How about a Trackberry? [Genuine Curiosity]
A while back I wrote about SameCell as a way to find out when you’re near your friends, and SameCell’s addition of a FaceBook app. The folks at SameCell have been steadily improving their service (I use it all the time and I like it) and have recently added a new twist. You [...]
Eliminate procrastination - the high tech way [Genuine Curiosity]
The folks at Fruitful Time have launched an interesting product called Fruitful Time TaskManager Electro, and it promises to eliminate procrastination. Yes, you heard me - it eliminates procrastination.
The product functionality is very intriguing - as Fruitful Time declares, "Trying to use programs which hinder your productivity is automatically detected and blocked through an innovative [...]
Marking up the internet [Genuine Curiosity]
A while back, I wrote about a tool called “ClipMarks” that I was using to share snippets of web pages with other people. I really like it.
However, I have now found a tool I like better for this, and I have converted to i-Lighter. I’d looked at it before and didn’t like it, [...]
A less geeky walk with thee [Genuine Curiosity]
After reading an article from the Nov. 21 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, I wanted to get a pedometer that I could use every day. You see, the study says that people who use a pedometer to track their daily steps tend to increase their step count by about 2400 [...]
Old school awesome [Genuine Curiosity]
Ok, so my birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I know what I’m going to start hinting at - this awesome Bluetooth accessory for my mobile phone!
Yep - that’s a Bluetooth handset for use with a mobile phone, courtesy of Thinkgeek. I would love to walk around talking on that thing!
What? You [...]
Daily Watch Lists [Genuine Curiosity]
For those of us immersed or enmeshed in the David Allen “Getting Things Done” (GTD) methodology, lists take on a big part of our daily lives. In a sane day, I go to my lists, consider my options, and pick the “next action” I want to work on based on available time, energy level, [...]
A few for Friday [Genuine Curiosity]
After a crazy week, I have a few assorted tidbits to share with you:
The new edition of Beyond Bullet Points just plain rocks.
Last week, I posted an item about Cliff Atkinson’s book, Beyond Bullet Points, over on Joyful Jubilant Learning - this is a book that totally changed how I do presentations, and I have [...]
You’ll flip… [Genuine Curiosity]
Today, I was watching a software demo and saw a cool thing. The guy was demonstrating how various people would interact with his company’s software, and he brought up a 3D cube on the screen with a different user’s desktop and browser on each side of the cube! It was awesome, so I asked him [...]
What’s gonna work? (Teamwork!) [Genuine Curiosity]
One of my daughters watches a show called “WonderPets.” She loves it - and I like it a lot, too. One thing I like is a consistent theme: Teamwork helps you solve problems (there is even a catchy song about Teamwork - see link at end of this post) that I can’t get out of [...]
Fresh Gear: How about a Monster power up? [Genuine Curiosity]
When you’re traveling with a notebook computer or other electronic essentials, a power outlet is like an oasis in the dessert (and you can usually spot them by looking for clusters of tethered travelers huddled nearby, drinking up the precious current). When you’re low on juice, it can be frustrating when you’re in an airport [...]
