Agenda Redux

I've been involved in another project for awhile and I wanted to tell you about it. The project is Agenda Redux. Basically, we are creating a new version of Lotus Agenda for the web. My friend Sonjaya Tandon started up the project and ask me to be a part of it. Recreating something like Agenda is something I've wanted to do for awhile, so I had to be a part of it. Sonjaya used to work on Agenda when he worked for Lotus and we worked together in Park City. Plus, we're doing it in Ruby on Rails, so that's bonus. I invite you to google Lotus Agenda and find out what it's about. No personal information manager since has been able to do what Agenda could do. People still use it and go to great lengths to get an old text based UI application running under Windows, Linux, OS X, you name it. That's how good it is. Check it out and follow the Agenda Redux project. We're still in the early stages, but things are moving along nicely.

Superman Returns

I saw Superman Returns this weekend. It was very good and I'd call it one of the most fun movies I've seen in awhile. It was awesome to see Superman do his thing with the latest special effects. Also, it's refreshing to see a movie where the hero is a true hero. There are no shades of grey with Superman. He tries to do the right thing all the time and behave in respectful, polite manner. Call it corny, or whatever, but I found it refreshing. I like my heroes to be ideal. Especially Superman.
