I feel like I have a pretty good system for keeping my schedule straight and keeping my computer free of clutter. After months of experimentation, I decided what works best for me is to use iCal for scheduling and Omnifocus to keep track of to-do lists. The problem with iCal, while it is great for my needs, is that it’s not portable. Spanning sync solves this problem by syncing my iCal with my Google cal and my Google cal with iCal.

So recently I have started seriously listening to music again… the new Radiohead album is better than expected (great!). I have found some new stuff, but recently I seem to be attracted to older music.

• David Bowie- Hunky Dory
• David Bowie- Heros
• Blonde Redhead- Fake can be just as good
• Smashing Pumpkins- The Aeroplane Flies High
• The Verve- A storm in Heaven
• Stereolab- SoundDust

Not only was Rowling obviously pushing Satan’s agenda, she was pushing the homosexual agenda as well.”

Wow,.. Dumbledore is a “gay homesexual”….. “Satan’s agenda”? I’m confused. Apparently people actually believe this stuff. I need to get out more.
