  Minimal Mac: What's in your Simplenote?

  Today, Patrick Rhone of Minimal Mac asks: “What’s in your Simplenote?”

  I use SimpleNote on my iPhone, iPad and on my Mac via Notational Velocity. Along with Dropbox, it’s the the most frequently used app between all my devices.

  So here’s a few things I keep in it:

  1. A running list of awesome books, including the remaining titles I have yet to acquire from the Barthelme Syllabus
  2. Blog posts, both finished and drafts (a la Merlin Mann)
  3. My 2010 Uberlist
  4. A book journal for whatever book I’m reading at the time
  5. A list of all the current custom keyboard shortcuts I use across my Mac
  6. An errand list for when I get out of the house

  Remainder of 2010 Uberlist

  Remainder of 2010 Uberlist

  I came upon the idea for the Uberlist waaaaay back in 2004 via Kelly Sue DeConnick (who apparently thieved the concept from her friend Nikol Lohr, who’s datebooks I purchase every year)

  Now that I find myself willingly unemployed, I have an abundance of time on my hands to get some things done before 2010 comes to a close. What better way to focus than to revise and repost the Uberlist I never started at the beginning of the year!

  Modern Nerd: Read One Book a Week

  
  Going to try.

  It started in Belgium. One sizzling summer in a third-floor flat, my parents came strutting through the lounge to find their fat little fellow merrily leafing through a copy of War and Peace. I was two years old. Impressed? You shouldn’t be. To say that I had read and digested Tolstoy’s loathsome…

  Seriously?

  I used to think it was unfortunate not to have grown up when greats like Clapton, Page, and Green were making their magic, but I’m glad to be around to witness this.

  Omar must conjure his sound from another planet. There is just no one else playing like him.
