Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage

Hi, I’m Nick Grossman

I run a great startup team out of OpenPlans in NYC -- we build open source technology to help cities work better. This is my personal blog.

I am a life-long New Yorker, but my wife, son and I recently moved to Brookline, MA, which I have to admit, is a pretty nice place to live.

If you like, you can read more about me here.

One of the best features of Things is the keyboard shortcut to add a task from anywhere. A surprising and subtle addition to that is that if you’re reading an email and create a task, the Subject of the email becomes the task name, and you get a hyperlink to the email in the notes. Very nice. Now if they would only get after it and implement cloud sync already, I’d be a happy man.

New York’s deepest, darkest secret: the city that never sleeps doesn’t really know what turns hackers on.

This industry needs regulation, not eradication.” They compared the situation to saying: “I don’t like NYC taxi drivers who rig their meters and overcharge passengers. Let’s create a law that will make all taxis illegal.

Everything we create becomes a de facto data storage device and brain accessory.
