Each time I land in a new country I want a push notification telling me:
1) Is the tap water safe to drink?
2) Should I tip? If so, how much?
3) Do I need cash? If so, how much per day?

The Ultimate Touchstone of Friendship
”But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the self nor of the other, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”

RIP Carroll Spinney
Sad news: Carroll Spinney, Puppeteer of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, passed a little over a week ago.
I noticed this graphic over on Jason’s blog and was fascinated by how Big Bird was operated. Beautiful.
Happy 10th Birthday, TeuxDeux!
10 years ago today, my friends at FictiveKin and I launched TeuxDeux, a simple, minimal to-do app. If you like paper lists, you’ll like TeuxDeux.
Happy our birthday to you!
I keep my TeuxDeux as the browser landing page, which means, every time I open a browser window I am being reminded what I should be focusing on. Whatever you don’t check off today, will automatically roll over to the next day. You see the week at a glance and it’s delightfully simple. And in the ‘someday section’ below I keep lists like shopping, movies I want to watch, gift ideas for the kids, etc
Try it for free for 30 days! And if you do, do me a favor and enable the flying cat in the settings. You’ll see!
ps: We have an iOS app, but no Android yet. Someday!
