Hidy-ho.

'Bout time I tossed my name in the ring. 43folders / The Mann Emporium has been a lifesaver for me countless times, and I've done what I can to spread its gospel. Glad to be here.

Hidey hi ho, neighbor!

Yeah, I'm a dork...that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Hi, my name is Paul...
Hi Paul </aa>

My quick, lunch-break-enabled intro:
I'm an engineer (but less hair than Dilbert), aspiring entrepreneur (but not Amway), open freak (my black is blacker than your black), and currently working for an "ultramegacorp" as a sort of project manager/über-tech hybrid.

My inner entrepreneur wants to get out there and run...and alluvasudden I stumble upon GTD. So then, I'm off to see what it's all about.

You down with GTD? Yeah, you know me...

See? I told you I was a dork!

tedium adds productivity reports so you can find out how productive you really are

So now, at the end of each quarter (so the end of March, June, September and December) we compile a Productivity Report for each user.

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. »
