An Anti-Bullying Pink Shirt Day Message

Today being Anti-bullying, wear Pink Shirt Day, I thought I would make this little video showing my support. I think the whole idea of this day is to not only try to make fact the bully is happening aware to everyone, but to also show support for those who are getting bullied, and to show them we care. I genuinely feel for people who are getting bullied. An anger builds inside of me when I see it, and my first thought is to intervene.

I just share my history with bullying, although probably insignificant to many, I just want people to know that I care.

The Smell of the house

Do you think the occupants of a house make the smell for the place or does a smell come naturally. My apartment still smells the same as it did when I moved it, I think. Same with the new place I’m going. It has a distinct smell.
Many things could mask a smell of a house itself. Bad BO, good BO, air fresheners and of course food.
So is a smell occupant made or natural?

A ToDo List and a Task Manager for Myself

The last six months that I’ve been working at Motion Media, I have been looking for a good solution for keeping tasks and ideas all in line. I’ve tried different software solutions, such as Evernote, Things, iCal and a couple other solutions, none of which I am happy with.

At the office we’re changing to a new project manager, I haven’t gotten into it very much yet, but I’m hoping that it is a solution to my issues.

I just got into using things again, but I wanted a better solution. I had this idea that what I want is an application that combines Evernote, Things and iCal. On a side note I figured out that I can combine iCal and things, but I would still like the ability to make notes.

My biggest issue with Things is its inability to sync between multiple computers and mobile devices. I want to be able to give myself something to do on one computer and then have it appear on another computer. On any given day I might use three different computers, all which might be mine so having Things in the cloud is where I want it. There is also no way that I’m going to spend $50 on Things for three different computers.

I think since Evernote seems to be an advanced application, I think they should add to-do lists with the functionality like Things and then the support of iCal.  Although I do like Evernote at some points I just think it is a glorified text editor.

Either way I’m still looking for the perfect task manager/to do list/scheduler for myself. If you know of anything please let me know I’m willing to try almost anything. I’m also looking forward to using the new project manager at work, as I will be able to document everything I do in the time that I doing it. As we all know I like to document everything I do, hence this blog.
