Weekend Coffee Break – Tasks, Facebook & Design

The Good Sort of Anxiety – Anxiety is an app that offers “lightweight to-do management” for OS X. It’s designed to integrate with the task list that’s already maintained by iCal and Mail, but without requiring you to keep a huge window open all the time to see what’s going on. Instead, it gives you a menubar item and a tiny floating list window that will fade away when you don’t need it.
It’s a Leopard-only application, but if you’ve upgraded, it’s worth a look. Also, if you’ve moved to OmniFocus for your heavy-duty GTD management, there’s a nice post from 20Seven showing how to use the two together in a unified system.
One for the Mac Facebook Users – FacebookSync is an application designed to compare your OS X address book to your Facebook contacts list and update the address book with photos and other info from Facebook. Unfortunately it’s limited in how much info it can download by the Facebook TOS, but it’s still a nice idea.
Blogs Don’t Have to be Ugly – Adii has compiled a list of 53 top blog designs of 2007, and there’s quite a bit of innovative and attractive design work to be found there. I’m not just saying that because the Web Worker Daily redesign comes in at #13 on the list, either.

Thanks for the mention! :) And WWD deserved the 13th spot – I love this design…
Congratulations for making it to the list then! But I have to admit that the idea of Anxiety excites me more. One of the things I like about Apple is that you can always rely on their applications to work with one another in a smooth medley. And the fact that you will really like using them all together.
