New Habits-Can we change? Can we develop new habits?

I’ve just finished reading a great article on The New York Times about developing new habits.

It’s a beautiful article, very insightful and well written. In fact, is been a while since I’ve read something so good as this post: Can You Become a Creature of New Habits?

From the article:
HABITS are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation.

Please, do take few minutes of your time and read it. It’s all worth it.

Blog review: David’s freeware and a bit of everything

Blog Reviews, Recommended Links, Tech Blogs, Blogging, Freeware March 16th, 2008

Early today I was having a chat with my buddy David about starting some blog reviews and he thought the idea was great.

In fact, he wanted to review some blogs himself, and he actually beat me to it, because he started first….with a review about my blog.

It might seem like i am returning a favour, which is not.
I actually chose his blog to be first on my review series.

David’s freeware also known as A Little Bit Of Everything is a relatively young blog, about a bunch of stuff, but with a high amount of Windows XP and Vista freeware, open source and free online applications.

His reviews are fair, and just as i would do, he is testing them first and then passes on the recommendation.
He’s got passion to spread the word and if an application is worth talking about, he’ll do it immediately.

The “A Little Bit Of Everything” blog is something you’d want to add to your feeds list, because if you are one of the people trying to keep up with the new and trendy stuff on the web, then you’ve just found your source.

Also, taking that his big passion is the music, chances are you’ll find in there a bunch if tunes or music web sites recommendations.

There is so much to say about his blog and it would only be fair to do it, but you better head over there and start digging through his tags.

This week’s blog review: David’s freeware - Highly recommended.

Having all these apps with you, wherever you go, means being able to be productive anywhere….and also spares you from spending lots of money on software.
