Bits & pieces

What's that traffic light on the new iTunes window? And, it's nice with that new icon but couldn't they have rethought the entire thing? iTunes feels like an unfitting name for something that does so many different things (you don't go to the "Music Store" to buy a book, do you?)

Pictos, the Icon Font

The normal practice among web developers for icons have always been to embed them in images and use CSS to display. We do this so much, we hardly think about it at all any more. Pictos, however, is a clever way of taking a step away from this. Instead of using images, you embed the Pictos font and use that instead.

Simplenote gets an update

My favorite note taking app, Simplenote, has just been updated — or perhaps upgraded is a better word. Along with a new more visually appealing graphical reform, we're seeing tons of new features and updates to the service itself.

Camera Phone Lenses

Fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses available for use with camera phones.

Simple to-do list

December 11th, 2009

I have a complex relationship to organizing my life and all the to-do items that inevitably follow. The problem, I think, is that I haven’t yet found the “ultimate” To-Do interface to work with. And if it isn’t perfect, I just end up not using it. Currently I have notes spread out all over the place – with some stuff written down on my Sony Ericsson’s Notes application, random text documents, scribbled notes in the Dashboard, Gmail’s To-Do and also saved drafts in Gmail.

I need to gather these under one umbrella. I signed up for TeuxDeux and thought I’d give it a go. There’s always the risk of servers going down, or something similar, rendering you unable to access your account. But I guess that comes with the territory.

I guess I should just get myself an iPhone and I would be pretty much sorted with the mobility as well.

Now that you do have an iPhone it must become much easier with Internet in your pocket. I am using an online task management service for over a year now, and am very happy with it. The name is Remember the milk. It’s strength is that it can be either very simple or pretty advanced depending on your needs. Wanna try? ;)
