4x6

Success! I am now happily printing my lists onto index cards. Now, my hipster experiment can begin.

I'm happily married to kGTD, which is not to say that we don't have our little spats. While kGTD is my homebase for action planning, I've been taking my task lists on the road using a Windows mobile Missing Sync, which works well.

I'm using uncoated, blank, white 4"x6" cards and a HP Photosmart 320 photo printer. Works great. Even better with the ink set to low volume.

This trip started out trying to use 3x5 cards, but I couldn't get them to work with the printers I have. But, its fine using 4x6 cards because they fit in the back pocket of my 501 jeans and my suit jacket breast pocket easily. And, they give you more surface on which to write. But, I'll have to supersize my moleskine pocket cahier to a 5x8.

So, for all you out there who are are getting frustrated trying to print on 3x5, try and big up to 4x6 index cards.

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. »
