Closet Refactoring

The other day I realized I was losing time and adding stress every morning because finding clothes to wear was a huge pain. It wasn't that my closet wasn't organized - it just had a lot of extra junk and useless clothing in it. Inspired by the recent mentions of 'Productivity Patterns', I realized I could apply the software development concept of 'refactoring' to my closet. So I made a project out of it, and I'm really pleased with the results. I posted my process and my results here - I thought it might be helpful to anyone else who's ended up at work wearing pants that don't fit.

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

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
