The Z Files

I was elated to read a MacUser post today about Anxiety, a new OS X to-do manager app with a really attractive price of $nada. I was less elated to discover that it requires Leopard. Just my luck. I guess I’ll have to set that aside until I get my new iMac, although when exactly that might be is anyone’s guess.

Waking up is often the toughest part of my day. I’ve thought long and hard about how to kick myself out of bed in the morning. For a time, I considered bringing a Clocky home. (I still may!) Today, I was thrilled to find Alarm Clock. It’s an OS X alarm clock (really!?) app that tucks away in the menu bar and plays whatever you want from your iTunes library. I’m not entirely optimistic about its chances at getting me up in the morning, but I’ll give it a shot.
