popping the to-do list up (tasktoy)

esperluette | Feb 6 2006

dear 43foldies -- I am using tasktoy and really enjoying it. However, it would be WAY more useful if I could make my browser window "pop" to the front whenever the computer was idle for more than a few minutes ... that way I'd be reminded by my "next actions" and not distracted by the inbox or whatever.

I use a Mac and a PC. I think this could be scripted in Applescript for the Mac side, but I have no clue what would do this on the PC. Any ideas?

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. »
