Hand-picked, artisanal links for January 10th

Merlin Mann | Jan 10 2008

The Omni Group - OmniFocus - OmniFocus 1.0 officially hit the streets this week. So proud of all my hard-working OmniPals, who've made the app I always wanted. Kudos.
Mother Tongue Annoyances › How to Attain Serenity Before Giving a Speech - "I find that when I am [speaking] from this 'serene-state,' for lack of a better word, my mind is as sharp as a tack, and my energy is channeled on the audience and the subject matter..."
10 ways to get the most out of Quick Look - (TUAW) - Most of these are new to me. Which probably explains why I hadn't been using Quick Look too much. Good tips.
RulesofThumb.org - I loved Parker's RoT books, and the site looks like a fun, user-driven collection of these bite-sized bits of wisdom. - [via BB]
Things - task management on the Mac - Haven't spent much time with Things yet, but this looks like a beautiful and promising-looking app for doing GTD on your Mac. Very pretty.
ThinkGeek :: SnūzNLūz - Wifi Donation Alarm Clock - "...everytime you hit the snooze button, the SnūzNLūz will donate a specified amount of your real money to a non-profit you hate." You have to respect a Rube Goldberg device that's attached to your personal sense of outrage. [thanks, overhang]
Products [Merlin Mannerism Widget] - "The Merlin Mannerism Widget provides a different Merlin Mann quote each day from 1 Jan 2008 through 4 Jan 2009." Oh, lucky you. [thanks, hongkongphooey] That said, if you enjoy this sort of thing, you can also get up-to-date (and very economically worded) Mannerisms from my Twitter posts. On the other hand, if you don't enjoy this sort of thing, I'm sure you're not alone.

Such a good idea though!

Since it isn't April, I had my guard down for this one. Thinkgeek usually has clever April Fools products. This one I would truly buy. I think $10 is enough money to make me actually wake up and think about what I'm doing. That's the problem with snooze. The negative return on not getting up at that moment isn't realized immediately enough. If I knew I'm giving away $10 every time I did it, I think I could stop.
