Scansnap alternatives???

Perhaps similar product on the cheap(er)? Or has someone found a nice All in One type printer that works for their paperless workflow?

Outlook Tasks

Is there any info or recommendations for getting the most productivity/time/task management out of Outlook, specifically the Tasks functionality?

I recently got a new position at work and my productivity/time/task management needs have just increased dramatically. Unfortunatly I don't think I have the bandwidth now to implement something as complex as GTD system, however I wanted to use the tools currently available to me now(Outlook) in the best way possible.

Thanks in advance. joe

Many Things Broken!

Two things you really need to fix ASAP!

1 - IE7 - get major breakage on registration, password reminder and contact pages. Probably others as well, didn't have time to check more

2 - Firefox - Forum topics don't show! I'm posting this blind, no idea if anyone has posted about it already, because the forum topic list is just blank!

Can't find old forum post with Search

I did a search for "manila" hoping to find a good way to store manila folders per David Allen's suggestion to avoid hanging file folders. One of the links (the third one, to be precise, was this: http://board.43folders.com/archive/index.php/t-1146.html. But when I click on it, I just get redirected to the main forum page at http://www.43folders.com/forum, no specific topic is listed. What's up?

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. »
