Random Updates, Apps, And Ramblings
Thought I’d jot out a few notes on new products, before they slipped my mind:
IWantSandy is a niftyneato virtual reminder/personal assistant application.
Why mention Yet another Web2.0 reminder/task list program? ’cause this one is *different*. Instead of an application, you’re working with “Sandy”, your virtual assistant. And Sandy speaks your language, understanding your natural conversational tone. Send her an email asking her to “remind me to pick up the dry cleaning on Thursday” or “remember that the boss is allergic to perfumes”, and Sandy will she’ll sort the info into the right category, add it to a to-do list, set appointments, confirm it, and send you (and your contacts) a reminder according to your preferences.
This might be the organizational web-app I wind up actually using. Visit Sandy Now

Mind Tweakingly Cool Stuff.
You may have noticed the new blog header (if not, look UP). There will be more gradual improvements ’round here as time goes on. I’m not planning a complete redesign right now, just a few fix-r-up projects.
You can also look forward to a new Mindtweaks Flash toy (silly fun), more info on the online courses I have in development, and the end (I promise) of the Enlightenment-Neurogenesis/Eckhart-Oprah series.

inpowr:
Personal development goal setter, tracker, planner.
Most goal trackers are very concrete, left brained sorts of things that suit linear/business goals. But Inpowr centers around how you feel. It starts off with questions to help you evaluate your satisfaction in several areas of life, then helps you set, follow and track goals. It’s still in pretty early beta, but it looks interesting. Check it out at inpowr.com

Brain Rules:
Applied brain-science, made readable.
My copy of the book/DVD arrived this weekend, and I’m even more impressed than I’d expected.
This is the book I’d have written if I had the science chops, more insight and a better sense of humor. Lots more info is coming soon, but soon, I’m too busy reading it to write about it just now. While I’m finishing that, go check out the videos available at the Brain Rules website.
So there you have it.
Random Tweaky Goodness.
