So between using my desktop, my old laptop, my ipod, and computers at work/campus, I've found it's much easier to do most things using we applications so that I can get to everything from wherever. Everyone knows about Google Mail/Calendar/Docs/Reader/Shower, but there's some non Google sites I've found for some of the things gmail can't do.
- Remember the Milk - This really isn't anything more than a todo list, but there is a gadget to add it in to Gmail/Google calendar (you have to enable gadgets in the Labs menu) and it syncs with Ipod Touch/Iphones. The interface is a little clunky, but I haven't found anything keeps my tasks synced arcoss everywhere I need them.
- Mint - Mint.com helps you handle all of you personal finances, grabbing information from your bank accounts and credit cards and putting it together to help you manage your spending. It's got alot of nice budgeting features and tells you how much your spending in different categories each month, as well as alot of fancy JavaScript eye candy. I've read alot of reviews about how great the service is, and it seems to be very secure.
- Mind Miester - If you've ever had trouble remembering details for projects or keeping your ideas organized, brain maps are a great way to keep track of things. Mind Miester is an online brain mapping application that is very easy to use. The interface is fast and intuitive, and there are alot of keyboard shortcuts. The free account lets you keep up to 6 maps, which seems to be plenty.
Nither mint.com or mind miester offer ipod application yet, but I've found that I've never really needed them, as I tend not to work on my budget during class. Let me know if you found anything online that makes your life easier.
