I'd bet most casual GTD folks use web service based stuff like Remember The Milk. I use Sandy when I'm in my GTD groove- which I'm not at the moment! - Paul Reynolds

I pretty much stick with Remember The Milk - tried a couple apps for the iPhone and none really "stuck" with me very well. - Nicholas Mercer

In other words, "Hey, my old one sucked, at least that's what everyone said, so here's a new idea." - xero

They found a way to culture and monitor mouse retinas up to 30 days. Given that they also found that Dopamine and GABA could control both the phase and amplitude of retinal PER2::LUC rhythms. In short, they may have found a way to alter your natural clock via controlling hormone production. - xero

No matter whether you're talking elephants or bacteria, a new study proposes that, pound for pound, all living things' at-rest metabolisms use similar amounts of energy. Though living things vary greatly in complexity and size, their energy usage falls between 3 and 90 watts per kilogram of biomass. For comparison, a MacBook Pro is supposed to draw about 12 watts when operating from its battery. - xero

The Bush administration will announce a plan to rescue frozen credit markets that includes spending about half of a total of $250 billion for preferred shares of nine major banks, people briefed on the matter said. - xero via Bookmarklet

These things are supposed to be fantastic, and are normally twice this price. Several professional groomers just use these brushes. - xero

"Podcars" or PRTs (personal rapid transit) are somewhere between the personal car and the subway. 2-10 people per car, stop without stopping traffic at any "parking station". Go anywhere it goes almost on-demand. And the whole thing is automated and solar powered (mostly at least). London's Heathrow, Sweden, Poland, Korea, Santa Cruz, and Abu Dhabi are already testing the feasibility. - xero via Bookmarklet

Just watched Vanilla Sky, got me looking around at the current state of cryonics. Turns out it is actually a very actively studied field at the moment, and if nothing else, making lots of profit from the dead rich. - xero via Bookmarklet

Wow, I've thought about needing 7 buttons before, but 5 has been working fine. The worst part about 15 buttons is I'm sure I'd find a use for them... - xero via Bookmarklet

Wow memory has gotten cheap - xero

Imagine a circular loft with plenty of skylights and a solar array on top, gently rotating to orient itself towards the sun, and you have the basic idea. They seem to be partially or fully pre-fab, coming in several styles both inside and out. A rull rotation requires as much energy as vacuuming the entire place once. Exterior lacks a little to be desired by me, but the interiors are beautiful. - xero via Bookmarklet

Ningbo, China: Unv of Nottingham's Centre for Sustainable Energy Tech. The building has a zero emission/carbon footprint (outside of that used to construct it and the materials). Powered by solar cells and heated/cooled by geothermal energy. Designed to promote natural ventilation, and natural light throughout. Also has on-site gray-water recycling center. As you'd expect, will be used to research more sustainable tech. Fun but needs some decorations inside. - xero via Bookmarklet

The site is actually an anti-Federal Reserve site, so I'm not sure if you can trust the numbers, but they should be close. Some interesting trends exist from the graphs (oh, and there's a lot of graphs and tables, geeks rejoice). - xero via Bookmarklet

interesting stuff - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
