Creative Pro: Designer-Built To-Do App Adds New Features & iPhone Version

TeuxDeux (say it out loud) is a straightforward to-do application that launched as browser-based app in December 2009. It's from the minds of "swissmiss" (Swiss-born and NYC-based designer Tina Roth Eisenberg), Cameron Koczon, and Evan Haas.

One of the declared aims of the Institute of Broadcast Sound is to provide high quality training for its members, and that's precisely what happened on a damp Sunday in mid-May 2010.
