Organizational Smackdown: Calendars

2007-12-21T12:56:51Z

Gee whiz, calendaring is a mess. But maybe it doesn't need to be. The simple fact of the matter is this: I don't use calendars very often. I mostly use them for events I know are coming but are a week to a month (or more) down the road. And if I...

Organizational Smackdown: Quick Reminders

2007-12-20T12:49:38Z

Something essential to getting organized, for me, is the quick reminder. It's an email, IM, or text message that comes at a particular time. Given my not-so-perfect memory this has been an absolute godsend to have around with Backpack. I've used B...

Organizational Smackdown: RSS

2007-12-20T12:38:17Z

Welcome to the first in a series of Organizational Smackdowns. As you know, the sole content of this blog for a week or so (when there is content) has been devoted to organizational tools. I've felt that I have too many things in too many places...

Follow-Up: Organization/Junk Drawer Software

2007-12-12T17:09:40Z

Not long ago I posted about my unorganized software dilemma. I needed "junk drawer" and/or organization software at both home and work. I wanted to share my progress thus far. At work, OmniFocus is absolutely the way to go for me. I was able to ...

Click Click Click Click

2007-12-06T16:07:36Z

I was sitting at the laundromat last night, reading a book, when I heard a familiar song over one of the TVs. A nice little acoustic guitar intro... and yeah I recognized it almost right away: Bishop Allen's "Click Click Click Click". It was on ...

Completely Silent

2007-12-02T13:47:01Z

Yesterday morning Wally needed to go outside at 5am. No biggie. I got out of bed slowly, opened his crate, put on my jacket and hat, and collared him up. As I closed the front door I noticed that it was completely silent outside. This doesn't ha...

Sticky Yojimbo SOHO Notes Focus

2007-11-26T01:08:57Z

I know I've talked about this before but now I'm ready to do something about it: I have too many notes and things in too many places. In my head, in Mail, in Stickies, in my Documents folder, in Backpack... too much stuff in too many places. I'd f...

Opinions wanted on K100D, D40

2007-11-04T16:03:56Z

I've got the research for My First DSLR down to two contenders: the Nikon D40, and the Pentax K100D. I'd like to hear some opinions from people who have either one of these bodies (and, probably, the kit lens as well.) I've read quite a bit alread...

I felt lucky.

2007-08-21T02:52:12Z

Not very long ago Heather Champ started the I'm Feeling Lucky group, wherein she distributed 100 rolls of expired Chinese film for free. I felt really sad to miss the boat on the first 100 but when a second batch of 50 made it I signed up instant...
