As I understand, Sandy is a simple getting things done application which help you to manage your tasks using your e-mail client. All you have to do is sign up for an account, and the you are given a new personal email address. When you want to remember a task all you have to do is a send a mail to that email account saying that,
Remember [i have to do some thing at] 8 pm
Then Sandy will remeber it and send an email to your configured email account on that time. You have so many ways to write that message to Sandy. They have given a cheat sheet that contains detailed about how to write meaningful messages to sandy. You can do more things than one I mentioned here using Sandy.

While I am reading through the ndesign-studio blog, I found this site called FreeRice.com. I think idea behind this site is awesome and very creative like the design of the site. They have a vocabulary game in their site and you can play this game without any kind of sign up. For each question answered correctly 10 grains of rice will be donated by the sponsors to help people living in poverty. Creativity behind this idea is visitor get to play the game, then visitor got chance to improve their vocabulary, FreeRice get the traffics, advertisers get their exposure, and most important thing is people get the free rice. I think it's a nice idea to spread around the community. Please help to spread out the word. You can find details from their FAQ page.
