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.

Tech Dating 101: Do You Save Messages From Your Date?
One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived. It's helpful when you're dating someone — I think it's both fun and cute to reread old messages. (Though I suppose this can get dicey when trying to cut your ex out of your digital life, but that's a topic for another day).

Do You Keep Old Profiles Online?
Nothing to hide here: from time to time I like to Google myself, just to see what comes up. After all, you never know who's going to search for you from a potential boss to a potential date. Even Kristen Stewart admits to self-Googling, as do a few other celebs.
Cool Capture: A Beautiful Fall Shot Taken on the Fly
I love looking at images you've uploaded into our Cool Capture group, and lately there have been some gorgeous images from all around the world. My latest favorite submission comes from kismekate, and is a photograph she snapped out of a car window traveling at 60 mph.
I'm loving all of the stunning, inspiring submissions — especially now that the seasons are changing!
Virgin Atlantic Eases Flying Fears With a New App
I wouldn't go as far to say that I'm one of those people with a fear of flying, but when I hear a weird sound under the wing, or there's a loud clunking noise right before take off, I can't say I easily shake it off.
During a family trip once, my dad ended up sitting beside a woman who was beyond terrified to fly. She was not only crying uncontrollably, but she also clenched both of my dad's hands during takeoff.
Should There Be an Age Minimum For Social Networks?
Social networking sites have long been popular with teens, and now researchers are saying they're becoming increasingly popular with younger kids, too. I don't think anyone's surprised by the findings; though both Facebook and MySpace require users to be at least 13 years old when signing up for accounts.
A researcher quoted in the CNN article says:

Meet the Qooq, a Computer For the Kitchen
I would love to have a dedicated computer to use in the kitchen. Usually if I'm testing a new recipe from one of my favorite food blogs or websites I sit my laptop on the counter and toss a towel over the keyboard to keep it safe from spills or other kitchen mishaps. A French company decided to capitalize on the kitchen computer idea and just introduced the Qooq (warning: the site is in French), a new type of computer specifically designed to use in the kitchen.
Geek Tip: Drag Labels Onto Messages in Gmail
When I first noticed this new Gmail labeling feature (disclosure: yesterday), I wasn't sure if I was the only person who was left in the dark. One quick and informal office poll later, I realized I wasn't. Now I'm going label crazy!
Check Your Head Pillow Cases: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Hooray for more retro-themed goodies! I'm digging the Check Your Head Pillow Cases ($25), featuring a cute screen print of a vintage turntable on one side and a set of headphones on the other.
They're similar to the mixed tape pillowcase I found earlier this year, so now I'm excited to have another geeky set in rotation.
