Circle Six Happenings
I’m still here. Granted, my posting rate will be slower now that I’m blogging for TUAW, but I’m hoping I never stop running out of things to write about here. The focus of the blog may shift a little as time goes on, but it will still be a mac-centric geek blog. You wouldn’t accept anything less, right? I’ve been holding off on a few topics until I find my niche in my new endeavor, at which point I’ll have a better feel for what goes where. And no, MoodBlast isn’t dead either. Far from it. Pownce is coming up soon, and I have some massive interface changes in mind. It’s going to be a fun year!

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.

Peter Boysen: Galleria
posted in
Circle Six Happenings
Our resident photographer at Circle Six, Peter Boysen, has been kind enough to post a few photos to the blog gallery to liven things up a bit from my usual screenshots and snapshots. These photos were shot in our studio and represent a phase in Peter’s life I would like to dub the “Red Velour Thing With Seatbelts Period”. It’s his current obsession, and he’s been piling all manner of subjects on it, mostly human. So, without futher ado, I present Peter Boysen’s Galleria. There’s a wide sampling of Peter’s excellent work available at his blog. -

Wireless Surprise
posted in
General
I’m sitting in a crappy restaurant here in Winona, being totally surprised to find a 5 bar wireless connection for my laptop. Of course, the router has the default linksys name and, you guessed it, admin password. So I’m not terribly excited to be on this network, but also not terribly concerned that anyone else knows about it. Anyway…

MoodBlast 2.0 on the Horizon
posted in
General
For anyone keeping track, there’s a super-cool new version of MoodBlast on the horizon. A revamped interface and a slew of new features (many from user requests). It’s basically a whole new program, with all of the original functionality. Here’s just a taste… -

Patti

Random Thoughts
On a personal note, I went to see Patti Smith last night. She’s one of my few heroes and my new reason for not being afraid to face getting older. 61 years old and as unruly a rocker as ever. Well, a little tamed down, but no more so than the 51 year old Iggy Pop I saw a few years back. But it made me realize that I can continue doing what I’m doing and just get better at it, that I can be twice as old as I am now and be twice as good. That’s something to look forward to, rather than the idea of just burning out and becoming a shell of your youth. I’m a bit of a cynic… -

Four Days, One Measly Update
posted in
Circle Six Happenings, General
Somehow, four days have crept by in blog time. Which is approximately four days in Earth time, as well. Circle Six has been overflowing with projects and we’re really excited to be completely swamped. We’re recovering from a recent three-day photo shoot for St. Croix, and all of the post-processing that goes with it has our photographer, Peter, pretty busy. He posted one of the more interesting shots on his blog…
