Not quite the results I had hoped for after reading the Lifehacker article, but it's not terrible :)
Look at that awesomeness. The cables that are hanging down all plug into my computer so they wont' be visible

A while back my dresser quits on me. I remember the Lifehacker article on making a bookcase with the drawers.
Since the drawers are the same size, can't quite get the bookcase hack to work. But I could hack an existing bookcase. My mother made one for me when I was a child, not being a carpenter, one shelf was much larger than the others. For the last 15 or so years it's held some books and largish items, but not really useful. This week I added the extra drawers to the case to create an extra shelf.
Leftover drawers were used to make a plant stand. I put them catty corner(?) so that they fit puzzle like. I wouldn't recommend doing that where they stood alone, mine are propped up by wall and the shelf.
The recipe doesn't really give any time guidelines, so I took it out after 15 minutes. It looks done, right?
The comments have some great meal tips too!

Here I'm meeting Gina from Lifehacker. I asked her to sign the page where she introduces todo.txt. Great geek productivity tool! www.todotxt.com
I couldn't continue to use my Christmas sewing caddy when it's not Christmastime, so I had to make a new one. I chose two of the colorways for the Dance With Me cheater cloths that were part of the fat-quarter-of-the-month club Schnookie got me for my birthday. I thought they'd be fun colors for dreary wintertime and a fun use for cheater cloth. The finished result is far -- FAR -- from my best work, but it does the job of holding my thread in place, so I guess there's that. Heh. (I debated whether to even take a picture of it, but then remembered a post I read on Lifehacker about keeping new year's resolutions. Someone suggested blogging about it so the threat of public humiliation would keep oneself on track. I figure posting this picture will encourage me to remember next time to press the seams before closing up the tube, dummy!)

I got the pleasure to meet a person in my industry who I have the utmost admiration and respect for. Gina Trapani is a Open Source developer, author, host on TWIG, founder of Lifehacker, and a prolific blogger. It was a real honor.
Added some good stuff.

Due to Wil Wheaton's incredible popularity following his book signing in San Diego, Lifehacker's article on him is unavailable. ;(
It was runnier than I would have liked, but still very tasty.

Life in a snowy winter climate without a garage includes a yearly sentence of months wielding an ice scraper to clean off your car. Make winter less arduous with these handy DIY de-icer recipes.
Sure you can start your car and let it idle away, melting the snow off in the process. Idling your car for long enough to completely loosen up all the ice and snow is waste of gas and the cash you spent filling up your tank. Linsey over at the financial blog wanted a cheap and effective way to cut down ... Read more...(LIFEHACKER.COM)

Thought I’d share with you a fun Yahoo! Experiment I’ve gotten myself involved in....
Meet “Purple Reigns”
That’s the name of this particular “Purple Pedal”, from the purple pedal family, who is visiting me in southern California for a while.
Purple Reigns is no ordinary bike.
Purple Reigns sort of have super powers and employs green-consciousness.
Purple Reigns is solar powered and communicates with satellites.
Purple Reigns uses that natural power to take photos with it's onboard camera which swivels and uploads images every 60 seconds to the bike’s personal flickr page: www.flickr.com/photos/purple_reigns/
Purple Reigns, then, is actively involved in the community.
Live data/photo feed of where Purple Reigns is and what it’s shooting
Now that I’m the proud caretaker of this purple super cruiser for the next couple of weeks I hope you’ll follow my pedaling journey on Purple Reigns own Flickr page:
www.flickr.com/photos/purple_reigns/
When our journey is over I will collect the best photos and they will become a Purple Reigns in Venice blog on:

So I'm a bit data-obsessed... since the first day I moved to DC I've been tracking a whole slew of varying traits, each of which roughly fits into the five traits seen at right.
Each is equalised to a score out of ten. Unfortunately this means my Exercise rating gets drawfed between my day-to-day lethargy intermixed with here-and-there activity... versus my crazed intensive month-long backpacking trips where I rack up several dozen miles a day. So Exercise gets pushed pretty far down by my readily-obvious Scandinavia trip.
The light-colored lines are the individual values; the bold lines are a moving average trendline. The far-right drops off as a result of the moving average picking up zeroes beyond the current date.
So yeah... that's basically the gist of it.
I stuck some velcro on the back, so that when I bring both I can stick them together for ease of transport. Plus it keeps them from hanging about willy-nilly when plugged into a wall outlet high enough that they dangle.
p.s. See the first photo for warnings and caveats.

My iPhone apps were starting to get out of control, so I googled methods for organizing them. I found two articles that inspired me to do the following:
-Make a blank home screen
-Create a Faves folder on the dock
-Organize other apps into folders titled with action verbs
-Start those folders on page 2 of the home screen
It's not a flawless system -- Photo isn't an action verb, and Photograph is too long -- but so far it does seem very tidy and intuitive.

Paula Rizzo Listful Thinking Using lists to be more productive, highly successful and less stressed
Основная мысль книги - запись мыслей в виде листа стимулирует превращение их в решения. Структурирует сознание и облегчает продвижение от сигнала к смыслу.
После знакомства с системой Автофокус Марка Форстера я веду списки. Делаю это в Evernote. У меня это структурированные папки «Входящее» для задач, идей и по различным проектам. Теперь попробую при обработке стараться выстраивать их в последовательность действий.
Книжка достаточно водянистая, я бы сократил её вчетверо. Много банальностей, например про использование Evernote. Взял для себя идею минимизировать усилия при повторяющихся задачах, оформляя рутину в списках. Нужно ли составлять подробные списки всем я не знаю, но перед каждой поездкой я записываю перечень всего что нужно не забыть. Делаю это каждый раз. Стоит сохранять списки для повторного использования.
Какие списки думаю составить в ближайшее время.
Переписать свой годовой чек-лист контроля здоровья в виде списка.
Список продуктов и рецептов здорового питания.
Создать список продуктов и блюд здоровой пищи.
Составить список повторяющихся действий, к которым можно написать списки.
При чтении книги ловил себя на мысли, что автор перегибает палку и просто помешана на составлении списков. Думаю, каждый решает сам, как ему удобнее. После службы в армии я стал особенно ценить правило, которое с детства внушал мне папа. Береги порядок и порядок сбережёт тебя. Порядка больше, когда ты структурируешь свой опыт. Быть креативным, импровизировать легче, когда внимание не отвлекается на чёткое выполнение рутины.
Пока читал, тренировался. Набросал список, как лучше читать книги.
- перед началом чтения записать свои ожидания от книги в виде вопросов, на которые хотел бы найти ответы
- во время чтения записывать идеи и отмечать страницы, делать пометки. Не надеяться на память
- после каждой книги составлять список книг и сайтов, которые стоит посмотреть по теме
- ценность прочитанной книги (если это нехудожественная литература) определять по количеству решений, которые принял, списку задач, которые себе наметил
- после прочтения внести название в список прочитанных книг
- подумать, кому можно посоветовать книгу. Написать сообщения. Написать в Сеть.
- подобрать ссылки и литературу по теме
