One of the most clever blog titles I’ve seen in awhile: Girl’s Gone Child.

The Oregon 150 Challenge website makes me proud to be an Oregonian. And it reminds me of all the places in my own state that (embarrassingly) I’ve never visited.

We need a Shazam-esque app for movies. How many times do you turn on the tv and flip through to a movie and have no idea what you’re watching? If I’m at home I can use a guide, but I’m usually watching movies on tv in hotels or similar places. Sure, I can get onto IMDB and look for Clooney’s movies from the approximate era of the one I’m watching, but isn’t that the film equivalent to Googling a line of song lyrics?

I’ve managed to convert most of my “life tracking” to digital systems — address book, calendar (that was a big hurdle), etc. But list-making is an ongoing struggle. I blame it on the inadequacies of available tools, but at the end of the day, I find that I’m more likely to actually get things done when I write them out by hand. Of course, it’s still beneficial to have master to-do lists (for tasks, errands, etc., but especially for long-term projects, “someday” tasks, and “don’t forget this” lists). I used Backback for awhile, and I still use my Backpack for other things, but without iPhone integration, it doesn’t cut it for daily list making. I’ve gone back and forth on Zenbe Lists, but over the last several weeks, Zenbe and I have gotten into a good rhythm. However, I’ve had constant confusion on my list counts, and today I finally figured out why. In the iPhone app, the task count shown for each list is displayed as completed of total — i.e. 4/5, where 4 tasks are done. From the web, the task count is incomplete of total — i.e. 1/5, where 1 task is not done. The best part: I cannot find a single place on the Zenbe website to submit a support ticket, a feature suggestion, or, well, any kind of correspondence. I can understand not wanting to do costly and time-consuming support for a free product, but shouldn’t there be some method of contact?

When I was in LA, I used Urbanspoon for iPhone to find a restaurant close to LAX. It said there was a CPK right down the street from the airport. We had a little trouble finding it, but saw a sign and parked in the garage next to the address only to find out that it was the CPK corporate office. Money wasted on parking: $2.50. Urbanspoon: deleted.

Finally, a decent place to find hairstyle photos. Before this, we were doomed to those terrible hairstyling magazines and celebrity style websites.

If God had a Facebook… “God is just sittin’ around bein’ omnipotent… Hit me up on AIM.”

Card-writing is a lost art. Be part of the solution and make someone’s day. (Yes, that is my mom’s Etsy shop, but that doesn’t mean the cards aren’t seriously great.)

Hooray for the (hopeful) resurrection of Polaroid film!

Nice redesign at Clearleft. Periodic element-esque navigation items are hot.

Fifty People, One Question, via DailyCandy. “Go to a place. Ask fifty people the same question. Film their responses.” Some really endearing responses and camera shyness.

Hello, Museo. You’re none too bad either, Marat.

Stunning couture coats from Lia Lintern. A dream come true for a coat enthusiast like me: coats made to size, even taking arm length into account.

Jesse did a truly masterful job on the Campaign Monitor redesign. CM is a great product, and now their website demonstrates and showcases that.
