Blog Notes-November 2011

Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Never forget Rule #1.

1. Started using Asana today for project and task management. Clear and focused interface. Very intuitive and easy to use. Forwarding an email with an attachment easily creates a task that can be manipulated in the system.
   • Last weekend I tried Trello which is also a very unique application. The concept of index cards on a board with ToDo / Doing / Done sections (Plus an Archive).
   • TaDaList is simple and straightforward, probably the simplest list manager!
   • two days later (11/13), Thumbs up on Asana!
   • 11/26 - a couple of weeks later and still using Asana. I have discovered several features that allow flagging task for attention (by due date, by assignment to today). Check off of tasks and archiving is easy. Forwarding of email directly to the application is very useful and includes document attachments.
2. Great photo remembrance web site, Dear Photograph. Creative content supplied by the public. A photo in a photo.
3. Brain Games at Brain Workshop - a Dual N-Back game - open source, creative memory development game. _11-26-2011

When I grow up I want to be a tax accountant
