Jeff Miller's Big Idea Creativity seeking form

I'm going to try a life hack experiment. I've found some interesting videos on MSDN Channel 9 that I would like to watch, like this one about Windows PowerShell. But, I don't have the time to watch them all right now. So I'm going to post them by using the Silverlight embedding feature of the Silverlight video player they use to batch them up and review later. And, as an added benefit, anyone that is interested can check out the collection too.

This technique can apply to more than just Microsoft videos. Certainly, YouTube or UStream.TV could benefit from this approach.

I'll be sure to tag the post with an appropriate topic-oriented tag, but I may also include a media-oriented tag like "Video" or "Video to Watch" so I can navigate them using my Drupal blog's taxonomy features.

So, without further ado, here is the embedded video about PowerShell:

Enjoy!

Remember The Milk is a site that manages your tasks. In a long list of task management tools, this one stands out by offering a high degree of integration with other systems by exposing its API, providing email "posting" capabilities, and a very helpful tagging system.

Here are some of the tools I currently use for task management:

• Remember The Milk - I'm trying this one, but it doesn't sync well with my Outlook/PDA approach right now.
• Microsoft Outlook

This "book" (in Drupal terms) includes content described by a number of phrases, all of which apply, at least in part:

• Getting Things Done/GTD
• personal organization and productivity
• life management skills
• life hacks

I'm cataloging this content here as an experiment. Partly with Drupal and partly with a non-wiki publishing format.
