This is so appropriate for today’s government problem with spending.
The Socialist Liberal mentality of the Democrats back in the 1930s never solved anything but put the country into more debt… same as now… I just don’t see any way out other than to get involved in another World War (that’s what brought our economy back last time…) jk

I’ve started using Twitter to stay in contact with friends, colleagues, etc.
Twitter is… that’s a hard question. And for people who haven’t tried it the reaction is usually the same. “So what’s the big deal?” – in fact, I was in that very boat not too long ago. I opened up a Twitter account… looked around, then did nothing with it.
A couple of weeks ago I again started and this time I finally ‘Got It‘ and have my software called ‘Tweetdeck’ on my Macintosh running in startup mode and it’s always on.
It is a way to stay in touch, learn about new things, and socially network. Sometimes the ‘tweets’ are boring, useless, or offensive. But it’s a new way for me to keep a finger on the pulse of my industry. I also use it to ‘watch’ the BYU Lacrosse games I can’t get to. Some of the folks watching the game send a stream of ‘tweets’ letting all of us who ‘follow’ the @BYULax account to follow along with the games.
I use a program called ‘Tweetie’ on my iPhone rather than have the tweets come in via text messages.
Or on my Mac it is Tweetdeck.
It’s kind of like micro-blogging…

From Wikipedia.
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user’s profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, Twitterfon, TweetDeck and feedalizr. The service is free to use over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
I’ve gone through an entire series of To Do managers. On my mission I used these ‘Do It’ cards I kept in my shirt pocket. Then back in my university days I used a full-page system from the very first Franklin planner. Moved on to the Daytimer 1/2 page size. Palm Pilot, Microsoft Outlook, and probably 15 other systems.
After moving to the Macintosh last summer I spent some time trying different To Do managers… none seemed to do what I wanted. I especially wanted a nice fast sync to my iPhone, and something that worked with the way I work.
I think in ‘projects’ and ‘where’ – something that would let me keep all those items that were errands in the same area together, then later see them all together.
I’ve found my latest tool. It’s called ‘Things’ – and also comes in an iPhone format.
I can strongly recommend it to anyone with a Macintosh. I especially like the simple quick way to add a new item as so as it pops into my head (ctrl-option-space) and then I can later re-organize them, and prioritize them, and assign them to specific dates, or even just drop it into a ‘someday’ category.
Syncing to the iPhone is fast, simple and easy – I can enter a new To Do on my iPhone and then it shows up on the Mac… or vice versa.
Give it a try! – here’s a short video on Things
