Things for iPhone (Time Management)

I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and buy Things, an application on the iPhone for task management (Getting Things Done style). I’ve only started using it this morning, but I can already see the benefit of getting things out of my head and into my inbox for categorization. I’ll write more on whether I actually stick with it and find it effective later on.

All I can say is, I hope so. I’m not doing to well these days on remembering the volume of things I need to accomplish - and paper and notebooks just don’t do it for me.

  • Why Grainger is Going Blue - "You have to assume that when a Fortune 500 company like Grainger makes a big deal about changing a font color on their website, there is a very good reason behind it. This seemingly insignificant change can probably represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra sales."
  • Landmark Case Upholds Open Source Licenses - O'Reilly Radar - "The U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit has issued a wondrously clear and unambiguous opinion (pdf) that supports the enforceability of open source and public licenses."

  • Stevey's Blog Rants: Business Requirements are Bullshit - "Self-professed experts will tell you that requirements gathering is the most critical part of the project, because if you get it wrong, then all the rest of your work goes towards building the wrong thing. This is sooooort of true, in a skewed way, but it's not the complete picture."

Japanese Beetle Trap

Photo by jonna404

It took only 4 1/2 days for this to fill up. Note the bag is about 24" long!

Jonna put a “Japanese Beetle Trap” in the back yard. After 4.5 days it was completely full. Ugh.

I took this picture of Kelsi over the weekend and thought it turned out really well. For those who don’t hit the Flickr stream, I’m posting it here to show my complete command of light and - aw nevermind.

  • The Technology Edge: Stop Hiding Behind Your Role and Get it Done - "I've noticed some changes taking place in the culture of the Information Technology industry and to be blunt, they ain't great. It seems as IT organizations mature there is more and more segregation of roles on IT projects; and although the intention is good (and arguably, necessary) in many cases, it's not working. The good news is, I have an idea on how we can fix it."

Jonna got this awesome shot of the bee on a flower, which she points out is far better than my picture. Wow and DOH!

Dad and Kelsi - 2008 Edition

There’s nothing more amusing than rehashing the same joke for 3 years. Here’s the result of our trip to the Reniassance Faire this year.

Sitting At The Camper

I’m sitting on the deck right now, writing this post on my phone using the Wordpress iPhone application with a nice cold Sam Adams Irish Red while Jonna sits chilling across from me in our astronaut chairs - which is what I call these lawn chairs she found that recline and are totally comfortable.

While this is not the ideal way to blog for me (my hands get tired very quickly these days), I have to say it’s pretty cool to be able to write a blog post in the middle of nowhere and actually be able to post it.

The application also has support for the camera, so I am posting some quick pictures as well, that I just took while writing this - just to see how it works.

It’s interesting. For all intents and purposes, this place is supposed to be my refuge from technology. Up until now, I have been limited to Twitter via SMS / web and emailing Flickr photos from the phone.

Now I’m sitting here writing a blog post and watching Jonna roll here eyes at me for doing it. Life is good.

I never thought I would be this connected and have these online capabilities from a campground. What a time we live in!

Tonight is Karoke night here. Not a big fan. However, we do have a big stump to burn. Maybe we’ll just hang out here tonight.

More later. Thumbs tired.
