GTDer's Choice Awards: Ubiquitous Capturing Device

The ultimate ubiquitous capturing device has the following qualities:

(1) You can take it with you anywhere, (2) It's always with you, (3) You begin writing immediately (less than 5 seconds).

With all the options out there I'd like to know from others what their #1 choice is for ubiquitous capture. And I'd prefer it came from those who have been using that collecting device/method for over a year.

Unplug

Talk about unplugging. The latest Bruno Aveillan ad for Loius Vuitton is the sweetest little homage to letting go. God this guy can make 'just being' the sexiest damn thing in the world. This clip is like transcendental meditation on ecstasy. My life hack resolution this week is to slip a volume of Pablo Neruda into my brief case and to somehow find a half hour in my workday to step off the gerbil wheel and just be...

Family Tree app for Mac?

Are there any applications on the Mac OS X platform that were designed for compiling family tree information?

If not, any apps already on the Mac platform that are helpful to build a family tree? I'm thinking OmniGraffle on that one if nothing else already exists for family tree building.

Does anyone have recommendations on compiling this information? Applications to help compile and build this information? Sites that I must check out for info?

Any general suggestions are appreciated on this project as well...

Thanks!

"Next" comments should link directly TO comments

I finish reading an article and start reading the comments. At the end of the page, I click Next. I find myself at the top of the next page, but again at the top of the article, which I must scroll through to get to the second page of comments.

When I reach the bottom I click Next and, once again, there's the entire article to scroll through.

The "Next" link should position me at the top of the next set of comments. (Whether or not the article is on the page doesn't matter to me much if my screen is positioned at the top of comments).

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. »
