Category Archives: productivityI love iCal, but it’s driving me crazy lately. Help!
As you might have guessed, I’m a pretty busy person. If I didn’t have a good electronic calendar program, with alerts and reliable backup, I’d be totally lost. That’s why I’ve been a devoted user of Apple’s iCal program for about 10 years.
A few months ago, [...]
(NOTE: I’m cross-posting this from Poynter’s E-Media Tibits.)
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m currently using Twitter to provide live coverage of many of the sessions at a seminar from the Knight Digital Media Center called Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace. You can check in anytime today or tomorrow for my three most recent posts on the [...]

Barcelona was fabulous, especially the living statues. Now it’s back to real life. (Cringe!)
I’ve just returned from a 2-week trip that mixed business, vacation, and family. It was quite a whirlwind, but it was also fun, exciting, and important in many ways. While I was gone I was able to keep E-Media Tidbits going, [...]
Here’s what my feed reader looks like right now.
I’ve lost track of how many RSS feeds I subscribe to in my feed reader — somewhere between 100 and 200, I’m guessing. But that doesn’t matter, because despite the volume it’s surprisingly manageable and rewarding. The secret, I’ve found, is to let go of any sense [...]
Some of my Twitter friends who helped me this weekend. Thanks!
Lately I’ve gotten back into Twitter — the service that is strangely addictive, yet people often can’t clearly articulate why they use it. It seems to have struck the online community at a subconscious level, and is seeking a conscious purpose or rationalization.
I’m agahran [...]
Lijit as a “me collector” — see it in action in my sidebar.
Yesterday I finally got around to implementing the Lijit search widget on this blog. I didn’t realize until I started playing around with the widget settings that this cool little tool actually goes a long way toward being the kind of “me collector” [...]
A month after Google announced it was going to increase free storage space for Gmail users by an unspecified amount, I’m still seeing the storage space in my account creep steadily upward.
For context, a month ago my account had about 2.9 G of space, with 59% of it used. As of this morning, I have [...]
Think it’s easy blogging a blogging conference? Think again.
(UPDATE: If you’re reading this post in a feed reader, you may see a big block of spam below. Sorry about that — my blog has been hacked. I’m working to fix it.)
The thing about conferences is that, in my opinion, it’s really damn hard [...]
What’s happening with the GTDinbox upgrade? Watch the Productive Firefox blog.
Apparently, Gmail is undergoing a major upgrade, which is being rolled out to users. The upgrade hasn’t hit my account yet — but at least I’ll be spared a nasty shock when it does.
As I’ve mentioned before, I rely heavily on the GTDinbox Firefox add-on [...]
I absolutely adore this productivity tool. My stress level is way down, and I’m getting more done.
Now that I’ve been using it for a few months, I have to say that GTDinbox (a Firefox plugin that adds functionality for David Allen’s Getting Things Done productivity system to Gmail) has totally rocked my world. It’s definitely [...]
