How does someone find so much extra time to do this all? Must take a lot of energy and razor-sharp focus.

My biggest source of complaint is that my focus is not in fact razor-sharp and I spend too much time fumbling around unsure of what I should be doing to advance the agenda.

He measured it out to 18 extra hours per week. That's pretty achievable even with kids if your work week weighs in under 50 hours and you are judicious about your time management, but it does take a substantial amount of discipline.

I tend to fluctuate between spending zero hours a week to side stuff and 40 hours a week, in phases, and while I get pretty cool work done, it's hard to make money on an inconsistent pattern.

This is true and I totally adhere to it, but, I also think sometimes it's useful to choose the latest and greatest not for the technical aspect, but to attract good devs to work for you.

Reminds me of an article by Paul Graham written in 2004 about Python developers. http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html

I'm not an avid Twitter user and I don't think any of these would turn me into one. Maybe the issue is there isn't enough for me to do there...just saying.

Something similar was done by some Pakistani students a few years ago. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CfaxbVvi80 (sorry, no english translation)

I just found out about orgmode and use that on a text file in sublime using this plugin https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode

I'm no UI expert, but the colors seem too bright for a dashboard, which usually people stare at for a good amount of time

Very good point, we will think about it, there will be also an option to reduce the brightness of the colors.

"3taps replied that it did not access craigslist and instead obtained the data from Google" What does this mean? how do they get that data from Google?

Probably scraped Google's cache pages, so they would never touch Craigslist servers.

Name (todo) is pretty funny

You can filter calls in Google Voice?

Yes! And it can be tied into your contacts list.

I can set it so that Family always gets through. Other groupings can be created and customized, like Friends, Coworkers, Acquaintances, etc. Each can also get their own voicemail greetings.

People not in my contact list will be answered with an automated greeting asking them to announce themselves, which I will hear and then have the option to pick up or send them to voicemail.

There's a feature that lets me dial a number on my phone to record the conversation, which also announces that the conversation is being recorded so as to adhere to various local laws.

Plus there's automatic voicemail transcriptions powered by Google's awesome voice recognition software, which just got a 49% boost in accuracy in an update this week.

I also haven't had to worry about transferring numbers as I switched carriers. I just let the carrier give me whatever number they want, and when people dial my Google Voice number it's automatically forwarded. I can even set it to forward to multiple numbers simultaneously, making it so I can even answer my "cell" using my desk phone at work during work hours.

Again, I sincerely hope Phone Janitor can compete with all that. I think competition has been sorely lacking in that space, and I'm eager to see what improvements it will bring to bear.
