  • The Hit List

    The Hit List

    ...today's post is not about GTD, it's about a Mac application that utilizes part of the GTD workflow, called The Hit List. I've been using The Hit List as my GTD application since shortly after it went into public beta about a year ago and it has served me very well. Unfortunately, for that same amount of time, people have also been eagerly awaiting the iPhone app that goes with the program. And by eagerly I mean insane with angst.

  • Zombie Stuff

    Zombie Stuff

    If there is one thing we at Nerd Out Loud love unanimously (other than beer, of course), it's zombies. Seriously; how romantic is the idea that you'll one day go from dealing with the mindless, vapid bullshit we all busy ourselves with on a daily basis to kicking zombie ass the next?

    Warehouse 13

    Syfy's latest offering, Warehouse 13, has been keeping me coming back for more for the last seven episodes. The show follows two secret service agents, Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly), who go from being "regular" secret service agents to being hand picked by the (still) mysterious Mrs. Frederick (CCH Pounder) and seemingly banished to the more-secret-than-top-secret Warehouse 13. The mysterious warehouse turns out to be the repository for a myriad of artifacts from throughout history that posses some sort of supernatural or hyper-technological power.

    …and away we go!

    Here it is.  The blog.  It’s now been brought to life; a tiny, squirmy little infant bursting forthwith from the womb into the light of the internets. Thus begins Nerd Out Loud.  Ideally a place where nerds, of any class or none at all, can...
