Bandwagon: Links not to miss, 2006-11-27

A few links that have been pretty popular on other sites, which I'd be remiss not to mention in passing here:

  • Hacking Email: 99 Email Security and Productivity Tips - Shovelsful of email usefulness here.
    • What's to like here: the faceted approach, which suggests that there are many ways to look at email -- put differently, that there may be a lot of people out there who don't see this medium the way you do. Gosh, but that's a good lesson to pick up.
  • 3 Tips to Maximize iPod Battery Life :: Bright Delight - My own iPod battery life is a subject of much consternation in our household. It seems to allow us fewer and fewer Battlestar Galacticas-per-charge (BGPC) all the time.
    • What's to like here: The volume limit tip is new to me. Would like to see some numbers on how much this contributes to battery life, but it seems like a smart enough idea.
  • Pile of Indexcards - Selection - Wow. I thought I was really into index cards.
    • What's to like here: Exhaustively nerdy, illustrated exegesis is sure to contain ideas that will rekindle your affection for the modest three by five. Fun stuff.
  • 10 OS X Apps You Might Not Know About But Should -
    • What's to like here: Some new-to-me gems (GarageSale, Connoisseur), plus any list with ChronoSync is okay by me.

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. »
