A key for my next actions. I borrowed this nomenclature for To-Do's from a blog. I'll look it up and give you credit.
I am writing and serializing a book on the slip method, explaining how it works and how it can be integrated with a system.
A quilter's paradise: 2 days, 5 friends, a whole lotta stuff.
Read how we did the $1,200 "Quilty As Charged" Garage Makeover on the Atwater Village Newbie blog.
This is my current desktop. I decided to create a more sleek looking desktop, to match the way my iMac looks. However I still wanted Functionality.
This is an idea that has been done a lot before, But It works well for me, and the dual monitors really give it all it needs without being too cluttered
I Used Omnimo, They did a great job and I am totally impressed by their work! Keep it up!

Simple home made wrist strap for my new-to-me Leica. Also attached the flip bac camera grip. This is my setup when hiking. Excellent camera.
First and foremost, I can now officially announce the release of Enigma 1.1 to the Lifehacking community. :)
As I described in the preview, I've added:
-RSS reader.
-Gmail notifier.
- System/battery graphics using ecqlipse 2 icons.
- Tray clock replacement.
- Quick-edit button for Notes.
- Application launcher. Useless to anyone with Launchy or StandaloneStack, but it's pretty, and way too much fun to play with. (You can see what it looks like in the deviantArt screenshot.)
- Assorted doodads and revisions.
- Fixed the Location bug plaguing Enigma and HUD.Vision.
As for this shot, it's nothing dramatically different from my Leaf, so I'll redirect you there for all software/themes. My new toy of the week is the aforementioned StandaloneStack, courtesy of skarhead187. I loves them, precious. Right now, I've added a bunch of them to my Launchy directory, but my real plan is to assign some keyboard shortcuts to them using Authotkey - I'm thinking Win+F1, F2, etc. The creators of Enso once mentioned that the one shortcoming of active-input app launchers like Launchy, Executor and Enso is that you can't effectively browse your options. The Start Menu, quite frankly, is an effective tool for that, and I still use it for that purpose regularly. But I think a method using StandaloneStack may eliminate even that need. I already categorize the programs in my start menu (Accessories, Programs, Media, etc.), so it's a natural progression to assign a hotkey/stack combo to each one.
And after that? They're shortcuts. You can do anything with shortcuts and batch files. You can nest them, for heaven's sake! You could design an interface that used literally nothing but these stacks.
Sadly, classes are starting up again, and I have some other non-Desktop-y projects to work on, so God knows when I'll get to that.

If you wear glasses like me, you are probably quite frustrated by the fog which the mask creates on your glasses, especially in winter. This simple origami design, folded from paper handkerchiefs, tightens up your mask and thus reduces fogging. While this solution is not perfect, it works quite well and is easy enough to fold that using it in real life is reasonably practical.
The main disadvantages are that the seal created by the fog stoppers may open up when you move, especially if you talk while wearing your mask, and the loose corners which stick out in front of your mask and may limit your field of view if the wind blows them up. The latter can be prevented by holding the corners in place with the help of band-aid. It is quite important that this solution uses two separate fog stoppers rather than a single one: this way the nose is free from the tissue paper which allows the mask to be laid out is a straighter line, reducing air leakage.
As for alternatives, my favorite is to use a single long strip of adhesive bandage (sold in rolls at any pharmacy) to affix the upper edge of the mask to your face. While detaching the mask can be a bit unpleasant, this method is quite fast and the most effective one I know of in preventing fogging of the glasses (yes, I do think it is better than the origami solution). An important culprit to watch out for is that you have to attach the whole upper edge: if you only use the band-aid on the central part, you will still get fogging form the air flowing around it.
Not only is my cat adorable, she has learned to stay on her heated pad on the corner of the desk and not on my keyboard. Home Office WIN.
I have used yellow and red darmato for reading. But the red is too strong. I tried other colors this time.
