Toys! Shiny!

An e-prime assistant. This nifty little script checks text for forms of "to be", in order that a writer might eliminate them.

Also, Mentat Wiki, yet more resources for using your brain in a meaningful and coherent fashion. I want to be a Mentat when I grow up. Also, I feel a new icon coming on. Watch this space.

Other useful (and not-so-useful) sites for mental improvement, creativity, productivity, and personal growth:

The "Not-To-Do" list on 52 projects, which is full of projecty goodness.
Inspire Me Thursday - a weekly dose of creativity
Creativity techniques wiki - like the mentat wiki, but with crayons
Better Times Almanac - seriously hit-or-miss collection of conservation, voluntary simplicity, gardening, and frugal living... occasionally combined with paranoia, apocalypse survival, and how to feed a family of eighteen on nothing bur flour, potato weevils, and bible verses.
Steve Pavlina's blog - my current favorite productivity writer. Sometimes batshit crazy, but that's part of the fun.
Lifehacker.com - geat collection of 'geeking to live' life hacks.
43 Folders - more productivity/organisation oriented, but with the occasional fabulous article on life hacking, creativity, or mental reprogramming.
Free the Genie - a card 'oracle' designed to help overcome creativity blocks or stall-outs on a project.
Instructables - a community of "hey, I think I figured out how to make that!"
DIY Network - ditto, but corporate and oriented toward home improvement.
Craftster - ditto, but oriented toward indie kitsch and Inappropriate Home Decor.
