Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

A while ago I started experimenting with the idea of using a Hipster PDA over a Moleskine for tracking tasks and notes. I was attracted to the fact that I could move the cards around, throw them away, and found the system very flexible with lots of templates.
However, I found that I simply used the todo template the most. The other day while browsing Staples I found the 3M Sortable Post-it. These products come in a variety of sizes and colors. They can be stuck like a post it but can be re-arranged in a stack.
I got the 3 x 4 cards. The are the perfect size, 1 inch shorter than an index card an perfect for jotting tasks and notes. With a little paper clip you can easily carrying around 10 - 20.
I love that I can just stick them anywhere. They are pretty cheap, and pretty darned neat. You can get them at Staples, Amazon etc.
