I've been using Things to manage my todo lists recently. I like the simplicity and ease of use of the app and even in beta, it covers most of what I want from a task management application. One of the reasons I like it is that is uses an XML file for storing all the content, which makes it easy for me to process the data if there is a feature Things doesn't support. The other day I wanted to print out my to-do list and Things doesn't really have much support for printing yet, so I decided to write a little script to parse the data file and print it out to text.

I bought some new music online the other night. It was easy, cheap, and the songs appeared directly in my iTunes library and synced up with my iPod without a hitch as usual. I've done this many times before so it wasn't really noteworthy, except this time I didn't buy any of the music on iTunes Music Store. And I don't think I will again.
