How I Work--what I have learned so far (send us your profile)

I've spoken with all of the participants in our "How I Work" series and we're all having the same reaction. Not only is it cool to see how our peers do things, but you can actually put this stuff into practice. After reading Brian Akers' profile, I immediately started using OmniOutliner for my todo list. Now if only I could somehow sync it to a web interface...

All of us were surprised how many others use Macs and Treos. In fact, it seems that those who use Macs use Treos and those who use Windows lean towards BlackBerry. To that end, none of us have gotten a damn thing for free from either company. One of my Bschool chums works for Palm and thinks he can pry a 700p out of their coffers using the family discount, but not for free. I still can't believe Cingular and RIM haven't hit us up to test drive the 8700, which Peter was raving about and has made me rethink my Palm choice.

Anyway, if you want to do your "How I work" just follow the format we used for the others and send them on over.

FWIW: this is How I Work.

Just last night I purchased OmniOutliner. I fell in love with the product after reading about it in the "How I Work" series.

Dave, you read my mind -- I *just* finished writing up my own, complete with "I find others' fascinating, and nobody asked me, but here's mine!".
