Living in Southern California, I’m constantly amazed at how consistently beautiful the weather is here. Not a day goes by when I don’t hear about a blizzard on the east coast or the unholy amount of rain in the Pacific Northwest.

Now, I can make all you guys jealous with the fancy iBegin Weather Widget (pictured at left). Plug in your US/Canada city name (or US Zip Code) and it quickly shows off all manner of weather info, including current conditions and upcoming forecasts! Very slick stuff.

Setup is a snap, and you can style it to your hearts’ content right on iBegin’s site. Set all of your colors and attributes and such, then plug in the code that’s generated for you. It’s that easy, kids

Now, if only you could all have the super awesome weather I’m downright taking for granted

Well, there are a couple of reasons why: First, I’ve recently accepted an offer with a new employer doing web development with PHP, Flash and other stuff (which I’m terribly excited about). This coming week will be my [...]

A blogger named Z.D. Smith recently posted an entry to his blog titled “GND” (which, I can only assume, means “Getting Nothing Done”) where he (eloquently, albeit with a healthy dose of bitterness) lambastes GTD/productivity bloggers, as well as GTD, itself. From the post:

(Disclosure: I don’t work for Tivo or anything) Before you dismiss this notion out of hand, I invite you to examine this hypothetical situation… Tom and his wife Jane are seated in the living room. As per usual, Jane is in possession of the coveted remote control and happens upon yet another rerun of the [...]

After spending several months flirting with all manner of web applications, notebooks and the like, I think I’ve finally settled on my GTD implementation of choce. Backpack, a product by the venerable 37 Signals (makers of Basecamp), is simply fantastic. When considering my previous idea about the two types of web-based GTD systems, Backpack is [...]

So, since I’m feeling particularly altruistic and sappy, I’m going to hook you guys up (and this is aimed specifically at all of the entrepreneurial bloggers out there)… I’ve decided to remove the “nofollow” attribute from all links the comments. If you don’t know what this means, here’s a 2-sentence synopsis: Basically, any link that [...]
