They're releasing macOS a whole month earlier than usual, with fewer beta releases than usual. I believe this is the first time they will have released macOS and iOS on the same date.

When I got a job in academia and was faced with creating my first conference poster, I was amazed to discover PowerPoint is the customary software for creating them. It does a pretty good job, too.

This happens a lot in PDX and it makes me furious. It's like putting a hit out on the pedestrian crossing the street. I would like to see how the people honking their horns would like it if someone called for their death.

No, it's old, and an outdated mindset. Since 2004 Wikipedia has greatly matured and most educators have relaxed their stance on it. I'm a librarian and my take on Wikipedia is that it's a great starting point but you'd never want to cite it directly.

I miss Topic Maps.

Most todo apps don't really cater to the idea of a reusable list. Items effectively disappear once checked off, unless they're repeatable, in which case a new task is generated at the frequency you specify. There are lists of things that need doing repeatedly but not necessarily on a strict repeating schedule. Packing for travel and/or camping is a typical use case, as is a grocery list. You want a reusable prepopulated list of things you might need for any given trip.

This is excellent work! I've currently got all my reusable checklists in Remember the Milk, but they get lost in there among all my other hundreds of todos.

I'm always surprised how few todo apps seem to target reusable lists, it's definitely an overlooked niche. Back in the Palm Pilot and early iOS days, SplashData's SplashShopper app was fantastic at this, but they don't seem to be able to keep up with modern application development update/release cycles and it's slowly become unusable over time.

Anyway- you asked for feature requests.

1. Consider making lists organizable in some way -- make them nestable or categorizeable. Like, my travel checklist in RTM consists of multiple sub-lists: clothing, electronics, toiletries, medical, etc. Splash Shopper does this with a sortable category on each item.

2. Consider adding prepopulated lists, particularly for things like groceries where the list can have lots of common items, will likely be long, and building it from scratch may feel daunting.

3. Consider having separate views for all the items on the list vs. everything that currently needs checking off. Like, when I travel or go grocery shopping, I may not need everything on the whole list. Let me build a list from a bank of all the items in the list rather than forcing me to uncheck everything in order to reuse the list and then prune the stuff that I don't need on the list for this particular trip.

I think there was less awareness around ASD at the time and people didn’t really talk about it the way they do now. That said, it links to the classic “Fanspeak” at the bottom, which does mention Aspergers.
