Lifehacker has an amazing tip today; accessing Google’s Calendar via an Outlook Calendar page.
I’ve just tried this and found that not only can I display my gcal in a new calendar in Outlook, I can use the same trick to enable my gmail in a similar way. This is going to save screen real-estate and also [...]

I’m busy. And impatient. Consider it a symptom of a Gen-X, child of the 80’s type lifestyle, but I really don’t have time to waste. So why is it that websites still think that when looking to purchase their software, I’ll want to read pages of text about how great it is and then spend [...]

I have tried numerous online and offline-computer-based resources to keep my GTD system in line. I’ve had a giant Word doc, modified Excel to within an inch of its life, followed the teachings of those who preach .txt files and made myself known to many an online and usb-drive Wiki.
