I love ToDo. It's been my personal to-do list for r about a year now.

It doesn't do all the things I need professionally, however, so I use OmniFocus for work.

I was a Things user for a while, but I didn't love it.

This is a nice post, but "Tails are for pulling and backs are for riding on... that's just how it goes" is not only bad advice, it's dangerous.

Pets are animals - not humans who can be told "it was all in fun" or "he didn't mean anything by it" - if they are threatened or injured, they may react accordingly. It's buck-passing parental narcissism to think only the pet owner should bear the responsibility of this interaction.

Totally not offensive, though.

I think this is great. Not for me, necessarily, but great.

I recently visited Hong Kong and ordered a 7-Up with "salty lemon" . . . it was delicious and completely cleared up the mild sore throat I had (I had unknowingly ordered a home remedy) . . . can't wait to try this out now that our lemon tree is heavy with fruit!

When we moved into our new home, we kept the TV out of the bedroom . . . but 9 months later, we've decided to bring it back for two reasons: 1) Sick days 2) Laundry is unbelievably tedious w/o a little TV going on.

I am actually sick today. After going to the Dr., I swung by the store to pick up my usual - Gatorade and croissants. My wife is picking up my usual sick dinner - a reuben on rye and kreplach.

"Now, I'd like two eggs, over hard. I know, don't tell me; it's hard on the arteries, but old habits die hard — just about as hard as I want those eggs."

Seems to be a natural pendulum-swing-reaction to the MCM-inspired minimalism. It will be interesting (and amusing) to see Pottery Barn et. al attempt to harness an "authenticity" movement, but what can I say? I like this look better, so I won't complain about that stuff.

The pendulum will swing the other way in a few years and we'll be inundated with more photos of all-white kitchens again.

Hahahahaha the shot of that dude staring at his living-room car with its headlights still on is the best thing I've seen this morning. I particularly enjoy the fact that the seating is placed for maximum car-viewing pleasure.

Every time one of the AT blogs posts something related to this issue (quite often, I might add), I'm always struck by how many people are absolutely hysterical about germs.

Also, the "How do people who wear shoes in the house exist? Do they wear them in the bath and to bed?" posts are eye-rollers every single time.

wow, no need to bring 9/11 into this. sure, it would be stupid to take this on a plane . . . you'd just be asking for trouble . . . but plenty of people take trips that don't involve air travel. if someone likes driving around with a suitcase that looks like it has an axe in it (the only one i thought was funny, these could benefit from a more cartoon-ish vibe) then why the hell not?

You clearly have a different aesthetic. That's fine. There's no need to make this a personal issue.

it seems to go without saying, but please take care of the tents you're borrowing. tents are very easy to mistreat . . . tricky to assemble/disassemble if you're inexperienced and tempting to leave a mess if you know you're not the one dealing with it again.

in case you can't tell, i'm a friend with camping equipment. after too many dirty, broken or altogether-never-returned tents, i don't really loan these out anymore . . . or it's accompanied by an angry-librarian-style lecture about taking care of things before i hand it over.

Thanks! This is a great, well-written post. There's been a real tendency in environmental issues to throw the baby out with the bathwater . . . when the most progress has been made in tying environmentalism to smart economic and efficiency goals . . . use less and save money. The goal isn't to return to our grandparents' time, it's to take the best of their wisdom and apply it to modern innovations.

Walked the first part of the Highline yesterday. It's brilliant . . . the "theater" for watching traffic was inspired.

I stayed at The Standard over the weekend and can't recommend it. The design is more about looking good when you first walk in the room. Once you're actually staying in the space, you realize it consists of a thousand annoyances. Killer elevator, though.

The 80s wood is rough. It's a lot more work, but if you like darker wood, I would recommend staining over painting.

If you're set on painting white, you should go crazy and paint it all.

We've been cooking at home A LOT more . . . but I think that has as much to do with buying a house right now as the economy . . . once we move next week, having a decent-sized kitchen and garden box should encourage us even more.
