Of course, I track appointments and meetings and the like in my calendar, but sometimes, my repeating schedule just gets in the way and overwhelms me when I'm looking at iCal, so I end up turning it off. Any thoughts?

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. »
