My Lofi System

I finally decided it was time to start documenting what I'm considering to be version 1.0 of my "trusted system." I'm putting it here rather than the GTD sub-forum because - well - I wrote more about the tools than the methodology and most of the tools are decidedly low-tech.

As I have mentioned before, it does not approach the comprehensive whitepapers that emory, Patrick, and others have posted, but it was a start for me to just formalize things by putting them in writing.

Linky.

Well it may be a little bit before I dive in. I really have been lusting after the new Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Being that I still use Backpack as an integral part of my system, being able to have easier to carry internet access is highly attractive...

That being said, I have to say that I have been almost exclusively using my Ballistic Shirt Pocket Briefcase for capture and that has been working quite well. I have really fallen in love with the Levenger 3x5 cards. They are so bright and easy on the eyes and they take ink so well. It is so convenient to have the SPB in my back pocket. Much more so than my Moleskine ? hence it has been getting less and less use.

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. »
