I’m kind of obsessed with organization and productivity. For many years I was addicted to Tasks in Gmail, but when I switched to the iPhone I found there was no elegant and free way to use Tasks anymore.
Then I found Wunderlist which is an amazing task app that I’ve become obsessed with. I performs largely the same function of Google Tasks but is beautifully packaged and can be accessed on your phone, computer or on the web. I really can’t recommend it enough for helping to keep your life organized.
Capybara is one of my favorite bands in the world and they just released a new album entitled Dave Drusky. I’ve given it a few spins and have to say its one of the best albums you’ll hear this year. You can pick it up on Amazon and iTunes and would highly encourage you to do so.
Federal Court Agrees that California’s Prop. 8 Is Unconstitutional
On Tuesday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Prop. 8, the voter approved ban on California gay marriage, is unconstitutional, upholding a lower court’s ruling that the ballot measure. The court also rejected the argument that U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself from the case because he is gay and has a longtime partner.
The Los Angeles Times reported before the ruling that the losing party can appeal the ruling to a larger panel of the 9th Circuit, which would delay a Supreme Court review for many months or longer, or go directly to the high court. Read more.

No shit it’s unconstitutional. Replace the word “gay” with anything else and you’ll see why (black, Jewish, interracial). Opponents of gay marriage are ultimately fighting a losing battle against reason and are on the wrong side of history.
You know those books that are so good that you take the extra long route home on the subway so you can squeeze in a few more pages? That is so compelling you pick it up while you’re waiting for your girlfriend to blow dry her hair so you can read a little. That’s so sad it makes you want to hug all your loved ones because you realize your time with them is limited. That’s so relevant to your current life that it gently reassures you that you’re not totally misguided or on the wrong path.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what Just Kids was like for me.
From my experience, you can’t wait around to find what you love. You gotta work your ass off. And then you find what you love by doing piles and piles of work.

Good advice.
I was super excited to see Josh Fadem on 30 Rock. He’s one of the funniest people I know and took an awesome picture with Master P one time. You can see the whole episode here.
Seriously what was I thinking ordering a veggie burger at a pool hall in Queens?
