I discovered a very cool little webtool the other day: Backpack.
It’s a neat little website that lets you organize to-do lists, notes, and reminders online, and then (the really cool part) lets you share them with other people. Leslie and I use it to keep a to-do list of what needs to get done around the house. We both can edit the list, check things off as done, and leave notes. I use it at work with other people who are working on the same projects as me. It’s also got an RSS feed option.
It’s like having a dry-erase board that you can access anywhere. I don’t know how many of you are surrounded by computers all day, every day, but for those of us that are, Backpack is incredibly useful.
looks promising, so far I just make lists on notepad and when I need thundy to keep up or do something, I paste it into an msn to him..
hooray here’s one now!

I think you’re going to need to take a day or so off to get all of that done.
The backpack seems to be working, but I’m still finding little slips of paper with reminders on them. From 3 months ago.
