Lifehacker: Canadian Press Secretary on his HPDA

Merlin Mann | Mar 9 2005

How I get stuff done: Press Secretary : Lifehacker:

Gina talks with Ian Capstick, who coordinates complex press interactions for NDP party MPs using a favorite tool of ours.

Your one can’t-live-without web site, software app, gadget or tool?

My “hipster PDA”, as mentioned on the blog 43 Folders. I am a convert to using these handy 3x5 index cards and bull clips. In the chaos of Parliament Hill the little cards keep the daily press interview requests, daily spin messages and grocery lists all handy and in my back pocket.

Thanks for the nice plug, Ian.

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. »
