Worth reading - Soros is a smart man, and his comments about W’s inability to move in multi-dimensions are right on.

GTD Next Actions

10:02 pm

I like GTD, and use it often via the Outlook plug-in from Davidco. This discussion of next actions (an integral component of the GTD process) is good stuff.

43 Folders: Does this ‘next action’ belong someplace else?

Congratulations to Sharon and the rest of the Seattle Riot Ultimate team. They are the 2004 2004 UPA Club Ultimate Champions!.

Scoring summary of the tournament can be found here — and a shoutout to whoever got their act together and redesigned the scoring site — it rocks!

One-Fingered Victory Salute

I won’t be sorry to see this guy go — thing is, there’s been no victory.

Oh my - check this QT video out. From the 2004 RNC - sure, anything can be taken out of context if edited, but the repetition here amazes me.

From Kevin Kelly — Cool Tools, my new word of the day - Oxymoronica. The book looks fun — check out the sample quotes at the bottom of the entry. My favorite is from Paul Gauguin.

Again with the Prowl

October 19, 2004 10:13 am

Again! It happened again! This time, they left the car, but stole everything inside it. Like a big vaccum - everything is gone. This sucks - leave my car alone! And in front of my house, even. AND, they stole my Club off the steering wheel. Oh yeah, that makes me feel safe. I might as well just leave the car unlocked.

USB Boot Hack

From Hack-A-Day, WeetHet - Boot from USB Flash drive. Now I just have to get a USB drive…but when I do, I want to be able to boot from it!

Laszlo

October 15, 2004 10:03 pm

In addition to the Google stuff, the other company I’m keeping an eye on is Laszlo Systems. Marc is too. I think they have a great idea, good execution, and now some financial backing. Way to go OpenSource!

I created a Gallery/Photoblox integration for the ANVL home page (top right) to show the last 5 pictures uploaded to my picture gallery. Pretty easy (the PHP was the hard part for me; Laszlo was cake), and I loved it. Check out the Laszlo demos for some serious eye-candy (well, for geeks). I wonder what that email client will look like…

Google Will Rule The World

10:01 pm

Mere minutes after I wrote the prior entry about Google Desktop, I’m scanning my RSS feeds (boy, I love RSS), and I found this — another “stealth” technology from Google. Check it out — a Google IM client from within the Google image app (Picasa)!

Read the entry, and draw your own conclusions. I’m really thinking that Google is positioning themselves well for taking over the desktop. After reading this, I checked the GOOG stock, and it’s at 145. From 100 on 8/19 to 145 on 10/15. 45% in less than 60 days. I might have to buy some even at 145…wow.
