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.

How Do You Prefer to Holiday Shop?
While perusing the news, I noticed two seemingly conflicting stories right beside each other on the same site. The headlines: "Online Retail Thriving This Holiday Season" and "A Site to Help People Shop Online Attracts Investors."
The two articles aren't actually contradictory, the first is a welcome optimistic look at the future of e-commerce with Forrester Research reporting that most online retailers turned a profit in 2008 as business continues to grow.

Ernarae's Blinged-Out Homemade iPhone Case
Check out this blinged-out iPhone case that reader ernarae created:
It took me three hours to make this, with a mix of Swarovski crystals and rhinestones. It was worth the wait, I had to wait overnight before I could put it on my iPhone.

If you're on the market for a new ride, but can't seem to cut through all the mumbo jumbo of the auto reviews, check out Honk. It's a place that real consumers (like you and me) head to submit our unfiltered opinions on vehicles for others to read before buying.

Get Free MP3s From Amazon — No Strings Attached
When I first read on Lifehacker that you can head on over to Amazon and get $3 worth of MP3 tracks for free, I was like — there's no way.
But, I tested it out for myself, and in a few clicks of the mouse, I've now expanded my November playlist with a couple hot new songs.
All you have to do is go here and follow the simple instructions to get your $3 credit.
Are Facebook Photos Fair Game For Insurance Companies?
I just came across a story about a woman in Canada who lost insurance benefits because of a photo posted on Facebook. The woman was on medical leave from her job due to severe depression, and was receiving monthly disability payments from an insurance company. After she stopped receiving payments, she called her insurance company, who told her that she should be available to work because of photos she posted on Facebook that showed her looking happy and having a good time — hardly experiencing the crippling depression that kept her from going to work.
