Monitoring Personal Goals
DIY Planner has some tips for keeping track of personal goals.
Grab a standard American business card. Now, get a pair of scissors and trim the long side of the card by 20%. That’s all the space you need to hold over 1,000 songs, plus audio books, podcasts and photos if you buy Apple Computer’s newest iPod model, the gorgeous and sleek iPod nano.
This latest iPod was publicly revealed yesterday at a razzle-dazzle marketing event orchestrated by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. But I have been testing a nano for the past few days, and I am smitten. It’s not only beautiful and incredibly thin, but I found it exceeds Apple’s performance claims.

Spice Holder Ring
My buddy Mammoth (aka Stevie G.) loves salt.
Salt on pizza? Check. Salt in beer? Definitely. Salt in a pool of ketchup into which he dips his salt-laden french fries? You better believe it.
That’s why he really needs this ring, which he could wear and then use to apply his favorite seasoning without drawing undue attention to his unique gustatory proclivities.

WSJ:
In an age of high-tech, real-time gadgetry, it’s the decidedly unsexy ham radio — whose technology has changed little since World War II — that is in high demand in ravaged New Orleans and environs. The Red Cross issued a request for about 500 amateur radio operators — known as “hams” — for the 260 shelters it is erecting in the area. The American Radio Relay League, a national association of ham-radio operators, has been deluged with requests to find people in the region. The U.S. Coast Guard is looking for hams to help with its relief efforts.
