Interesting This Week

I come across all kinds of stuff on the internet and wanted a way to share what I find so I am starting a weekly blog post called Interesting This Week.  Each Sunday I will post the things I have come across this week that I think are worth sharing.  They may or may not be genealogy related. The first installment of Interesting This Week starts now!

 Wunderlist  -- I have been looking for a to do list manager for some time.  I have tried different ones and different ways for managing my to do's.  Wunderlist is on my desktop, my phone and my ipad so my lists are always accessible and I can keep track of reoccurring tasks as well.
