On our Posterous site, we previously discussed ReQall, a task manager and reminder system that allows you to record tasks with your voice, using some pretty impressive voice transcription. But why stop with tasks, calendaring, and reminders? What if you could use your voice to do much more, such as to send email and text messages, listen to and send messages on Twitter, and have web sites be read to you? Well, you can, using Dial2Do, a service that lets you call a phone number, and perform certain tasks with your voice. Read on for the myriad of ways in which you can use Dial2Do to stay on top of your life.

Yes, I know I used the same line in our GTD in Evernote post — but this article has nothing to do with GTD and everything to do with not having to login to 10 different email accounts every day. And I like Lord of the Rings… A lot. In any case, if you want to make your life a bit easier, and still keep all of your other accounts intact for logging in to their various attached services, Gmail can be set up to automatically check your email accounts from across the web; importing and organising the messages as best suits your personal needs.

These are the days where people are often attached to their machinery for hours and hours and sometimes days at a time; and because you geeky folks out there reading this post are so very well informed, you are probably equally aware of the rise in health issues that are related to said machinery. That’s right, I’m talking everything from arthritis, to heart attacks, to severe anxiety linking back, in many ways, to that thing attached to that soul-sucking monitor on your desk (or lap) — especially if you work from home. Which I do.
So that, in conjunction with my current bout with a very annoying cold that I was only too glad to confirm was not Swine Flu, inspired a small amount of research on maintaining a healthy outlook as one of today’s trending geek-boys. Read on and enjoy! Read more
Over on our Posterous site, we recently addressed one use case for reQall, a personal reminder service that allows you to capture information using voice or text. In that post, we explained how to get information into Evernote using reQall’s voice capturing and transcription features. There are other ways, though, to use reQall to stay organized. Here are a few ways that I use reQall in my life.
