  • 12.20.07 MoodBlast 3.0 posted in Geekery

    It’s here. The ultra-fast, slimmed down, sexier MoodBlast. And it’s still donationware. It’s a long story, but if you want to pretend that there’s a 21 day time limit and some crippled features that will be enabled when you send me money, that’s fine. The (almost complete) changelog is below. You can download the new version using your auto-update or head to the download page.

  • 12.16.07 Things Alpha posted in General

    I got the invitation to the alpha of Things from Cultured Code today. While some aspects of task organization are confusing at first, I’m immediately appreciating the flexibility of the system. I’m also appreciating the fact that it seems to be built around the way I actually organize my tasks, allowing for a Next Action view that can be manually converted into a “Today” view. Built in support for “Someday” and “Postponed” make for instant compatibility with the systems I had previously created manually in other programs. The usefulness of the tagging system in my own workflow will be determined as I play with it further. I’m reluctant to make a complete switch, first because it’s alpha, second because at this point there’s no synch or import feature that I’m aware of. Too much trouble and not a wide enough safety net. I am, however, really psyched to watch this one develop.

  • 12.12.07 On Mindmeister, XMIND and Mind Mapping posted in Design, Geekery

    It’s my personal opinion that mind mapping doesn’t get enough attention. Of course, I spend a lot of time in the “real world” blabbing on about mind mapping. Evangelizing, even. So I’m going to expound (again) on thoughts and tools for few bytes…

  • 12.12.07 A Few Quick Finds posted in Design, Geekery

    The “market” for Quick Look plugins is heating up, and there are some really handy additions coming out. These are not hot off the press, I held on to them for a little too long, but they bear mentioning nonetheless…

  • 12.08.07 C6 Top Mac Apps 2007: Hardware Break posted in Geekery

    Well, we’ve gone through about half the software we want to mention. I’m going to take a little break and talk about my favorite (Mac compatible) hardware purchases this year. I didn’t get an iPhone. I live in what can only be referred to as a cellularly-challenged part of Minnesota. I can drive half an hour and buy an iPhone, but if I take it home with me it magically becomes an iPod Touch. Cool trick, but expensive. So, once my 5th Gen iPod gets good and scratched up I’ll just get a Touch… but for now, there are better ways to blow what money I have:
