Real Simple @ Target

Just an FYI of sorts...

Real Simple magazine has a new line of life organization stuff at Target. The thing that caught my eye was an index card deck, riveted at one end like a paint swatch deck, held shut with a stretchy band. It held a goodly amount of perforated index cards. There were other things, like a folio that contained various sticky notes for various lists (call, shopping -- I can't really remember), a strange double notebook, and some other folios. Also included in the display were project boxes, mail sorting centers and other desk organizers. The color schemes were nice (mostly browns, some with magenta accent, some with aqua, some with orange).

Nothing particularly great (the index card deck seemed annoying in that you had to pivot it so far to be able to write on a card), but it's further evidence that index cards are becoming down right trendy

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. »
