Being Taken to Task
Earlier today1 we released the latest episode of the Mikes on Mics podcast, where Michael Schechter (the fine gentleman behind A Better Mess) and yours truly talked about task managers.
How I Use Evernote
I’ve had Evernote on all of my Macs (and iOS devices) since it first came to market, but I never really dove into using it too much until my friend Brett Kelly delivered the goodness that is known as Evernote Essentials. It really opened up my eyes as to what this powerful software-as-a-service solution could
The Unwritten Weekend
This past weekend was spent resting, recharging, recovering and simply doing very little. In fact, not a word was written during the last couple of days. I usually offer an article per day over the weekend – and 2 on Fridays, no less – but I didn’t do that this past weekend. It’s not that
It’s How Time
I’m going to spend the bulk of this weekend doing some much-needed “rejigging” of my apps. Next week I’ll be writing a post per day that goes into the “How I…” aspects that I’ve yet to cover here. Why am I getting around to this now? Well, the first few weeks of the year have

A Leap Year of Faith: The Mike Vardy Secret Book Project Revealed
We’re wrapping up a day that only appears on the calendar once every four years. It’s a year where we get an extra day tacked on for good measure – scientific measure, I imagine – but what do we do with that extra day? Do we see it as bonus or just see it as
February 29th
We’re always asking for more time because we never have enough of it. Today we get a bonus day, an extra 24 hours to work with. When you think about that, it’s a pretty sweet deal. I am not sure who to thank for this, but I’m betting that Stephen Hackett and Myke Hurley over
Getting Things Done with Clear
Earlier this month I decided I’d take on an experiment with the newly-released Clear iPhone app. My initial review of the app over at Cult of Mac wasn’t as glowing as the reviews of countless others, so I figured I must have had my head wrapped around it entirely wrong. What I found is that
