Website of The Day: DIY Planner
There's just something about actually writing down your to-dos that makes you get 'em done. I admit — as much as I tout the joys of using my iPhone to list what I have to do during my day, I always find that I remember more when I'm physically writing them down on a piece of paper. So if you are also a fan of low-tech methods to help you get things done, then check out DIY Planner.
Easily Move Items to Different Lists With Google Tasks
Have you been using Google tasks to manage your "to do" lists? You can turn Tasks on in the Labs section of your Gmail settings. Once it's enabled, you will find Tasks under your contacts and you can start creating your virtual lists!
Website of the Day: Do It Do It Done
I'm a fan of simple, straightforward websites, and right now Do It Do It Done is doing it for me. A very simple to-do list website, you just start adding tasks to your list (hang on to the url to return to it), and then click them to cross off.
It's kinda sad that this is a bonus now, but there's no required registration to use it.
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.

From Facebook apps like the popular FarmVille — which allows players to run their own virtual farms — to competitive games like Sorority Life — where players have to dress a group of college sorority sisters to compete with rival sororities — the article explains that players are likely to buy items to improve their performance in the game or to build up a collection of goods that will impress friends.
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.
Colorful, Lightweight Laptop Stand Travels Anywhere
I'd like to say that I do most of my work sitting upright at my desk, but in reality, that's not always the case. You're more likely to find me curled up on the couch working on my computer, or propped up watching a movie in bed. I've also created makeshift work spaces in airports while waiting for flights, my kitchen floor, and even on the city bus.

UBoard Desk Shelf: Love It or Leave It?
I just spotted this shelf over on CrunchGear, and I must admit, I love it. The UBoard USB board and shelf ($50) features a glass top and three USB ports on its side. There's even a cup holder that attaches to the side!
