WunderList - A list management tool

I signed up for Wunderlist today.  It's pretty cool.  It fixes a problem I was having: notes jotted down in multiple electronic places: iPhone notes, gmail drafts, & txt files on my personal and work computers.  Now I can put everything in Wunderlist and I can access it from a web browser, windows program, or an app on my iPhone.  No more gmail drafts that I use as editable lists and never send!  Just Wunderlists now!

My Wunderlist

It's got some nifty features that make really easy to use; Like emailing lists into the program, just email me@wunderlist.com, the subject becomes the list name, and each line in the email becomes an item in the list (until there's a blank line).  When you go into the program later, you can drag and drop the order, and assign due dates if you like.  This makes it really easy to transfer data in, especially if you're like me and store lists in gmail drafts... I know, most of you are normal and write lists down on paper...

Stocking up on camping gear

I've been stocking up on some new camping gear for the last few months.  So far I've added the following to my gear collection:

Gossamer Gear G-4 (home made version, more info here):
Here's a picture of it in progress:

 I got the kit from Quest Outfitters, but used 500d Cordura instead of the 330d for extra durability.  I also improvised the top Y strap because I didn't like just the roll top.  It's still under 1 lb.  Here's some photos of the finished project:

It was a fun little project, I tested it out on a quick overnight in Yellow River State Forest, Iowa.  Here is a picture from that trip:

My other big addition to my gear was a new tent.  Its the Tarptent Rainshadow 2.  It hasn't shown up yet, but I can't wait!
