I've been intrigued enough by the Lifehacker Web site to order the new book, which, on first flip-through, seemed full of useful ideas. This sentence on p.6, however, has distracted me: "Plain text is application- and operating system- agnostic" -- by way of explaining why it's a good idea to keep your to-do list in a plain text file.
Agnostic? Plain text is doubtful? Plain text is noncommittal? Okay, maaaaaaybe it's noncommittal, but wouldn't a theological reference maybe be ecumenical -- of worldwide scope, universal -- rather than agnostic? Or maybe just throw out the religious metaphors altogether.
It's not worth not reading the book, of course. It's just faintly irritating.
