#32It's not a product, but I am trying to get better at meditation. Being able to calm yourself is an invaluable skill for a hacker.
I've been thinking of trying to work on this myself. Both as a way to manage stress in my life and as a way to put myself in a better creative mindset. Any good resources/tips?
A good intro book is Zen Mind, Beginners Mind. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590308492/ref=oh_details_o...

I'm a meditation novice so take this with a grain of salt, but the only "For Dummies"-book I've ever enjoyed was "Meditation For Dummies".
It's not a heavy read like some meditation tomes can be but it's not very dumbed down either (IMHO), and it recognizes that some people are interested in the spiritual parts, some the philosophical, while some are only interested in the practical. The book has them all to a good extent, but helps you navigate to the parts that are of use to you.
I'm sure YMMV and different books suit different people, but this one worked well for me. I recommend it, but regardless of what resource you use: There is calm to be found, and it can feel great. Good luck!
Edit: Grammar.

#34Working on Ghostnote which is a contextual notes & todo app. It allow you to add notes to Folders, Files, Applications, Documents open in applications and even URLs. Don't think there is anything like it out there. It will look kind of like this: http://grab.by/xJIG
This sounds interesting, but the URL isn't working (404). Nor is ghostnote.com/uploads (same 404), and ghostnote.com redirects to "ghostnote.net the drum builder's community".
