tagging shortcuts / utilities

Productive citizens,

I just started a new wave of school and with it a system of tagging-based organization on my mac. Goodbye folders!! Currently I can tag a file with a predetermined term using hotkeys in Quicksilver (ctrl-opt-cmd-s tags it "school") but what I want is to quickly enter a tag myself. It takes 5 keystrokes in quicksilver (cmd-esc to grab a selected file, tab, t for "add tag...", tab, and THEN the tag itself).

Any ways of doing this with Quicksilver or any utilities developed for the purpose? If Apple is serious about metadata I should think that tag creation would be easier.

Cheers
Ryan

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. »
