The simple interface uses large type and bold colors (themes are interchangeable), along with entirely gesture-based navigation. The structure of Clear allows for quick input and organization of tasks, while slight color gradients indicate priority levels. As far as to-do lists go, the design and interactions are refreshing, but not particularly intuitive (I have found myself unintentionally clicking certain areas or entering input fields accidentally). While I enjoy the minimal aesthetic of apps like Clear and <a href="http://www.any.do/" target="_blank">Any.Do</a> (currently only available on Android), I haven’t gotten into the habit of consistently using a single one of the <em>gazillion </em>task apps out there, this is probably because I write long, detailed descriptions next to everything I need to do in <a href="http://evernote.com/" target="_blank">Evernote</a>. Three or four word reminders have never served my neurotic self too well.</p>http://blog.taramann.com/post/17645835934http://blog.taramann.com/post/17645835934Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:24:56 -0500ClearAppiPhone<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lze8g0Cu4i1qzhepuo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m really getting into <a href="http://puzzlejuice.asherv.com/" target="_blank">Puzzle Juice</a> on my iPad, I just wish my hands weren’t so large, as it is almost impossible for me to play it on my phone. </p>http://blog.taramann.com/post/17612081251http://blog.taramann.com/post/17612081251Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:26:00 -0500GamesPuzzle Juice<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzazfrnx1h1qzhepuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I seriously cannot believe the <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/tara/home.sho" target="_blank">United States of Tara</a> was not renewed for a fourth season.
