New Category
I have created a new category called Culture. Here is why:
A lot of times I’ll hear about a book I want to read, or a movie I want to see, or a musical artist I’d like to hear. But then when it comes time to actually go to the library or the video store or the iTunes music store, I forget about them and I just wander around aimlessly and pick something with a pretty cover.
This is not an effective strategy.
In an effort to better organize my cultural brain, I will post to this category when I hear about something I’d like to experience, and I’ll be able to open this category when I’m about to go find some reading/viewing/listening materials.
If only I had a Blackberry. Then I’d know on the go. PDAs have never really meshed with my lifestyle very well, but Blackberrys (Blackberries?) are cool.
Have you tried http://www.backpackit.com? It’s rad, and I think you should be able to access it from your phone. Very handy.
Ooh, no, I haven’t. That’s pretty cool. I especially like the fact that they advertise the feature of, “Keep track of what your competitors are doing.”
I like the idea that a service exists to help me in my quest to take over the universe and squash my enemies.
I assume that’s what they meant.
And of course Back Pack is from 37 Signals, the vaunted Web 2.0 desing house that brought the world Ruby on Rails.
