My GTD setup in RTM ...

It’s come up a few times: “How do you use RTM?” “What do your lists/Smart Lists look like?” I cov­ered them briefly on RTM’s blog but they’ve changed a bit since then, and I’d like to flesh them out a bit more.1 Obvi­ously my work has meant that I come in con­tact with a lot of users’ meth­ods [...]

Some notes on GTD ...

I started this post on Decem­ber 15, 2008. I’ve mostly kept it intact and sim­ply pub­lished it for the sake of get­ting it out there. It’s not nearly as sprawl­ing as I ini­tially intended; you’re welcome. Remem­ber the Milk is one of my favorite web­sites.1 Keep­ing a list of tasks, keep­ing it sim­ple, and keep­ing it [...]

Google Maps Navigation ...

Google Maps Nav­i­ga­tion: A Free, Ass-Kicking, Turn-by-Turn Mobile App — Google maps navigation — Gizmodo If Google sells this in the App Store for zero dol­lars, those mil­lions of bucks Apple makes off of GPS app sales will likely dis­ap­pear. It’s not for us to worry about until there’s no more GPS com­pe­ti­tion except Google, and we’re depen­dent on their [...]

Visualized: What have I been listening to? ...

A few months ago I posted a graph of my music lis­ten­ing and was asked how I pro­duced that. Andrew God­win runs a really nice ser­vice called Last­Graph that cre­ates these graphs based on one’s Last​.fm pro­file data. Of course, what would this be with­out a new one? (I had to check it out again, of course.) Always an inter­est­ing view.

Virtually Everything ...

All together now!

A musical life ...

This might be the biggest rea­son I love work­ing from home.

Tree Style Tabs ...

Fed­erico Mena Quin­tero — May 2009 Activ­ity Log An inter­est­ing — if not fully inte­grated — exten­sion. Too many options, messes with the default tab order (when clos­ing tabs, etc.) but orga­nized and unclut­tered, even with twice as many tabs open. It’s not too often I’ve seen a Fire­fox exten­sion that really changes the way I (can) operate.

Least frustrating system ...

stevenf​.com: I don’t con­sider myself blindly brand-loyal to the Mac. I know, right? Co-founder of a indie Mac soft­ware company? I find Mac OS X to be the least frus­trat­ing of the cur­rently avail­able options, but the buck cer­tainly doesn’t stop there. We have miles and miles to go in terms of mak­ing com­put­ing bet­ter. I want my socks [...]

A new phone: Terrible timing? ...

So my AT&T con­tract is up this month and I’m con­sid­er­ing all my options for my next PDA. My Black­Berry has been slowly dying on me, and I’ve not been happy with it. Android It’s prob­a­bly no sur­prise that I’m a big fan of Android—it is pro­duced by Google — so ide­ally I’d get an Android device next. How­ever, I’m [...]

Users Don’t Like Change ...

Facebook’s Users Don’t Like Change — ReadWriteWeb Users don’t like change, and as a prod­uct becomes more pop­u­lar, users will grow ever more resis­tant to change. The entire arti­cle (about Facebook’s con­tentious changes to their News Feed) dis­tills to that one sen­tence. It’s not a Face­book thing1, it’s a peo­ple thing. Really, I grow tired of all this resis­tance to change. [...]
