There’s been little activity here for a while now, but I am happy to report that (behind the scenes) stuff is coming together.

Myself & Chris are helping Tina to get Refresh Cleveland back on it’s feet and, hopefully, start the community of developers and designers around here talking to each other more.

We’ll be starting small with a new look, some more regular postings and maybe one or two informal coffee shop get togethers.

The idea is not to be a rival to the Meetup’s or Web Association, but to supplement them, enabling people to talk about what they love and hate about the web-regardless of employer, project or client.

Since getting back from vacation I’ve been in a “clean up and declutter” mode.  This has ranged from cleaning up my desk to re-evaluating the tools I use.   The former was easy, the latter is much, much harder.  Like many powerusers, I have more programs and widgets than I know what to do with, and more importantly, more than I remember to use.

I want to try to streamline things…find the best program for a given purpose and stick with it.  it’s things like DevonTHINK Pro vs. Yojimbo or Flock vs. Camino vs. Firefox…that sort of thing.  I’m tired of living in app-rich but organization-poor environment.

What tools to you use?  How do you keep it all organized?  What are the most important tricks and hacks you use to make your life easier?
