Sheesh, Easton; 130 points? Can’t I just settle for 10 points for a “mildly improved blog”?

Just kidding! Great list, my friend! Looks like I’ve got a bit of work to do… :-\

Hi Easton,

Thanks for the generous offering here. It’s a little intimidating – how big is this project going to be?

Nevermind, I’m adding it to the GTD list.
