GTD Tools
For those of you who are employing a GTD (Getting Things Done) system, you might be interested in checking out this exhaustive list of GTD tools.
Michael Buffington (of 43folders.com) has a great demo of how he uses iGTD (Mac OS X only) and the iGTD plugin for QuickSilver to maximize his productivity. It’s worth checking out.

Speeding up OpenOffice in Ubuntu
By tweaking a few of OpenOffice’s settings, you can vastly increase its performance. I just tried it out. Huge improvement.
Crush
I just saw the trailer for a video game that looks like it would stretch your mind. The game name is “Crush”. The game takes place in a 3D world, but the puzzles can only be solved by crushing the world into a 2D plane.
