Makes. Me. Crazy.

This is a "forward slash", or just a "slash": /
This is a "backslash": \

Every time someone tells me to go to "www dot example dot com backslash something", a little piece of me dies.

End of day goodness…

A little treat for everyone at the end of a long work day (mine was, anyway)…

Goats in Trees. Karen doesn’t seem to think this is as amazing as I do, but it is.

RSS Owl

Still look for that RSS aggregator to use on your machine? Want to know when we update our blog? Look no further: RSS Owl. It’s head and shoulders above any other free solution I’ve tried, is written in Java so it’s cross-platform, and allows imported bloglists in OPML format so you don’t have to re-subscribe to everything. (Looks like you still have to tell it to auto update feeds) It also features:

tabbed feed panes!
Allows you to use any browser internally, so you don’t have to view links in stupid IE
Tons of smart options to configure
Good filtering and searching
Did I mention it’s free?

So. If any of that makes you excited, or if you understand it at all, you’ll know you need to check this thing out.

PocketMod

Branching out a bit on the blog, but I’ve found this little guy to be so useful over the past week I figured I should mention it. I’m a little late to the party on this – it’s been around for a few months – but I only stumbled on it last week: I’m referring to the so-called PocketMod. It’s hard to explain, easy to use – I recommend immediately throwing one together using the online application, printing it, folding it, and seeing how cool it is. Then keep it handy for a week and start jotting things down in it – I use mine primarily for two lists: shopping (both hardware and otherwise), and a to-do list. The front cover is a weekly schedule by day, the back is a month calendar, and the last two pages are year-long calendars. So useful. And totally customizable – there are pages you can add for storyboarding, music notation, note-takeing, etc! Give it a try and let me know what you think.
