Oh, this one is easy!

I would need to have both.

I try not to kvetch in emails — Too easy to print or forward. However, I get the ol' foot in outbox when I send out a response email to a large group, only to see one roll in a minute later that made my email look silly :P

For matters like this, I like the Slob Sisters. They're not hermits, but rather slovenly moms with three kids each that figured out what worked for them.

Yeah... no. While I know of a few that are good, I think there are way better methods of getting to know people.

Cooking and computers don't mix?! Crazy! The world is always on the look out for a better recipe database. My mother recently was looking for an OCR that could read her old recipe cards and put the text into a database. I've used programs that generate a grocery list based on what I want to cook. And then there's…

I have to escape my house. With kid, husband, wii, computer, and Tivo all begging for attention, I often have to find a place where I can just read for a few hours.

Sometimes, we call meetings just to have a get together with people of like minds that feed off of each other really well. Bring some brownies and cola, and it's a party.

Hmm... Does it count as being on the computer or with each other when we're playing games not two feet from each other..?

I believe in making resolutions that are less about where I screwed up last year, and more about what wonderful thing I want to do this year. When I pick right, I end up making a lot of un-fun resolutions happen.

I think it's [whitepages.com] that allows you to search for people and save them to an address book. Then, once you've found all your people, you can export them into a file (rtf or doc) that you can print right onto some labels.

I find breaking things into tiny parts and distributing them in places to where I'm likely to have access to them helps me. I carry flash cards for my classes in my coat pocket. I always have a podcast on my mp3 player. A book I want to read has a home next to the bathtub. I keep knitting in the car, so that when I'm…

I adore Notepad2. I use it to program php, and it really helps to keep me on my toes without being annoyingly obtrusive. I even use it for my simple text editing, as it will keep track of parenthesis opening and closing.

My hack for this clock:

I did this a few years back, and let me tell you, it's a crazy ride. Though it was hectic, though it was stressful, though I had to lock my self away on the 30th to get it done, it was so worth it. It proved to me that I can do great things in just one month, if I put my mind to it.

Actually, many of the little toys we get go into the bathtub. Some stand up really well to the test of time. Others fall apart, and get tossed without ceremony.

Bard:

I had a friend who telecommuted, and while she loved it, her office mates hated it. While they used up gas and time to get into work to do jobs that required a desk presence, she got to stay at home, save on gas, take lunches as long as she liked, and get her work done when she wanted.

Also, another benefit of taking notes you'll be sharing later: you're much more thoughtful about what you put down. When I know I'll be sharing notes, I make sure they're complete, accurate, and not cryptic. This leads to me having notes that I can actually read later.
