Fupi URLs are are short URLs that automatically redirect to destinations that you choose. By creating a Fupi URL you can add destinations with long URLs to programs like Twitter, Pownce or send them along in emails. You can also password protect your Fupi URL. The url fupi.us only takes up 7 characters making it an ideal domain for a short url service. Plus, the Fupi algorithm for URLs is designed to create the smallest possible sequence of characters. Enjoy!

Been getting frustrated with the interface for iGTD, so last night I went looking for an alternate (non-web based) solution. I found Midnight Inbox while searching the Lifehacker archives, watched the screencast and decided to purchase. So far, I’ve been pretty happy.

Midnight Inbox helps you work smarter, not harder, by organizing your projects, email messages, files, contexts and tasks so that you can always be on top of your world. Users of Mac OS X Tiger will find its clean lines and elegant typography make it the best in its class for keeping lists and notes.

P.S. Sorry for the large gap in posts, will try to keep it more consistent.
