The Intellectual Property Wage Slave, or Why You Should Quit Your Job Interesting read, but I wonder if this 26-year-old would have the same things to say if he had a wife & two kids… :)

Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of my frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
Installed it in a couple of seconds, started it up, figured out how it all worked in another 30 seconds.
FREE.
Why can’t Microsoft figure this out?

Mostly a reminder to self, but the ViewSonic Aircync V210 Wireless Display is pretty cool…
Gotta check out the Airpanel Smart v100 series too…

WellGet is a download manager similar to GetRight (does multiple streams and all that good stuff), but here’s the thing: It works just fine in Firefox and IE. One installer, two browsers. Boom.
Of course, I’ve got the FlashGot extension installed, so maybe that’s why it’s working…
Still, kinda pretty, kinda smart. Oh, and allows you to start playing media files as soon as they start downloading, no more of this “I can’t play that ’cause it’s being written to” stuff.
Check it out.

Found today at Engadget, and looks like it’d be kinda fun at a club or something…
Also good for reminding people who talk really loud…
The Noise Shirt is a machine washable, wirelessly rechargeable garment that measures ambient sound via an LED equalizer bar on the chest. An embedded microphone measures the environmental noise level and displays it as a vertical 5 step EQ bar, in which the top two lights represent noiselevels beyond recommended limits for hearing protection. A small lithium-polymer battery in the shirt contains a wireless recharging induction loop in the neck tab which, when conjoined with an inductive coil on the shirts specially designed coat hanger, will recharge the shirt in about three hours. The next step is to add a mobile user interface to the device in order to access outside services and applications, giving it functionality beyond reminding everyone at the next Mudvayne show that theyll eventually be going deaf.
For a nice little text-only round of “what was that sample from?”
