Spotted Today – Links for September 4th through September 30th

  • Dropbox Comes to the iPhone and iPod touch [Downloads] – Dropbox comes to iPhone… Finally! Yay with offline browsing too!
  • Google’s Monopoly: The Board Game, Not Antitrust – Take over the world with Google – this does sound like fun.
  • Keeping Google out of libraries – Google is threatening freedom… my feelings on Google have gone from admiration to quiet concern. What seems like a good idea to move towards a digital future, I do think that this gives one company too much power over something like the written word, which should essentially be freely available. Of course, I'm not overly concerned since most of the Big G's offerings have a great initial hook but really don't deliver once you get down to actually using them.

Spotted Today – Links for August 30th

Urban Nook

Okay this is a mobile post from my iPhone using Blog Press. We at Eshin Direct love promoting our friend’s business ventures, especially ones that have taken a lot of heart and soul. So I’m shamelessly plugging my friend’s online jewellry store. She even makes her own custom designs and I hear husband went through a crash course in programming to get the site up. Check out Urban Nook.

One Thing at a Time

This is a nice idea – NowDoThis. A blank white page with the one thing that you need to be doing now with simple (limited) functionality. Can possibly work well when coupled with something like the GTD system where you can import the action points for the day and let it keep you on track.

Seems so simple but if I recall my “get organized” classes back in my teens, it seemed like one of those useful tricks they kept telling you about but never actually used. Besides, multitasking seems a little harder for guys than it does seem for gals (it’s true, this is the premise of books like Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps: How We’re Different and What to Do About It.

But will it work in the practicality of a work environment? The testing shall begin.
