43 Folders

Insanely great.

DEVONthink: Why?

I admit. The first time I read through the site introducing DEVONthink, I thought, "WOW! That's awesome! An app that organizes all my files intelligently." Then, after about five minutes of wondering how to convince the wife to give me $80, something hit me. I already have something that will allow me to organize any type of file, whatsover. The search function may not be as great, but it seems to do most of the other things DEVON does. It's my computer, or more specifically my OS. I realized I had this same epiphany after getting over the initial buzz of iPhoto as well.

Am I wrong? What is the advantage? I realize that I can cross-categorize, but pretty much any OS out there right now lets me do that to with aliases and simlinks. What am I missing?

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. »

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. »
