Todoist.com–Developed by a “computer science student [with] 2 part-time jobs”, Todoist is a web application that basically functions as a personal assistant, or like a cloud of Post-It notes that follows you everywhere. Create a hierarchical calendar with your to-do items, and Todoist will contact you with recurring reminders via email or SMS, or through its integration with iGoogle, Quicksilver, Netvibes, and more.

Not sure about that, but it is pretty cool.  DIY projects, recipes, and much more.

Some homes may no longer have phone books, but many have scanners — and, increasingly, more than one. Flatbed scanners, which most people use for photographs, offer high resolution but are cumbersome for scanning large volumes of paper. New, cheap document-feed scanners that can digitize a stack of papers, receipts or business cards in seconds are becoming popular. Add multiple computers, digital cameras and maybe an electronic book reader, and suddenly paper seems to be on the endangered-species list.

A cool new hyper-local video website has launched this week called KnoxTube.

It’s a free video upload/sharing site with a local focus and flavor. There’s even a KnoxViews channel in case any of y’all are interested in doing some video blogging.

Looks cool, check it out…

With 2008 fast approaching, if you’re needing a printed calendar in time for the new year, your opportunities to grab one are fast running out. Thankfully CreativeTechs have posted three rather nifty calendars and templates for you to use. Along with a compact calendar, there’s a clever business-card sized calendar to slip in your wallet and even an Adobe InDesign template if you’re wanting to create something a little more bespoke in your free time.

Another few options include the basic calendar from TimeAndDate.com, Jim’s Graphix 2008 Calendar and Microsoft has a plethora of Office-format calendars available to download from Microsoft Office Online.

This one applies to me:

Man Stand October 3

The act of a man standing outside a shop while his wife/girlfriend/partner shops inside. Man Standing involves looking into space, at other women, or in the case of multi story shopping centers, leaning on the railings of an upper floor watching the people below.

If you have anything to sell or are looking to pick something up on the cheap, this is the place to do it. Lifehacker, just published this informative guide to selling on Craigslist. This compliments their earlier Power users guide to buying on Craigslist.

As with most everything on the web, it is buyer beware on Craigslist. There are tons of scams out there hidden among the good deals. Of course the best rule of thumb here is: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
