Newsletter and email lists Filter Rules for kinda-spam

In my gmail account and on my horde online filter to limit the amount of kinda-spam, (email newsletters I am unable to read all the time or dont have a high priority and I dont have enough time to unsubscribe or am unwilling to change my email address) I use the following filter rules that search for body text filtering email most likely to be automated newsletters to aLists IMAP folder.
The following words are what I filter:
unsubscribe
reply with remove
"to be removed"
subscriber
enewsletter
no longer wish to receive
"to stop receiving"

In the to: field
undisclosed

This filters most of my newsletters into a lists folder for later review and reading when I have the time

I wish I could run a separate spam filter like tool that could learn newsletters from my normal mail and spam.

Anybody have any other filter word suggestions?

Combine PocketMod and GTD TiddlyWiki and the trials of the PPC phone

I would love it if there was a way to use GTD TiddlyWiki and have it make a custom pocketmod.
While I love the Hipster PDA
the pocketmod seems more efficient.
Can anyone work at linking them together?

Going from Digital to Analog to Hybrid Analog with Digital Universal Backup
I was using my PocketPC Phone PDA which was a wonderful toy. I always got oohs and aaaahhs, or man thats a big phone. But having a phone and pda combined seemed efficient and do to the crappy software on it for the Task syncing with outlook I used PocketInformant, A very impressive program for handling hundreds of tasks and in my mind the only way to handle tasks on the ppc platform (I love the filters). However, the PPC phone failed at being a PPC because it would always lockup or go slow with my 3500+ tasklist ( I am an entrepreneur + contract web developer so always have almost literally 100 projects going on at once ) . I spent more time fighting with a locking up slow going ppc phone that actually getting things done.

After breaking the screen on my ppc phone and after having done quite a bit of reading and research into David Allens GTD methodology I began thinking there has got to be an easier, less technical, more fluidly natural and organic way than grafitti'ing things into microsoft outlook. (although I tried the GTD Outlook plugin Im not quite ready for it until I filter my inbox and compile everything into 1 inbox which I am converting all my email into an IMAP account that I can syncronize on the road. I only wist I could have all my outlook tasks as emails)
It finally made sense that good old pen and paper works faster (so long as the papers dont get lost or disorganized ) than a slow PPC .

I can use the PocketMod for my 2,000 foot view and as Steven Covey does plan and plot out my week ahead and then print it out as a pocket mod and fold it up in my wallet. If I need to add things I have a blank task list and on my weekly review can pull them into outlook and re-print the next week. I also have an empty - On-the-fly pocketmod for thoughts ideas someday maybes, @Calls, @Emails, @groceries, or anything else that comes in quickly. Outlook saves me time by prioritizing so I dont have to re-write or even worse carry around 10 pocketmods... Although they would be about the same size and thickness as my Hipster PDA.

Genuine Curiosity :: Getting Things...Stuck?

Genuine Curiosity :: Getting Things...Stuck?
YEAH! Another GTD Fan... Good mix of Steven Covey and David Allen... I recommend Purpose Driven Life for core value prioritization - 50,000 foot view, and then narrow in work hard and focus... My constant issue... Multitasking Prioritization and Keeping focus on the fly in a small super energetic experience driven company.

The Power Of Us

The Power Of Us: "Marketocracy"

Giving more power to the people, empowering them rather than telling them what to do, pooling the mob of opinion and allowing the clients themselves to be the critics and publicly share that knowledge. The New New economy.

Bushman's Cave

"Some people would think that what David was doing was dangerous, but I feel that if there weren't people like David then we'd still be driving around in horse and carts," Mrs Shaw said.

"We wouldn't have gone to the moon, we wouldn't have climbed Mt Everest, we wouldn't have had planes to fly if there hadn't been people willing to go beyond the boundaries of human achievement.

"I wouldn't have changed David for anything."
