I’m a bit late to the game here but I just wanted to post about my new favorite app: Wunderlist. I had seen screenshots of this multi-platform productivity app around the web but somehow I kept forgetting to look into it. Now that I have I’m truly a convert and have it downloaded on my Mac and iPhone. The idea is simple: To-Do Lists. You can create multiple lists, share them with people, quickly assign due dates with informal language like “next wednesday” or “tomorrow.”

A product of a small Berlin based start up called 6 Wunderkinder (6 Wonder Kids), they have received some major funding from Niklas Zennström (co-founder of Skype)…yeah just $4.2 million. Anyways, I’m really looking forward to their new app Wunderkit.

Here’s a video demo of the updated Wunderlist, which shows advanced features I didn’t know about.

Permanent Obsession: Citroën DS

The most beautiful car ever designed in my humble opinion is the Citroën DS (’55-75). I had never seen one in person until recently, as I was walking down Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, and I can asure you it’s absolutely jaw-dropping. I’ve never seen one of these in the states, so thankfully I took a photo.

{From wiki:}

The Citroën DS was manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.

Wise Words: Vonnegut

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The Arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
