Schneier on Security (417) permalink
Now this is clever: "I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour," said Mike, who saw a Craigslist ad last week looking for workers for a road maintenance project in Monroe. He said he inquired and was e-mailed back with instructions to meet near the Bank of America in Monroe at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He also was told to wear certain work clothing.

- SFSlim said: Clever. Reminds me of the jazz violinist and noted practical joker Joe Venuti who once called fifteen upright bassists for a (non-existent) gig. He instructed each of them to go to a certain intersection (which happened to be downstairs from the hotel room Joe was staying in, in view of his window) at a specific time, and to bring their instrument. Then Joe just waited and watched the confusion as bass player after bass player converged on the streetcorner.
- salim said: This scheme has inspiration, or at least a tip o' the hat to the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.

The crucial thing for any given GTD apps is it must be anywhere but invisible. “Be anywhere” means you can access it anytime you have something popup in your head. “Invisible” means its operation (to add/remind task) must be less obstruction for you ...Shared by Patrick (17)Contribute comment -

permalinkKennt man ja. Man ist wahlweise in einem Gespräch, einem Telefonat, einem Meeting, beim gemeinsamen Essen. Plötzlich klingelt beim Gegenüber das Telefon. Manche werden hektisch, andere sind schon ganz abgebrüht. Und dann der kurze, spannende Moment: Geht er ran oder drückt er weg?

Mag sein, allerdings muß man sich schon entscheiden: Den Anruf anzunehmen ist mindestens ebenso unhöflich, den aktuellen Gesprächspartnern gegenüber. ...Shared by Patrick (17)
