Derek Wyatt’s Screencasts – By far the best series on learning Vim I’ve seen.  Must see.

  • Concentrate – My Pomodoro timer for bursts of highly concentrated work.
  • Wallet notepad and mini pen – For writing down “stuff” that comes to mind.
  • MacVim – Text Editor for editing files of projects, goals, and accomplishments.
  • Dropbox – For syncing project files and folders between multiple computers.
  • Two Tray Inbox – One tray for incoming and one for ‘to read’.
  • Pen and paper – For mind mapping and collecting.
  • Books, Blogs, and Audiobooks – For sharpening the axe.

DejaMenu

Found a cool little app to help with mouse-less navigation in OSX. It’s call DejaMenu and it can be found here:

It’s very simple to use. The default hot-key combination is command-shift-m to bring up DejaMenu which displays a dialog of the current apps menu bar actions. I’ve been looking for a good mouse-less way to access the menu bar. I just wish it had vi-like navigation instead of using the arrow keys.
