Doit.im AIR

I am a fan of this practical and lightweight (1,4mb) task organizer. I am really shallow about software  and the GUI is very attractive. With a simple and easy to understand and operate interface Doit.im receive high approval from me.

Doit.im
Doit.im as a free and powerful task management system, which has a deep insight of GTD, and aimed at create a pressure-free yet efficient task management.

This is what the creators have to say about their invention, Doit.im AIR, which is and promised to forever be; free:

Under the guidance of the excellent task management principles of GTD, Doit.im conducts you to have your head cleared, to get rid of various pending ideas on your mind, and helps you organize tasks and focus on items in hand, so that you can closely track the process of your work and feel easy when faced with bulks of complicated projects. With no pressure but efficiency, you’ll further enjoy your work and achieve unexpected success.

Buying an apartment

Allow me to daydream. There are still a few months left before we will buy an apartment but already I am mentally decorating and fantasizing over the day-to-day life in an apartment of our own.

We have been living off our families for about a year so there is nothing I want more than a home to call my own.

Location, number of rooms and price class are settled and we have started to look online for appropriate searches. These two images are from one of the apartments we have seen and I’m guessing what we’ll buy won’t be too far off:

Dolan’s Cadillac

Warningthis post contains movie spoilers.

Dolan's Cadillac 2009Thriller from 2009 written by Stephen King starring Christian Slater and Emmanuelle Vaugier. Rated 5.9/10 out of 904 votes at imdb, I think deserves a higher rating than that.

Dolan’s Cadillac is the story about one young mans attempts to seek to avenge his wife’s death after she is murdered by a Las Vegas mobster. His wife witnesses an execution in the desert and is then targeted by the mobsters who commited it, notorious Vegas crime lord Jimmy Dolan who’s vast wealth stems from his human trafficking operations. Dolan succeeds in having Elizabeth killed before she can testify against him and hence Dolan goes free, and Robinson must avenge Elizabeth’s death.

It’s not the usual revenge flick with much action and nothing more. This movie had originality and I can recommend it.

Rating: ★★★☆☆
