I had a coffee with Tim Sneath today.
It was good to catch up. He told me lots of things, and he gave me a demo of a really cool WPF app call RIPT.
Since I am always on the lookout for WPF apps, I had to download it and it is really really sweet.
Organize your thoughts, tasks, inspirations, ambitions and so much more. If you’ve ever made a list, torn a page from a magazine or bookmarked a Web page “for future reference,” Ript is the tool for you. It puts the “fun” back in functionality, so you can get more done, in less time… with less stress. Rip just about anything. Part scrapbook, part “to-do” list (or to-buy list), Ript mimics the actions of ripping, piling and arranging scraps of information. If you can see it on your computer, you can “rip” it. Simply drag and drop images and text from the internet or your computer and arrange them however you please — making it easy to compile, print and share your handiwork.

Useful and looks good too - what a combination
I got myself a chumby

My life wont be the same again
I got myself a Lifecam VX-3000 today
Pretty Cheezy huh!
It works great with the WebCam Sidebar Gadget
JohnMont has the news
Popfly Beta Today Today, Steve Ballmer announced at the Web 2.0 Summit that Popfly has moved from closed alpha to open beta; we've lifted the invitation-only restriction and anyone with a Live ID can now browse to the site, create an account, and start building and embedding mashups. So what's new in this release? The Popfly Team blog has a good list of features, but the one I'm happiest with is the performance on embedded applications.

I walked to a meeting on Friday afternoon and along the way, I was inspired to take a few photos (with my new phone) of the Colours of Autumn - or should I say the Colors of Fall??
