I have been using this same setup for a few months with no complaints. I also store my Notational Velocity database in Dropbox, so I have redundant backups synced across the web.

@Adam Pash: And you can get a lifetime ad-free version for $4, which I consider a pretty decent exchange.

@Justin L.A.: I recommend microfiber shirts (EMS sells some great ones). They stink if you wear them for more than a day (I only do this on hiking trips) but they do a great job of wicking sweat. They also make some great wicking polos and button downs.

@curtis07: I insist on begging for my bagel.

Last week my friends heard me say bagel for the first time. Apparently it's not pronounced begel. Nor is my "blue" shirt blue. It is, in fact, purple. The curse of the colorblind.

I've taken some decent shots with my Samsung camera phone. It helps to email them to my iPod to touch them up with ShakeItPhoto or a tilt shift app, since that disguises the fuzziness with artistic fuzziness, but you can still frame good daytime shots even with 1.2MP and no optical zoom.

I quite like PlanCake. The videos aren't that helpful for getting started, to be honest, and the system can be a bit confusing, but a little playing and you've got a perfectly hackable system that's usable right out of the box.

I just got back from vacation in Maine. First thing I did was triage my email and then take care of everything left after my inital purge. I'm going to be on top of my week and more relaxed than usual. Doing it now is a win in my book.

I think Sony beat you to the punch with the super-expensive-it-could-be-a-phone/tablet alarm clock.

Buster of 750 Words has alluded to spending a great deal of time running projects from coffee shops. I wonder if he would agree.

I prefer todo.sh for almost every kind of todo list. I love Things (I did the free desktop trial) but the price factor is so prohibitive compared to the easily hackable and free todo.txt family. I just can't get the hang of Toodledo and Google Tasks is too close to my email for me to use it in my workflow.

I'm going to try to add this to my workflow. I find that disconnecting from the net is great for getting stuff done, and maybe this way I won't even have to think about it. Automation is a beautiful thing.

I used Smultron for a little while, but the end of development killed it on my 10.6 machine. Fraise seems good, but I'm used to TextWrangler and am not quite convinced I should switch just yet.

Even though I reapplied like mad, I still got burned at Wildwood. The best defense is to be covered with something more solid than sunscreen and to check regularly for odd bumps or moles.

@Whitson Gordon: If I had a Blu-Ray player I'd be right there with you! No reason to be behind the 8-ball on this one, though perhaps MGM's money troubles have something to do with it.

I've been using WordPress.org for a while and have been mostly happy with it. I recently started a Posterous as a photoblog and random trial and have been extremely happy with it. Posterous certainly has its own flavor.

Rainmeter and Office viewers are top on my list. GeekTool can do a lot, but it's nowhere near as pretty or useful as Rainmeter. As for Office viewers, there's a reason that my school and office sends everything as PDF and only shares .doc/.docx files when absolutely necessary.

@Steven Callas: Seconded. I'm not holding out much hope, but it would still be great to see Microsoft step up. They've been improving their products in many ways, but this one is a big gap.

@styfle: Ah, yeah. I tried Smultron and loved it until it was discontinued. I'll be sure to give it a go, then.

@styfle: Hmm, I'll have to check out Fraise. I think Bean works well for everything but headers/footers and footnotes. I definitely recommend trying it - let me know what you think.
