yeah that’s right. 2 posts in one night. i found two neat-o sites today and wanted to blog about them before i forgot:

• dailylit.com: this site lets you pick a book (mostly classics) and they’ll email you or update your rss reader with a new section each day. so you know exactly how many days it will take you to finish right from the start. you can also click a link on your email/rss entry to have the next section delivered ahead of time if you have some extra time or just can’t wait to find out what happens. you can pick what time you want it sent as well. pretty nifty. i’m starting out with uncle vanya and plan to move on to all those other books my russian teacher always told me to read but i never did. ah yes, reminds me of a song…

Hardly education
All them books I didn’t read
They just sat there on my shelf
Looking much smarter than me
-modest mouse, education

they played that song live, and it was uber fantastic, by the way.

• toggl.com: this is pretty much a dream come true for anyone who bills hourly and does most of their working online. set up your clients and tasks, and each one has a start and stop button which lets you basically punch in and out of each project. it sounds like a hassle, but i’m the type of person who would rather do 10 minutes of work for free than spend the time it takes to track those 10 minutes. who knows how many hours i’ve thrown out the window. no more.

end of nifty link round up.
