Every Lego lego is my favorite movie spoof. They have clever writers that feel like true super fans. The upcoming Force Awakens Lego game looks like it will be another chuckle-filled blast. Just watch the preview below which is basically a shot for shot of the movie trailer.
My cohost is cruising for a new task manager so we discuss 2Do for Mac and iOS on the latest Nerds on Draft episode. We share a bunch of tips for using the app but also discuss general principles of managing information. We also drink a terrific Agave and Grapefruit IPA.
OmniGraffle is one of the most generally useful apps on my Mac and iOS devices. The Omni Group is dramatically improving the app through third party stencils available through their “Stenciltown.” Version 2.0 adds options to upload and bookmark stencils. Check out the embedded video below:
Doesn’t look good for anyone that depends on Fusion. They laid off their development team. I have to wonder if this means anything about the PC market. I’m no analyst but I do remember when everyone had to have VMWare or Parallels as a Mac owner.

This is a pretty great list. From one of my favorite beers to a sausage club there’s something for every oddball in your life.

An interesting study in privacy awareness:
A context-aware approach to privacy is something that seems to have eluded companies like Facebook, Google, Flickr, Instagram, Snapchat and others. They promise secrecy and control, but what they really should be doing is making sure that people know what they can expect—to let them actually understand the ways in which your data might get shared.
I think for many people that’s a big gap.
This is just incredible. Let’s hope that $10,000 price tag works it’s way down to something in reach of more people. This looks so fun and the examples are unreal.
On episode 57 of Nerds on Draft Jeff and I discussed how we get news in the absence of our beloved Zite. We also drowned our sorrows with a delicious Bitches Brew from Dogfish Head.
This Omnigroup GTD intro is like a Cliffs Notes for Getting Things Done. While it describes GTD in the context of OmniFocus, it’s actually a pretty good intro to GTD concepts. I never even noticed the link at the top of their guest post series Inside OmniFocus.
