iTunes copying songs twice.

I imported my songs awhile ago from a pc to my new mac. However, I just realized that I could potentially save a lot of space:

I have seemingly all of my music in my /music folder -- in addition to that, I seem to have all my music in /music/itunes/itunes music/ folder, except its divided by albums. If I deleted ALL of the music in just my /music folder, would that effect anything my music collection/itunes? Or does my mac somehow require them to be in both places?

Thanks!

Getting started with GTD

After listening to a few Productive Talk podcasts and starting to listen to the GTD audio book, I'm trying to get my arms around how to actually get started in the GTD practice.

I work as an IT consulting co. account mgr. In office about 50% of the time, getting 40 actionable emails per day, but most are not defferable, I have to handle and do most of the tasks.

Being over 50, remembering everything is not what it used to be and I am looking for a method to improve tracking of emails, phone calls, and physical documents.

Mac Typing Tutor

I think it is time I finally taught myself to touch-type and I think the best way is going to be one of those typing tutor programmes. I haven't looked at these for smething like 15 years.

So, what should I look for? Any programs to look out for? Any to avoid?

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. »
