I think, but I’m not sure, that I managed to get automatic tweeting to happen when I post. Let’s see.

A former colleague of mine posted about another “Women in Technology” meetup happening this Tuesday over at General Assembly, so I immediately booked a ticket. I know some of the panelists from Girl Geeks, but a few (the guys) are new to me. Should be an interesting event!

Hilariously, I’m developing a reputation at work for being some sort of “champion networker,” as if going to all these events is a thought out career strategy. The reality is that I’m a dorky extrovert married to a misanthropic introvert, so I have to grab social opportunities when I can lest I get turned into a complete hermit. And hey, they usually have free booze.

Drop / The Blueprint – An iPad-connected kitchen scale. I think I’ve seen everything now. (No, I’m not ordering this. It’s a step too wanky, even for me.)

Over the years I’ve recommended the Toodledo to-do app to many people. I liked that it synced between my iPhone and my browser, and I liked how it let me organise my tasks into separate lists. I even subscribed as a premium user for a few years. But lately there hasn’t been a lot of development on it, and the design was starting to look really, really dated. (Not to mention the fact that I hated the tablet layout.) I was also annoyed that sharing To Do lists with the Snook wasn’t free and required third-party apps for Android. So with all that in mind, I started looking around and quickly realised that Todoist looks like the new best-of-breed. It’s attractive, fully responsive, and has versions for more than a dozen different platforms. Sub-tasks and collaboration is free too! Within an hour I had recreated all our existing lists, added the Snook as a collaborator, and installed apps on just about every device we have. (Sure, they pitch their premium upgrade pretty hard, but I simply used Stylebot to hide the upgrade links until I decide to do it.) The last step was to kill my Toodledo account and remove the bookmark. End of an era, really. I feel more productive already.

Note: this was a completely unsolicited endorsement. I’m just a productivity geek who likes sharing tools that are pretty and useful.

FACT FINDER: What happened to Deer Forest? | Latest News – Home – Something clicked in my brain tonight and I started singing the Deer Forest jingle tonight. “What ARE you on about?” Rodd said as usual. So I looked it up, expecting to add it to our itinerary on our next trip to Indiana. Except I found out it’s UNDER INVESTIGATION and the Feds confiscated an entire herd of 150 MALNOURISHED DEER and the current owner is the DODGIEST SHYSTER EVER and now my WHOLE CHILDHOOD IS RUINED.

Whole30 Resources Roundup | theclothesmakethegirl – I’ve been thinking about doing a Whole30 for August. But it’s going to start on the 2nd, because we’re going to Bentley tomorrow. *rubs hands*

Classic Primus lineup reuniting for Willy Wonka tribute album, tour, chocolate · Newswire · The A.V. Club – This is weird. How have I not heard about this before?

What gets done is what gets done – Medium – Yeah. Timely essay. I know I need to do this. My manager tells me all the time.

How the Paleolithic Diet Got Trendy – I don’t think a week is really a fair trial. I also laughed when the writer mentioned trying to make paleo pancakes and muffins. Just learn to appreciate vegetables and fruits and meat! Franken-foods are almost never a good idea.
