Sometimes "zen" can be direct
I totally agree with the zenware aspect (and that the name is cutesy)… maybe we should web 2.0/3.0 it! Take out some vowels, add some double consonants and make it a place to share stuff with friends! And don’t forget the gui’s!! Why Not? haha good god…
/serious : Sometimes the best form of zen is to find a way to not need icons on the desktop at all. Its very much the QS or GTD principle of mind like water… do the task at hand, use Quicksilver or Launchy and just open that one thing. Boom, you go directly there, no clicks of crowded and distracting menus. You do that one thing and then your done, move on. Haha I maybe even suggest turning off GMail notifier, Growl, Twitter, Chats…haha for the ultimate zen experience (SHOCK!)! :)
