Comment on Evidence Intuit owns Mint.com (or Min.com…) by grant

This is in the Mint app (looking at the PayPal account). The exact problem is the grammar (or lack thereof) in the error dialog (including the mis-spelling of “min.com”).

Hmmm… I know some folks at Paypal. Not sure I follow the exact problem, here (it’s also rather late). But, I’d be happy to voice your concerns directly to the engineering team and/or architects there, if you like…

Great tips.

For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:

http://www.Gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.

Comment on Blackberry Storm commercial designed to make iPhone users laugh? by grant

Yes, but they use a stylus – the Storm’s interface and features look almost exactly like the iPhone, yet here they’re advertising it like it’s something very new. I notice I don’t see this particular ad any more – they now are careful to say its the first touch-screen Blackberry, to make it a more accurate statement.

Always amuses me when Apple users seem to forget other “lesser known” companies… like Palm or Handspring.

It’s scary how unprepared the ‘average’ driver is out there on our roads. The fact that driver education across the country is not required or a weak watered-down version is all that’s needed is a sad statement on our society as a whole.

This sign’s also particularly amusing due to its proximity to “the cows.” Anyone who’s driven by Coalinga on Highway 5 in California (more specifically, the Harris Ranch area about an exit or so north) will know “the moos” — it’s an area that’s approximately a mile to mile-and-a-half *square* of moo-moos (N36° 18′ 23.58″, W120° 16′ 13.26″).

Suffice to say that on a hot summer day with any mild breeze… just pray that you’re not down-wind or, if you are, the A/C’s been set on recirculate for a few miles prior. If it’s not… you WILL know… you may not see them in the dead of night, but you WILL know they are there…

Another particularly annoying driving trait… people that will speed up from behind you to cut in front of you, then slam on the brakes to make the next right turn — when it’d be just-as-easy (and not to mention a whole lot safer) to just turn in or stay behind you and make their right. We see it more in Michigan than in California, I think (particularly with people behind the Jeep when it’s throwing snow or slush). Though, for the life of me, with the 35 inch tires, the lift, and the rather menacing bumper, tow hooks and winch… I really don’t understand how they’d think that cutting us off would be such a wise idea.

What I don’t get are people speeding on streets cutting cars off acting like an idiot on the road without signaling only to see them turn into the McDonald’s driveway.
