I've mentioned him before, but Robin Sloan is a new kind of author. I tweeted him about theSixtyOne, a new music listening site, and how it reminded me of a site in his book. No sooner than 5 minutes later he had posted to his blog (http://robinsloan.com/2010/1100) an entry about the tweet, linking to the site, my tweet, and my twitter. That is instant feedback. So do yourself a favor and go read his stories. Not only are they great, but you will see the new literature being created one post at a time.

Love, Hate, and Todo Lists
Todo lists are the ultimate productivity enhancer. Just write out what you need to do and then do it. Cross it off. Instant ego boost. So why is my todo app filled with hundreds of todos that I have marked for later? Maybe because I never read this article from the Harvard School of Smart People about how to write todo lists that work.

Waffle Fun!
I love waffles. And I just found out you can cook cookies and bacon in a waffle iron. Well imagine my suprise when I found an entire blog devoted to cooking everything in a waffle iron!
Sweet Map
As much as I dislike Microsoft, this does look pretty cool. The new Bing Silverlight app lets you make a custom little map. Ok Google, add this to Labs.
