Tied up with Twine?grant balfour | Nov 16 2007New Scientist has a piece in this week's newsletter on using the "semantic web" to get organized, focusing on a site with which I'm unfamiliar called Twine.

WWLD? No. 2: Keeping ConnectedLance Arthur | Nov 14 2007Our great friend, Leslie Harpold, passed away in December of last year. In addition to being a swell pal and an old-school web mandarin, Leslie was an endless source of advice and opinion on In Part One, I relayed a few of Leslie Harpold's amazing and simple methods of looking better every day.

It's not that I necessarily have trouble prioritizing my tasks or scheduling things - I mean I do, but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that I've got too many things I really need (want) to do - too many long-term projects with potential - and I'm never exactly sure when they're a few weeks away from a grand payoff and when they're just wasting my time. I suppose this is a crisis of faith. read more »POSTED IN:
My fling with a Sony ReaderGordon Meyer | Nov 11 2007So there I was in Las Vegas, flush with cash and giddy with excitement. Seduced by the sleek lines, thin profile, and promised efficiency of the PRS-505. Call me “Sony Reader,” I imagined it purring, “and together we will travel the world.” It spoke to both the bibliophile and gadget hound that live deep within my soul. How could I resist? read more »POSTED IN:
