Two Week Review

I just talked about this topic over on the Underground Writers blog, but I’m going to go over it in more detail here. (’Cause I wanna.)
So it’s the end of my first two weeks on the new schedule, the one with me working 11:30 am to 8:00 pm and setting the mornings aside for [...]

10 Cent Surprise Bag

Here’s a list of everything and anything else besides writing that I did today!
I’m enjoying Melusine by Sarah Monette. I’d been meaning to read it for a while now and I used my trip to Montreal as the test to try out Stanza on the iPhone. Yes, I did buy it on e-Reader, [...]

Whittling Down The Options

Spinning off from yesterday’s entry, this entry will focus exclusively on figuring out how the heck to simplify my systems.
First off, the Getting Things Done (GTD) primary application. Right now I have two choices, Things (which also syncs with an iPhone application) and The Hit List (which, as of yet, does not). [...]

Words In, Words Out

Somedays I swear I’m in love with this computer. I just can’t stop playing with it! Remember back when I first got the Macbook (if you’ve been reading this for a while, and there are perhaps two of you who do), I said something to the effect of, “This computer feels more like [...]

Sensory Overload, Wii-Style

I am trying to focus on the computer while the ear-splitting sounds of Mad World for the Wii (a peek of which can be seen here). It is a spectacular orgy of the most graphic elements – stylized and ridiculous, hilarious and baffling. So much so it may not even be released in [...]

Dust Settled, Tea Poured

Even if it’s teeny electronic motes, the figurative dust has settled after importing all of my current e-notes into MacJournal. Fairly painless, and it’s given me the opportunity to look at how I’ve structured my notes and given me a chance to rethink my choices.
All this restructuring. You’d think I was a corporate [...]

Boom!

This entry will be back-dated, as I cannot write it from my computer. After a couple of weeks of twitching, the hard-drive that runs windows has gone bust. Todd thinks that it’s simply a case of corrupted files – it died after a reboot that followed a Scan Disk – but we won’t [...]
