<p><span id="more-277"></span>The demo goes over zebra striping, first-child/last-child, hovering, and just straight up ways of overcoming some still lingering cross-browser compatibility issues.  Hopefully you can gain something from it that can benefit you in your projects and websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://brandonbuttars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/main_ss.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-274" title="The Hit List" src="http://brandonbuttars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/main_ss.jpg" alt="The Hit List" width="554" height="330" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m a Mac guy and love to download and try out as many apps as I can get my hands on.  I&#8217;ve tried a few different GTD types of apps over the years, and I believe I&#8217;ve officially found my favorite, <a href="http://www.potionfactory.com/thehitlist/">The Hit List</a>.  It&#8217;s not at all what I expected my favorite to be, mostly because I&#8217;ve never seen a GTD app like this.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-273"></span><a href="http://brandonbuttars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ss1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-275" title="The Hit List" src="http://brandonbuttars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ss1-300x216.jpg" alt="The Hit List" width="300" height="216" /></a>It takes a different approach, at least from my perspective.  It&#8217;s hard to find a GTD app that allows for details, but doesn&#8217;t go overboard.  Or even a GTD app that isn&#8217;t too simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These are the things that I really like about <a href="http://www.potionfactory.com/thehitlist/">The Hit List</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ability to <strong>organize tasks</strong> into folders and/or projects.</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard</strong> of items due or soon to be due.</li>
<li>The <strong>tagging</strong> feature.</li>
<li>Ability to add <strong>sub-tasks</strong> like a sub-list item.</li>
<li>A built in <strong>timer</strong> to track the time it takes for each task.</li>
<li>The ability to do everything from you&#8217;re <strong>keyboard</strong>. (if you&#8217;re a &#8220;power user&#8221;)</li>
<li>It&#8217;s a <strong>Mac</strong> App.</li>
</ol>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I haven&#8217;t listed all the features it has, but those are just the ones I like thus far.  I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll start using more of them.  If you are a Mac user, I recommend you check out <a href="http://www.potionfactory.com/thehitlist/">The Hit List</a> to see if it&#8217;s something that can help keep you organized.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the weekend is over and it&#8217;s 1:30 Monday morning.  I just got done watching Inception and doing some dishes.  My family went to bed around 10, but I had a huge Sunday nap so I wasn&#8217;t as tired.  Inception is a pretty dang awesome movie.</p>
<p>This weekend we started our weekend off with my wife and I going to a Jazz game.  My boss gave us some awesome tickets and we definitely took advantage.  Jazz lost but it&#8217;s always fun to go to the game.  It was Tyrone Corbin&#8217;s first game coaching since Jerry Sloan retired a day or so before the game.  The Jazz have a lot of work to do if they want to represent the Jazz of past.</p>
<p>Church was good.  On Saturday I spent some time trying to do better at my church calling as Membership Clerk.  I kind of got a little motivated so hopefully I&#8217;ll do a better job at that.  Sunday I spent most my time updating records and cleaning records up.  Fun stuff.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m tired now so I&#8217;m just getting ready to hit the hay.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll have a good post to share in the near future.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re trying to make some extra money doing some things online and he&#8217;s been a big help and been a work horse.  I&#8217;m a recovering over-thinker.  He&#8217;s good at keeping it simple.  We discussed PicnicWith.Us and what we&#8217;re going to start doing there.  It&#8217;s our e-commerce site that is slowly coming together.  We can take orders but we&#8217;re barely starting to do SEO and trying to build links.</p>
<p>Anyways, thought I&#8217;d try to keep a good thing going by blogging.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll get some more design done tomorrow.  I&#8217;ve got a screaming 3 year old begging me to put him to bed.</p>
