Austrian designer Rainer Mutsch has recently completed a range of outdoor furniture called Dune. The entire design and conception behind Dune is both creative and high-tech. Each modular unit is produced using 100% recycled Eternit cellulose fiber-cement panels. Moreover, Mutsch – just like any other furniture designer – had to take into consideration the various ergonomics, durability, modularity, and sustainability of the project.

The fibercement material is 3D molded, highly breathable, and inflammable. As complex as all of that sounds, the finished product is a streamline, minimalist work of art. There are a total of six different seating elements that an individual can choose from, and since the pieces are modular, the system can be indefinitely expanded.

OmniOutliner offers a huge range of options, templates and customisations, but—thankfully—none of that gets in the way if you want to use it for quick, simple outlining.

The Omni Group provide a great series of screencasts to get you up and running.

I have to say, Jack is really hitting it out of the park this week with his Outliner series. I’m a huge fan of outliners and outlining in general. It just fits naturally with the way I think and take notes. Today, he hit upon my favorite. I have been an OmniOuliner since its release and it is, hands down, the very best outlining tool I have ever used (and, at least on the Mac, I have used them all).

He hits the nail on the head. Like TextMate, it’s beauty lies in the power that is readily at ones disposal but never gets in the way. Lots of easy to learn and use keyboard shortcuts, a ton of import and export options, and it can lend itself to a variety of uses limited only by your own creativity.

Big, big, fan.

PocketMod:

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.
