Inbox Zero
In: Geek Finds|Review|techtip
21 Oct 2007I’ve been enjoying practicing Inbox Zero as described by Merlin Mann at 43Folders. For the last couple of weeks I have kept my inbox close to or at zero and WOW, it’s an amazing feeling. Merlin’s got quite a rant going on the subject which is well worth reading. Get yourself over to www.inboxzero.com and [...]
Get your Gutsy Gibbon
In: Geek Finds|Review
19 Oct 2007The latest revision of Ubuntu, 7.10 aka ‘Gutsy Gibbon’, came out this week. I updated my home computer last night and am very pleased: Flash and Java are now included, both of which used to be huge hurdles. Also included in the new distro is Compiz Fusion which gives a slightly new aesthetic, 3-D effects, [...]
Leopard is coming
18 Oct 2007The Apple Blog has a nice review of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). TAB covers the big and little, good and bad changes to Apple’s operating system. I’m particularly excited for the new Finder, which looks very iTunes-esque and even includes Cover Flow. Leopard ships October 26, ZingIT review to follow shortly thereafter. Get excited. [...]

Plaxo – syncing goodness?
In: Geek Finds|Review
11 Oct 2007As some of you know I have been in search of the perfect syncing tool for a while now. I’ve tried many and none are perfect. In fact, many of them screw up my data in creative ways. Plaxo may be not be an exception, it’s too early to tell, but it’s worth noting here [...]
1st Flush Darjeeling – Rohini Estates 2007
25 Sep 2007We have a lovely new first flush darjeeling on the shelves from Rohini Estates and I’ve been drinking it for about a week now. I’ve been brewing it in a 16 oz pot with about two level teaspoons of tea with water at about 185 F for 5 minutes on the first steep and 4 [...]

iPhone – the darker cloud
In: Review
22 Aug 2007I don’t take any pleasure in writing negative reviews. I’ve been using the iPhone for two weeks now, replacing my Treo 700, and I have discovered more things that I don’t like than those that I do. I’ll share some of them with you. The iPhone has a lovely interface for Contacts, the scrolling rubber [...]
Ratatouille
16 Jul 2007The movie. I’m not a big Walt Disney fan so I had low expectations. I had heard good things about the movie from friends but honestly I don’t trust my friends taste in movies to match my own. There’s a distinct lack of technology present in Ratatouille. I was laughing by 10 minutes in and [...]
Ari hooked us up with some new Japanese green teas from Rishi (thanks, Ari!). Yesterday we brewed up the Kukicha, and it was delicious! Tasting notes coming soon, in the meantime enjoy the copy: “Kuki” means twin in Japanese, and kukicha is one of the most popular types of green tea. Twigs from green tea [...]

Thank-you Cards
In: Good Stuff|Review
26 Jan 2007As my workmates now know, I’m not a big fan of receiving thank-you cards. On first hit it’s nice but then I feel obligated to hold on to them, to display them, to not throw them away… Argh. On the other hand, my workmates seem to love receiving them. Sigh. So I made up some [...]
