Distractions

7by12 | Jan 15 2007

Ok, so I'm new.
(first post)

New to Macs. New to GTD. New to 43 folders. New to Macbreak. New.

I have really loved all the anti-distraction videos and posts. I've got Quicksilver now, and Menu shade, and have a pure black desktop. My dock is hidden. Between being a stay-at-home Dad, Alzheimer's caregiver and online student, I need to do eveything I can to limit distractions.

I've long been a fan of control-tab, now command-tab. I want to find a way to hide apps I don't need from the dock or finder bezel (ie. hardware growler, menuShade) . I haven't found any way to do this.

Any ideas?

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. »
