personalized to-do lists, thanks to Flickr

Actually, thanks to http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/, The picture you want to use as its header doesn't have to be on Flickr, and you can save and print the resulting image to your heart's content.

Here's the one I made from a photo of my friend Kent:

If you upload the result you've created to Flickr, instead of just saving it, you can take advantage of Flickr's autoresizing. For example, here's the download page for the above photo:

Tip: the to-do list option is a little hidden; it's one of the frames: http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/frame.php. It's a choice in the pull-down list.

You can also create calendars: http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/calendar.php

Here's one I made today--I may just properly size this one, and the one of my friend Kent, and make an alternating jotter to-do pad.

Today's was inspired by 43Things. Some goals are profound, admirable, and sweepingly grand. Some are baby steps, and rightly so. But some...some are so carpe diem that they're gems upon which to stumble...hence today's to-do list sheet of paper, made from a real 43Things screencapture:

If anyone else plays with this toy, I'd love to see your results. :D Mine will all be tagged to-do lists, among other things.

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. »
