Nobody really calls me anymore. Even my wife knows I'm more likely to reply to her email than pickup the phone ;)

not really - there is a subtle difference

fair enough but I'm fairly sure that if you traveled in time from 5y ago with a decent developer from that time he would have hard time landing a job today

I'm testing http://launchlist.net/ right now. Looks solid

I think that's a bit different. Checklists are reusable and shared. It's not a one-time todolist

Colin, which browser are you using? Looks good here.

One of the points in the article is that it's impossible (and impractical) to scope out everything before you start.
