Ein Rechner für zwischendurch [ToolBlog]
Ich habe zwar noch das Rechnen mir Papier und Bleistift gelernt und selbst der Umgang mit dem Rechenschieber gehörte für mich noch zum Lehrstoff in der Unterstufe. Dennoch zähle ich mich natürlich mittlerweile zur Taschenrechnergeneration, die archaischen Hilfsmittel sind völlig in Vergessenheit geraten.
Im Netz gibt es einen hervorragenden Rechner, mit dem Sie alles Mögliche anstellen [...]
Quick Note-taking Tip [Getting Things Done]

Clean Edges [Lifemuncher]
Wow, major “blinding flash of the obvious” about GTD today. I’ve fallen off the stress-free productivity wagon a bit lately and decided to spend some time getting back on.
