jet boat

If you want to cool off this summer check out willamettejet and Multnomah Falls. I highly recommend it. We went there for our Aniversary. We saw two eagles resting near their nest. I was surprised because the boat was very loud. Later, I saw an Osprey around the bend of the river. The Captain of the boat was very entertaining. He told us about the flood of 1996. Most of the house boats were destroyed. I remember being in downtown on first and second and the ground floor was flooded. The cranes float over the Meriwether Condo Project being built. Some of the units are appraised at $560,000. It is of course in the flood zone. People have bought most of the units even before it was finished.

The Captain told us about the Weaverly golf club. A pioneer brought apple seeds to start an Apple Orchard. People laughed at him because Oregon had so many trees already. He planted them anyway. Just in time for the Gold Rush. Food was in high demand by the people coming here to look for gold. He sold an apple for a dollar and made a fortune. He had two sons. Both thought that farming was not of very high socail status. When he died the sons cut down the trees to make a polo field. They went bankrupt two years later.

Sunday we went to Mutnomah Falls. It was very crowded. I took them to Multnomah Falls Sunday and it was so packed. I couldn’t find parking at first but then after one circle around the lot we found one

Zoho Write and Planner GTD

July 10, 2006 Tuesday

I am trying out the new Zoho word processing and web publishing software application:

Hello lexly87,

Welcome to ZohoWriter, your friendly on line word processor!

• Create, format, & edit documents online with a powerful WYSIWIG editor
• Access & share your documents from anywhere using just your browser
• Lock your documents while in shared mode
• Post to your blogs (Blogger/Typepad/LiveJournal/WordPress) from within Zoho Writer
• Export your docs in word, pdf, sxw, odt, txt, rtf & html formats
• Periodic auto-saving of your documents to prevent data loss
• Spell check, tag your documents for ease of use

And do much more...


I think it's better because it can publish to several blogs of my choosing. In fact, I published this entry through Zoho.

The other exciting Zoho application is the Zoho Planner. Zoho Planner is very similar to Backpack. The major difference is that I can add on unlimited pages without having to pay for it. Here's a sample page of how I use it in the GTD mode.

I have it/redux to thank for showing me Zoho. He explains very well the office 2.0. I didn't even know that delicious is a web 2.0 applications. I'm very ignorant but curious about the web.

Renaissance of internet (Ren of Net)

There's a Renaissance of internet tools to help people organized their experience. Yesterday I tried Flock. In the past few months my discovery of del.icio.us and wordpress has changed the way I'm working with the web. I'm working on a visual chart of how these interfaces relate to each other. It was about a year ago that I got a pro account on flickr. Flickr links to my Sunday Blogspot and Firefox. I have discovered the joys of tags. Tag has proliferated into blogs which has always been a wish list of features I would like for a blog. Tag has invaded the bookmarks of website. The genius of Delicious is that it has taken on organizing people's web browsing with tag and then allows users to share their options and preference with a social group of friends and families and links to other communities. Friendster is very influential in this matter. These tools have humanized the experience of web surfing. It proves that people prefer to interact with each other. We are a social being. We love to communicate. Flock promises to be a social web browser. It’s an exciting times to be blogging. There are so many choices out there and the few have risen to the top. It’s a very democratic playing field where people vote, choices in how they navigate and influence an industry. People can vote for the tops stories in a website call digg. People can subscribe to blogs and other news sites.

Dashes: He is speaking about blog in a meaningful way. Vox is a new way to blog. I'm always in search of a good blog application to use. I like to think of myself as a diarist. I like to be obssessive about journaling and diaries. These are some of the tools that I've found useful in my diary activities. Any Diarist would love to have a nice calendar. My variety is 30boxes.com Another popular site for word processing is Writely.

del.icio.us tool to organize blogger Tags

http://del.icio.us/lexly87/Blogspotart
Subject: tag blog entries. I have three years worth of writings and links, some of it good, most of it bad. My goal is to do a spring cleaning on this site. Please tolerate the mess.
I've decided to use del.icio.us as a tag organization tool for my Blogspot blog. It's hard to find a free blog site which allows me to organize according to tag. If you know of any free blog site which has tag feature to organized blogs, let me know.

Update: I found a blog which does tag and other features which I'll have to explore. One features is the RSS feed to Flickr. wordpress
I've added to my number of growing blogs tests pages. Blogger is still very good to use in conjunction with Flickr. Blogger also allows me to change the dates.



Here's the note that started me thinking.

Entry for June 09, 2006

Ideas #1

Ways of using delicious:

Research my own website and use de.lic.ious to book mark and organized the post on the older blogs that have been buried in Sunday in the days before tagged entries. I'm also using writely use tags to organize and archive my writings on-line. Tag is the next best thing to slice bread. flickr uses tags to organized photos. I used it the other day to decide my slide collection to submit to art competitions. flickr organized all of the images I tagged as nap for New American Paintings and then I can post a link or use the blogger button to show on my blog.

I posted yahoo360 the other day on delicious and found that there were 30 other del.icio.us users also using 360.

Using delicious to research blank paper notebooks that I’m interest in with the design cover.

Idea #2

Since I like the style of my Photography website, why not start another blog using the same design?

Happy 4th of July

Mike Rohde's Custom Moleskine Planner on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I'm inspired by your post too Mike Rohde, I use a pencil because i make mistakes as i mark off the days. I use a red pen to mark off the holidays.

I did not get my hands on the 2006 pocket planner so i'm making one to keep track of personal events of the year so far and the next half year of 2006. then i thought why not go back to 2005 and make a similar book to remember the wonderful events of my life 05'.
