TASCK is a bare-bones task list-manager web application. What TASCK lacks in features, it makes up for in minimalism. Literally, the only thing you can do on the site is add tasks by hovering over the plus symbol, and either check off or delete them as you complete them. It's unclear what the difference is between checking off a task and deleting it; in either case the list item simply disappears.

Though you don't need to sign up to use TASCK, it's probably a good idea to if you plan on making any serious use of the site. Simply clicking the How To Use link and then going back to the site was enough to lose the short list of items I had entered.

The name TASCK is intended to be a combination of the words tack and task. The site is intended as a task management tool for people that are too busy to fuss with more complicated task managers.

If you're looking for something a little more functional than a plain text document, but without all the confusing bells and whistles that today's batch of GTD-inspired applications offer, TASCK might be right down your alley.

I hate packing for trips. I will put it off until the last possible moment, and even then some. Part of the reason I hate it is that I'm never quite sure exactly what I need to pack.

If you're in the same boat, you might find the Universal Packing List site as interesting as I do. Basically, the site is a very compact user interface that asks you a set of questions about your upcoming trip, ranging from your gender, to whether you will be washing your own clothes, if you wear glasses, and where in the world you'll be traveling to.

Once you've completed the questionnaire, it spits out a very comprehensive list of things to pack, as well as a to-do list to take care of before you leave. When I say the list is comprehensive, that's a bit of an understatement. For a hypothetical 3 day trip with my kids, here are just the headings it came up with:

Oh my gosh! I looooove wordie. I love it, because I love words. This site lets you make lists of words easily, play with words, and even break out an RSS feed or two of your words for daily consumption at your leisure. You know how everyone says "use your words" in corporate-speak when they really mean to call you stupid in every day language? Well, Wordie lets you not only "use your freakin words" but also SAVE in lists them for later use. I imagine I will make a list of zingers, so I can yell at telemarketers effectively, but hey, you can make lists of words for anything you want. A feature I like a lot is the list of reference links after every word you type in, so if you love or hate a word, and need to find out what it actually is or means, you can via these tools. The reference tools include ninjawords, tfd, etymonline, dictionary, M-W, UD, Wikipedia, Google. The site is very heavy on the AJAX, which is also something I like, not to mention one of the best tag lines ever, "Like Flickr, but without the photos." Pure genius. Other than that, there really is not much else to this service, except playing with words, and making lists of them. If you are a word buff, a writer, blogger, or just a language nut, you'll love doing this stupid activity till you're blue in the face. Happy wordie-ing...wait, is that a word?
