I recently had a phone conversation with Dr. Mark Destructo about how he and his evil syndicate use <a href="http://www.basecamphq.com/">Basecamp</a>.<br /><br />Me: So why Basecamp? There are so many other tools out there these days.<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: It's all about simplicity. I don't need another tool to complicate my life. BaseCamp doesn't get in the way.<br /><br />Me: What's your favorite feature?<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: Probably tying checklists to milestones. I can plan my goals at a high level, at the milestone level, and then come back later and create checklists (called To-Do lists in Basecamp) and associate them to the milestone. So when I check off all of the items in the list I complete the milestone.<br /><br />Me: Would you invite me to join your Basecamp so that I can try it out for myself?<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: I could, but I'd have to destroy you afterwards. (laughs)<br /><br />Me: Could you share some screenshots?<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: Check your email - I sent some pics from a side project I've been working on.<br /><br />Me: Thanks, Doc. I see- your To-Do list ties directly to the Milestone. Slick.<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJo7Szhwk51X-eJMgyc1mm_e4wDBVKgF_S4cbKmGdGglKxdhq9vAKgsbDUH9jLJh63dZXtTj5RVANz1rb4SxjKz7tEyvGaW4NgZOvlJ7nRqgNqBphdRReA9FwUUECBttM9sSDl5q2kJG4/s1600-h/to_do_list.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087910350891739282" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJo7Szhwk51X-eJMgyc1mm_e4wDBVKgF_S4cbKmGdGglKxdhq9vAKgsbDUH9jLJh63dZXtTj5RVANz1rb4SxjKz7tEyvGaW4NgZOvlJ7nRqgNqBphdRReA9FwUUECBttM9sSDl5q2kJG4/s400/to_do_list.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj6T2Utm4cdax71VFtaIzugUptsJa6slS9bovslgAGB5Ssw_XMOgMGacvg2L_FimqaWx2EIGukuvMyYXtG4OOSZUN8fm1l_pMakCFy6CY5zSWyZ6Pcdr5cUp1YfOpSAauh1hAzUIYJyKg/s1600-h/milestone.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087910960777095330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj6T2Utm4cdax71VFtaIzugUptsJa6slS9bovslgAGB5Ssw_XMOgMGacvg2L_FimqaWx2EIGukuvMyYXtG4OOSZUN8fm1l_pMakCFy6CY5zSWyZ6Pcdr5cUp1YfOpSAauh1hAzUIYJyKg/s400/milestone.gif" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br />Dr. Destructo: There's also a place to leave messages.

There will be a press release once everyone's lawyers have had a chance to OK it.<br /><br />Me: Do they participate in your Basecamp?<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: Absolutely. We're distributed all around the world. Adding people to Basecamp is quick and easy. And destroying their access is just as easy. I can do it with one mighty click of my mouse!<br /><br />Me: Great. Thanks for speaking with me today. Anything else you'd like to add?<br /><br />Dr. Destructo: Go White Sox! </div><div><br />Dr. Destructo works from his secret underground liar in Modesto, California.
