Inbox Zero: DMZ + GMail = ?

DeepWaters | Aug 3 2007

Like one of the Google employees in Merlin's audience, I've been a bit of a "bad boy" in terms of how much of my e-mail is from months (years) ago. How can I implement a DMZ-esque system within GMail? Because GMail lacks folder creation, how can I start afresh with my e-mail? I mean, I could potentially just use "dashes" to move through all of it, but that seems a bit backwards. I would welcome any suggestions.

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. »
