Mary Hodder - GTDist?

Saw this interesting image from an article on the "new" wisdom of the web in a recent issue of Newsweek (unfortunately small - bigger in the magazine of course):

Kind of looks like a hpda on caffeine. Each of the big yellow ones seemed to be a page/option on the website she runs and each attached card is an option/sub-option on each of those.

I suppose there's a revival...

I suppose there's a revival of sorts for people using paper more, as people become increasingly fed up with PDAs and smartphones, and realize how much they miss writing stuff down on real paper.

I recall that in ZMM better.)

One thing I dislike about using PDAs/PIMs is that it's hard to get the "big picture" without changing windows and screens all the time.

Maybe that's what Mary Hodder is doing--using an old-fashioned method to get the big picture.

Sometimes books and magazines are laid out in similar fashion, tacking the pages all up on the wall, rearranging them to get the right flow.

You know, that picture reminded me of my father's garage. The messiest place you could ever imagine but if you asked for the obscurest of tools he knew exactly where it was. Maybe that was his "big picture." :)

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. »
