Unfortunately, "Time Tracker - A Personal Time Management Application - The Form Assembly" doesn't work in Safari, yet. The developer is aware of it, however, and hopes to find a workaround at some point.

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. »
