You either love or hate GTD (Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity). Although the Allen-ite way of productivity seems to have lost it’s best-seller momentum, it’s still a decent way to get things accomplished. So I decided a re-read was in order. I hadn’t read this book in a few years, so it [...]

Because you can only listening to Monster Mash so many times… I made a Halloween Mix. Tips on making a Halloween iMix from your current iTunes library: Search for words like: death, dead, dark, blood, evil, bone, wicked, hell or pretty much any word that conjures up scary thoughts. Think of spooky sounding songs that [...]

It’s good to know that Week 5 is the typical week to fall off the “Apartment Therapy Cure” wagon. Maxwell (Apartment Therapy author) posted that we should focus on what we’ve accomplished so far in the cure to try and motivate ourselves (and each other). So here’s what I have –and haven’t– done. DONE: Bones: [...]

This Apartment Therapy project has just turned into an excuse to go shopping…. Things to Buy: Ribba Frames from IKEA for vintage travel poster calendar art that I already have (3 for living room & 1 for kitchen). Couch pillows and a throw for living room: look at World Market, IKEA ? Candles: 1 for [...]

The Cheap Eats 2007 (Willamette Week) guide doesn’t have a map, and I really wanted to see them all on the same map. So I decided to try out the Google Maps API, but first I needed to convert all the addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates. I ended up finding this website, BatchGeoCode.com, that [...]

This will be an on-going “project,” but I finally found the updated list for 2007 (from Willamette Week). I’ve crossed out the few I’ve been to. After looking at this list I feel like I go to the same few restaurants over and over again… which is true. :) And now for something completely different! [...]

I’ve only seen 23 from the Ebert List, so 79 more for that list. :( I guess I need to see about 1 per week… for the next 2.74 years! :) Movies I Haven’t Seen on Ebert’s “102 Movies You Must See” List: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Stanley Kubrick 8 1/2 (1963) Federico Fellini [...]

It’s a start! I imported this list into a Remember The Milk task list. I’ve seen 68 of the Top 1oo Grossing Films list, (I’m using the “Adjusted for Inflation” list), so only 32 more to go! Top 100 Grossing Films That I Haven’t Seen: 04 E.T. 1982 08 Doctor Zhivago 1965 10 Snow White [...]

I love this concept of the Ultimate To-Do List. It’s easier to track and accomplish than New Year’s Resolutions, but not as open-ended and vague as “43 Things.” So I’ve decided to try it out…. The 101 Things in 1001 Days Project (from Triplux) The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 [...]

As a die-hard fan of list making, tasks, and GTD – Getting Things Done – I’m always trying out new programs, hoping to find the best of all worlds. I even went back to using a moleskine journal/datebook in ’04, but could never seem to keep it updated since I sit in front of a [...]
