Website of the Day: Now Do This
Done and done is one of my favorite — and overused — lines. So when I came across Now Do This, a to-do list application website, I couldn't help but give it a whirl. So maybe you can't see your entire to-do list like with Remember the Milk or sticky notes on your iGoogle page, but it is plain and simple.

Do You Send More Texts Now Than You Used to?
According to data recently released by a communications study group, the number of text messages sent and received in the US has grown 80 percent in the last year. A spokesman for the group that conducted the study cites unlimited text plans (instead of traditional pay-per-message plans) and early-adopting teens who have continued their texting practices as they've gotten older.
And, of course, there's the now infamous story of a teenage girl from Ohio who sends over 15,000 texts a month!
Geek Tip: Make and Share Lists Online
Now is the perfect time for me to introduce you to Listography — it's going to become so helpful when you're shopping for holiday gifts. The question "What do you want for Christmas?" is so five years ago when you have a network of family on Listography, since it lets you create your own wish lists and share with your friends online.
Blake Lively Gets Some One-on-One Help at the Apple Store
Celebs like Kristen Stewart and Paris Hilton like to hit up the Apple store for all of their tech needs, but which famous females have been caught asking for some Apple assistance in the pristine retail store?
Well we've already spotted Rachel McAdams and Elle Macpherson utilizing the Apple stores' staff and services and now we can add the star of Gossip Girl — Blake Lively — to the list! This pic was taken last Saturday when Blake attended the grand opening of Apple's Upper West Side store.
GelaSkins Brings Tim Burton to Your iPhones, Laptops
Even if you didn't get to party with Tim Burton himself on Tuesday night for the unveiling of his career-spanning collection of art in NYC, you can still go check out the goods at the MoMA, and now can don your iPhone or laptop in his work as well. GelaSkins is known for their huge selection of artist-inspired gadget skins, and have plucked the artwork right out of Burton's "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories" and handed it to us in a collection called Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys.
The iPhone skins will set you back $15, and the Laptop skins start at $30, but seems like a deal if you're a Burton fangirl, or just adore his creepy-cute art, like I do.
Website of the Day: More Cloth
I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop.
Website of the Day: Duffel
There are a ton of travel planning sites, but I just found my new favorite. Duffel (find the site at duffelup) calls itself "a trip-planning tool for people who are not planning any trips," but it's pretty handy for actual trip planning, too.
Sign into the site to create trips — real or imagined — to any place in the world.
Tech Dating 101: He CC'd Me on an Email to His Mom
A friend of mine needs some advice: last week, her brand-new boyfriend (we're taking days here, not even weeks) wrote an email list of gifts he wanted for Christmas, sent it to his mom, and CC'd my friend. To be fair, my friend did ask him to send her his Christmas wish list, but she never expected him to send the same list to his mother at the same time.
She's a little freaked out because she thinks this is a sign of him moving too quickly.
Has Google Latitude Gone Too Far?
I have mixed feelings about location-based services like Google Latitude, which pinpoints and shares your location in real time, or Foursquare, the application allowing you to "check in" and share your location with friends. Granted, there are privacy settings, but the whole tracking-in-real-time thing creeps me out a bit.
Now it seems Latitude got a little bit creepier.
