Military & Defense Flag Officer Assignments The Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert announced today the following assignment: Rear Adm. Personal Information Managers Introduction My favorite PIM is Ecco because of its one-pane outliner, its to-do lists ("notepad") that supports child items (while just about all other PIMs only support one-level to-do lists, making it impossible to create a project and divide it into sub-tasks), its support for adding attributes ("folders") to an item (eg. add a Status attribute to an item in a to-do list, and mark this item as Urgent), and its support for synching with a Palm PDA. Lotus Organizer is also nice, but is also deadware and offers no outliner.

6 | Watch: Printed Record Turns Drawings Into Music Records, CDs, cassette tapes, even MP3s and FLAC--nothing about any single music file or disc holds any real aesthetic value. (No one would collect records if they didn’t play music). So we’ve long relied on cases and album art--superfluous packaging we’ve come to cherish--to make a Beatles album feel like something momentous, even when you can’t hear it. But what if the music medium itself were as gorgeous as the sounds it contained? That’s the basic idea behind Evil Eye, a project by Belgium collective Indianen during their time at the printmaking-focused Frans Masereel Center. “Technically, the project is very straightforward,” Indianen explains. The record itself contains eight tracks, each which runs in a 1.3-second rotational loop. “We built an app that can translate a wav-file to a vectorized waveform that we can print onto the records, by which you could encode any piece of regular music you’d want,” explains Indianen’s Tim Knapen.
