thing 13

I chose igoogle as my start page, mainly because everything else I do is google based. They are the new microsoft, I swear. I enjoy some of the gadgets, a have a serious time-killer game, quote of the day and a moon phase tracker. All necessary items, I'd say. I will not be setting it as my homepage though, as searching through google seems slower when I'm logged in. Could it be that they are tracking my every move? Or am I just paranoid?

I checked out all of the calendar pages, as I a very planner-centric. It took me years to find the proper format (Moleskine, weekly notebook, vertical orientation with notes page, 5 x 7, red *see above*- I'm on my third year of them now, before that it was a Franklin 3 ring binder type, but that got too heavy) but I still check new ones out the entire month of December. And sometimes in August, there might be an awesome back to school find.

I thought Scrybe looked great, I liked the zoom in on day feature, but is still by invitation only. Backpack seems like a great tool, as well. The ultimate on-line to do list.

After all that searching, I think I'll stick to my moleskine. I experimented with a PalmPilot years ago, and I just never got into the tech thing. For me, its as much writing it down as it is having the list for reference. Often, if I write something down, I don't need the list later - which will disappear if I am typing the list.

I also looked at Zoho projects and will suggest to the interior design faculty that we check it out as a tool for accreditation. I can see how this would work very well for a group project.
