Apple Finally Fixes Email!
“A lot of times we want to keep a To Do list, you can select a note and say make it a To Do and they show up like this. But it’s even more powerful than this. I can take any email, any document and say make it a to do. But it’s not just Mail. Any application can tie into it and contribute To Dos and view To Dos. So iCal is tied into this. All of your apps can tie into this and have one systemwide To Do service.”
Live from WWDC 2006: Steve Jobs keynote – Engadget
This all I’ve wanted in an email app for about the last 8 years. Just take a message and make it a ‘To Do’. Seems easy enough, but I’ve never really found anythign that could actually do it with subjecting me to a lot of pain. I hope that this works as well as they make it seem. If it does, I’ll be switching in short order.

MP3 Player and Recorder from SanDisk
Sandisk’s new Sansa e200 MP3 players do more than play music. They can capture it with a built-in FM tuner or record audio through a tiny embedded microphone. The one-button recording option is ideal for a lecture or for taking case notes without the need to fumble with an external microphone. Sounds can be played back through headphones or transferred to a computer.

Is Classcaster CLE Worthy?
I recently received the latest update from West LegalEdcenter regarding the recent additions to their online CLE (continuing legal education) programs. The message featured the following:
Award Winning ‘Justice Talking’ Programs
from NPR Now Available on West LegalEdcenterNPR’s award-winning ‘Justice Talking’ programs are now available for CLE credit at West LegalEdcenter! Created by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and hosted by veteran NPR reporter Margot Adler, the series features an entertaining and educational mix of voices and opinions from the nation’s leading advocates, legal scholars, and policymakers.
Select from a list of more than 25 recent ‘Justice Talking’ programs or choose our featured program, recorded earlier this month.
Of course I followed the link. It took me a page offering to sell me downloadable versions of NPR’s Justice Talking series for $60 a piece. $60! Just listen to this and receive CLE credit in 19 states. Wow! I then decided to delve a bit. I surfed over to the Justice Talking site and found the very same episodes available for free download. Of course just downloading them doesn’t mean you can get the credit:) That would be too easy.
Anyway, I gave a listen to the free NPR downloads and it occured to me that there is not a lot of difference between Justice Talking and some of the podcasts on Classcaster. So what if we licensed the podcasts on Classcaster to awest for use in CLE? Of course only with permission of the authors. Something to think about.
