Now that I have my precious Newton 2100 (which works like a portable version of Lotus Agenda) syncing with iCal (thanks everchanging software!)- theoretically , I'll be able to use it with 'Chandler' since it'll probably use standards based calendar and todo events...
I work with many small businesses where they'd love to have an integrated mail/calendar/todo system but don't have the $ to buy an exchange server (or they're Mac users who don't want to put up with Microsoft's on-again off-again Outlook for Mac crap).
I'm dreaming of a standards based system where we'll be able to send a cross-platform invite to a meeting (or todo) via email (ala iCal and Mozilla Calendar) in a peer to peer way, yet integrated with mail and a small scale todo/project/PIM system for tasking. Also imagine being able to form up small project group by subscribing to someone else's general or special project calendar or project sub-todo list regardless of platform (except for those Timex-Sinclair OS boys). Note: BTW this is the way we use iCal even in it's current crude state.
What will make this different? It'll be different if they build in Lotus Agenda-like features. For Pete's sake! Agenda came out in 1988 and no one has every really matched it! Huzza! Huzza! Kapor! Agenda is dead! Long live Agenda!
Should the UI be a big Wheel... of.... Fortune!® that spins and stops on the current running application where Vanna steps out in 3D to pantomime the results?:)
Perhaps a Microsoft Bob ('scuse me... *wretch*... there - I'm ok.. wait!...*buuuick!*... - ah, woof! I feel better now..) type interface where a room is emulated?
Maybe a blending of 2D, 3D and abstraction like Kai Krause used to do (where did he go?).
Maybe a highly modified version of Apple's Hotsauce?.
This seems to be like the weather, everyone complains about but no one seeks to boldly change it (ok , well the Chinese are working on the weather...)
Hours in front of a computer in a make believe world.
Does it count? Does Saint Peter check off the simulated good deeds and intentions and take off for the bad? Or does the time show up as blank holes in the real-world continuum when they get the big book out.
Sometimes when I listen to gamers I get the impression that given the opportunity to live in a Matrix-like world, many gamers would surely rather 'jack-in'... For good.
I was looking up some information about Sir Walter Raleigh and I came across a new word!

Your head!
Vapor's all there must be in there if you are proclaiming a recently announced project as vapor when it has not yet shown a vapor trail.

Who is the idiot that thought up the term WiFi?!?
Makes it sound like wireless stereo gear.
I'll bet it was that Ralsky bastard! Let's sign him up for more stuff! To the Lists!
You think this is a real proposal, or just a trial balloon?

Now if you want to talk about blank holes in the real-world continuum, let's talk about watching TV.
Zackly...
That's why I no longer have a TV, (my entertainment is now a mixture of real books, audible.com books and Netflix.com).
Simulated life.
Hours in front of a computer in a make believe world.
