After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".

 

So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.

 

On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.

 

On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.

 

There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.

 

The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

Controlling Windows Media Center, using a Wiimote hooked up through Bluetooth and GlovePIE software.

My work setup after the pilot program ended. (see previous post.) The wallpaper is here, original photo is here.

Stayed in the Marriott-Williamsburg where the VAST 2007 PDI was held. Wasn't able to check in until after 5:00PM. Upon taking a shower the next morning I was put off by how dirty the bathroom was.

 

The shower curtain rods and rings were rusting and bent up.

I was trying out tjmarkham3's Dynamic rainmeter skin, which is a mix of HUD.Vision, 10 Foot HUD, and Enigma rainmeter skins. Just doing a feature on his nicely modded Arcs Config, with Clickable icons around the Arc, to show you basic info, including Battery, Mail, HD space for 3 drives, time, RAM, CPU usage, date, and wireless info.

All the "hurdles" for mentors to sign up for the program made sense, and the workflow was straight forward. This process is still pretty much in place except they have one application to complete and email back. Eventually, mentors will probably get a link rather than an application attachment, to an online form application.

 

Seeing this process led to significant changes in how the proteges enroll in the program.

I made a HDTV antenna for my new TV using coat hangers, screws, old coat hangers, and a OHM transformer. Cost about $15 and I don't have to give my money to Comcast! I'm already getting 720p and 1080i and most stations

My cool and simple desktop @ work. I like the idea of having a clean desktop with some 128px sized icons. That's it.

This is my current Desktop it is on windows vista sp2. Im using Rocketdock as the dock. Than a 10 foot hud skin in the bottom left hand corner. Than I am using CD art display at the bottom. I had to try to keep it very simple because I hate clutter.

This is just a show of the rainmeter config I've been working on. It will NOT be like this, this is just me playing around after seeing this. I just thought it looked gorgeous because it's grungy and I too likes grungy.

 

One of the clock is real by the way, a rainmeter config of course. The smallest one between the two big clocks.

 

About the config I'm working on:

It is basically a replication of the RSS and Note you see here. It's not done yet, consider this shot a preview.

 

Future plans:

Improved taskbar and a better list of application launcher.

 

P.S

Is there anyone who can help me with clicking titles? I tried copying Kaelri's click-able button from his RSS-Feed Config -the title- ex. Lifehacker, Google News, etc. But I can't get it to function like that. Any answer would be appreciated.

 

Hope you all like it so far :]

ObjectDockPlus - with Typewriter_Rough icons and Stack Docklet.

Open Sesame! Notice the cord management for all of the electronics is virtually hidden. All that is visible is the cord running up from the sub which I have encased in a sheath. All the other cords sit up above the sheath on a basket that is mounted to the wall behind that cross section of the desk.

This has 7 FREE desktop apps running:

 

1. Rainmeter

2. CD Art Display

3. Rainlendar 2

4. Obectdock

5. Fences

6. Yod'm 3D

7. Not really a desktop app, but an awesome add-on for iTunes called iConcertCal.

  

Major additions to what I have had in the past include the inclusion of Fences, I tried it a while ago and thought it was a waste of time, having the ability of hiding icons when it's just as easy to streamline everything with objectdock, I didn't understand it's use at all. But I realized there were somethings that I would navigate through a few times to get to that were easier to have on the desktop and hidden with Fences. I utilize Fences to hide my TV shows, icons for CNN, Hulu, Justin TV, and South Park and hide them all with Fences. It works out well.

 

One of my favorite new things is iConcertCal, a plugin for iTunes that gives you concert info for bands that are in your library and in your area, it's awesome. I procrastinate when it comes to getting out and watching shows, but the reminders that bands are playing in my area are great.

 

PLUS (I am a Rainlendar fan and can not figure out why people want to use the Rainmeter calendar with such limited capabilities) you can export the calendar to other calendars, so it integrates with Rainlendar quite nicely.

 

And Rainlendar and Dropbox are great together. I have Dropbox sync my calendars from home and work, so i can place work schedules, sports, concerts, TV, it's awesome. Lifehacker posted this as a tip a while back and it works so incredibly well, it's completely automatic so long as you have things run at start up.

 

Yod'm 3D- Honestly this is more for flash than anything, it has no real functional value for me. Since I use two monitors most of the time, I don't need virtual monitors as it seems like a lunky waste of time switching between screens as it does.

Just noticed that one of my favorite websites, www.lifehacker.com/, has a few Flickr groups. So that was the inspiration for Picture #299 for Project 365

Just got some Flurry icons and and replaced the 32px icons i used before. Also made a new "To File" folder for the obvious.

Thanks to random lifehacker posts, I managed to use a spare board from my desk with some random 3/4 PVC couplings to raise it up an inch and a half. Paired with a Acer x223w 22" monitor, a random garage sale HP OEM keyboard, walmart-style Altec Lansing speakers with a sub sitting in the corner and a Razer salmosa (courtesy of a woot! off. $13.37) I manage to get my schoolwork done (online schooled so i spend hours sitting here)

 

Not to mention the v2 Zune dock and the Wacom Bamboo tablet I barely use.
