks were available online as well, unlike the syncing already mentioned. It also allowed pushing, which is a special type of syncing: any time you changed a contact that change is pushed to MoibleMe and any other synced device. So that it was easier to keep the same info on several devices in that it was "synced" in real time.
iCloud also does syncing/pushing, but takes it further. Once activated, it pushes not only changes in calendars, contacts and the like, but also photos (photo stream), apps and whatnot. The goal is to keep all your devices synced all the time. So your backups, music, documents (from certain applications) etc are treated like your contacts in the MobileMe scheme.
So it's important to distinguish plain old syncing, which at the lowest level is just copying from your computer to a device, to more intelligent syncing (copying and making sure all the copies on the selected devices are the same), all the way to pushing, which is sort of aggressive real time syncing.
For me, iCloud is not so hot. It doesn't have the controls I'd like to customize my syncing, and I don't want to do it in real time. If I take a photo, I do NOT want it to instantly go other places, I want to decide where to send it. I, by necessity, have to mix work and home stuff on my devices, yet iCloud seems to assume I'm one of the folks who has no private life. You can't even delete a photo from Photo Stream without deleting all of them and shutting them off…I'm already wondering when I'll see that feature catch someone in an Anthony Weiner moment.

Anthony,
Hmmmmm. Really? Maybe I will wait for 10.6.9 then. All I want is to keep my calendars the same between the MacBook and iPad.
When is 10.6.9 to be released?

Why not just use Google?
I abandoned MobileMe long ago, and Google has been completely trouble free for both work and home calendars.

MPB SSD or HDD

I have the 13" 2011 MacBook Pro. I have the 320GB Apple HDD and I also just bought a Samsung 128GB SSD. I love the speed of the SSD but I love the space on my HDD and ideas of how to go about going from 200GB of data down to close to just 100GB

The usual method is to delete it :)
Are you putting it in an Optibay? If you did that you'd have the best of both worlds. I would think that these days the optical drive is not so necessary.
If not, just buy a USB powered enclosure for the drive and use it as an external. Or do cloud storage.
Or delete what you don't immediately need.
Hard to give much advice without more specifics.
