The coder of OneThingToday Michael Sykes happens to be a reader of Mininal and after seeing my post about Tasks he sent the link to his application.
From the website:
With OneThingToday you simply assign a single task or project to each day. This helps you focus on one major goal each day, avoiding the distraction of other pending tasks or ongoing projects. Plan your time in...

I do not understand the hate for this movie. I liked it. I feel like the opposite of Elaine and The English Patient. Re: The English Patient, I felt exactly like Elaine.

Hold your horses, internet. Exec “doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” says Hulu insider.

This is indicative of another major issue facing Hulu. There are four “owners” of Hulu. Four different entities with four different goals and objectives. It’s hard enough for single-entity startups (and I consider Hulu a “startup” in that...

Is fried egg the new bacon?

bon appetit had a whole section devoted to dishes with a fried egg on top for january. i made the fried egg carbonara last night, and i think it’s safe to say that many things are made better with a fried egg on top. almost as many as bacon.

Tumblrversary....and a break from it all

November 30 was my tumblrversary, and I place the blame for a year’s worth of distraction squarely on Hilker ;)
No, seriously, it’s been a blast to be in this community. But I am going to take a break from it all until at least the end of the year. It’s almost more than my anal self can handle, thinking about 31 days of dashboard pages I’ll miss out on, but I’m forcing myself to do it for...

No idea.
Also, when liking something, are you telling that person, ‘hey, I liked it, but not enough to reblog it’?
Yeah, I don’t really get it - honestly, no point to it at all.

Shut Up, Obama-haters

Hey you, all the groups cropping up on Facebook and elsewhere, composed of McCain supporters whining and bitching that “Obama’s not my president”: Yes he is, so shut up and grow up. Yes, I am a conservative. Yes, I voted for McCain and against Obama. But we have a new president now, like it or not, and he represents all of us. We have a unique opportunity to not react the way the Democrats...

Unlike the laws of mathematics or science, wikitruth isn’t based on principles such as consistency or observability. It’s not even based on common sense or firsthand experience.
