Jott.com helps me get more done (or at least remember to get more done).

Tom sent me an invite to www.jott.com and I love it. There's a reason I use it daily: it rules. Jott is basically a personal assistant that ties your phone to your email.

IE 7 Beta 1 First Impressions

I like it. A lot. There are lots of reasons. Tabbed browsing, a built-in search bar (that defaults to google if you previously had the google toolbar installed) Pop-up blocking, phishing hueristics, and a more compressed UI means more space for meat in your browser (real estate for the actual page as...
