Trying to Get “Getting Things Done” Done

Recently while I was perusing 43 Folders, I came across mention of an application called iGTD. I went ahead and downloaded the (donationware) app, and started messing around. So far, I’m liking it and it’s proven to be pretty useful as far as helping me manage my tasks. I was intrigued by the Quicksilver integration,

A Roomba With a View

A few weeks back, I was talking with some coworkers over lunch about the Roomba. For some reason, I was half-contemplating getting one… and Eddie mentioned wanting to purchase a Scooba. Lo and behold, it turned out that Katie actually owned a Roomba (she won it at a Q101 holiday party, a year or so

A Game of Cat and Your Mouse

A fairly straight-forward (albeit frustrating) game, Chat Noir is a game where you are trying to keep a cat from leaving the screen. It took me a few tries, and I found myself really hating this cat after about 5 minutes. [via]

Dave Gets a Cellphone!

For the longest time, Dave and I were the Luddite holdouts who refused cellphones. Neither one of us were on the phone all that often, and we didn’t see the point of always being “reachable.” Yeah, yeah, you can always turn it off. All that jazz. But I feel we both were of the mind

After Challenging Jennifer Lee to a Fight (by Aimee Nezhukumatathil)

The poem is entitled After Challenging Jennifer Lee to a Fight; you can listen to the reading (RealAudio), and read the poem as well. Note:

My Roommate is Such a Dick!

This, my friends, is passive-aggressiveness at its finest. And some awful, awful stories to boot. If there was ever a sister site to hotchickswithdouchebags.com, this is it: My Roommate is Such a Dick! [via]

Turn That TENORI-ON!

Yamaha’s TENORI-ON musical interface. I’m not sure I fully grok exactly what’s going on with this thing, but it’s absolutely mesmerizing to look at. I would love to get my hands on one, just to play around with it for a few hours. [via]

Cooking with Spaghetti Squash

Last weekend, Liz and I happened to be watching TV on a Saturday and saw an episode of Everyday Food. I’ve seen this show before, and was a fan of it (the recipes are all pretty straightforward and easy, and they tend to walk through many of the steps with beginners in mind). The focus

Pretend and Play Office

Spotted this while going through the Target toy aisles. And as though the concept wasn’t bad enough, the thing costs $32.95. Yeesh.

Drinks and Pool at Rose’s

Went out tonight with Liz to meet Jake and his girlfriend Jessie over at Rose’s. It’s been a long while since I’ve been here, and this was only my second visit to the bar. At first, I was a bit uncomfortable (I don’t know why, new places just tend to do that to me). And

Star Wars Trumpet Solo (and Interpretive Dance)

Slow day for me, so I’m including this because it’s making the rounds. That, and it’s just painful to watch, as I’m cringing through pretty much every single moment.
