BayCHI podcast and slides available

Tuesday, March 14, 2006: Monthly Program (BayCHI)

Last Tuesday, I joined OSAF's Mimi Yin to talk about GTD at the monthly BayCHI program down at PARC. A podcast of both our presentations plus our slides are now available for download from the program page. Many thanks to Steve Williams for getting it all up so fast.

My talk (mp3 audio link) centered on the behavioral changes that can enhance the tools and frameworks we choose. I dropped lots of your names, slightly misquoted Anne Lamott twice, confessed to at least two jobs I've had, and mostly managed not to curse beyond PG-13 levels. I'd call it a very successful evening.

Many thanks to Paul, Rashmi, and the BayCHI volunteers for being such excellent hosts. And thanks to Estrelita for some kickass fish tacos. I had a very fun night.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
