The Globe and Mail on the Hipster PDA

Merlin Mann | Apr 16 2005

The Globe and Mail: The hipster PDA

Tralee Pearce did a nice piece on the Hipster PDA and adopting analog tech in today’s Globe and Mail.

”So that means unless your Palm is integrated into your phone or your MP3 player you’re gonna need a Chewbacca bandolier to keep all your stuff on,” he says, betraying his nerdiness with a Star Wars reference. “Do you really need a sack with three pieces of equipment in it every time you go to a bar? There’s something a little tragic about it.”

The site is a fetishization...

The site is a fetishization of all things analogue -- Moleskine diaries, index cards and other office-supply classics -- and an ode to a book called Getting Things Done by David Allen.

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. »
