Nook Color

Impulse buy last night was a Nook Color. I have actually been thinking of getting one for a while but took the plunge last night while S and I were buying a video game. So far I really like it. One challenge I had with my old Nook (original 3G + WiFi) was that I couldn’t zoom in on my PDF files. I use them quite a lot for knitting (and for gaming now) so on some patterns I really just couldn’t read it. The eInk was amazing though so I still liked the old device. With the new one there are many apps and I downloaded a few free ones to start. Since I am working hard on getting on track with GTD I am finding the Conqu application amazing. I can put a context with a task, and put it with a project if I want. You also have the option to say how much energy a task will take and how long it will probably take (quick, medium, etc). It is only day one of using it but so far so good. The main contexts I use are @work (includes computer work I need to do since it is rare I need to actually be at the office), @home, @computer, @errand. At first I did what it seems many do and made far too many contexts…even down to @ironingboard!

Updated theme

So I think I found a theme that I like…K2 is really easy to customize and understand. I also fired up the old computer and did a new header image. Wheee! And I had no idea about web fonts until the other day so I am using one from Google currently for the header.

Still working on the new theme

So I tried one these but it was a pain to figure out the front page photos so I changed again to Arjuna. I still need to update the top of the page. That will require firing up the old MacMini as I am pretty sure all my source files for my logo are on there. So with luck I will have that all sorted out soon.

Not much to update in terms of the house remodeling. The bedroom still needs painting and the floors put down. I cannot wait! We did do some thrifting on Sunday and founds lots of cool things.
