The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge
Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.
– David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993
Geek Attitude
The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
Definitely the only way to travel.
– Martin Delaney – “Laptop Music”.

RememberTheMilk app free for iPhone
Popular GTD-application Remember The Milk is releasing their iPhone app for free to all users. Until now you had to pay $25 yearly to have advantage of synchronizing with your iPhone. There still is a small limitation: if you’ve got a free account, RTM can sync once, manually, every 24 hours, and it won’t support push notifications. No problem for me, but I hope RTM will make the Android app free too.
Until then I’ll try the services by Toodledo and the Android app Got To Do to remember the milk.
