Song Lyric of the Week Answer
We had a couple of answers to yesterday’s Song Lyric of the Week question. I know that the first one used Google (he admitted so on the phone), so no points to Mike. Sorry ’bout that. Tommy knew the artist from this weblog, wasn’t sure of the song – but I appreciate him dropping me […]

Getting out of the hole.
GTD refers to Getting Things Done, David Allen’s Macintosh-based system for making sure that no task, no decision, no obligation gets missed. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Mac user, a Windows user, or a Linux user – or indeed someone who uses no computer at all (though I’m not sure how you’d be reading […]
You have fallen into a hole.
Ethan J. A. Schoonover, creator of the Kinkless GTD system, has, I think, one of the best customized 404 messages I’ve seen in a long time. Kudos.
GC&SU Lacrosse
Today was beautiful, a bright blue sky and crisp cool air. A perfect day for some fall-ball lacrosse. Though the final scores weren’t to our liking, the games were great fun to watch.
