Hand-picked, artisanal links for January 10th
Submitted by Merlin on January 10, 2008 - 6:52am.
- The Omni Group - OmniFocus - OmniFocus 1.0 officially hit the streets this week. So proud of all my hard-working OmniPals, who’ve made the app I always wanted. Kudos.
- Mother Tongue Annoyances › How to Attain Serenity Before Giving a Speech - “I find that when I am [speaking] from this ‘serene-state,’ for lack of a better word, my mind is as sharp as a tack, and my energy is channeled on the audience and the subject matter…”
- 10 ways to get the most out of Quick Look - (TUAW) - Most of these are new to me. Which probably explains why I hadn’t been using Quick Look too much. Good tips.
- RulesofThumb.org - I loved Parker’s RoT books, and the site looks like a fun, user-driven collection of these bite-sized bits of wisdom. - [via BB]
- Things - task management on the Mac - Haven’t spent much time with Things yet, but this looks like a beautiful and promising-looking app for doing GTD on your Mac. Very pretty.
- ThinkGeek :: SnūzNLūz - Wifi Donation Alarm Clock - “…everytime you hit the snooze button, the SnūzNLūz will donate a specified amount of your real money to a non-profit you hate.” You have to respect a Rube Goldberg device that’s attached to your personal sense of outrage. [thanks, overhang]
- Products [Merlin Mannerism Widget] - “The Merlin Mannerism Widget provides a different Merlin Mann quote each day from 1 Jan 2008 through 4 Jan 2009.” Oh, lucky you. [thanks, hongkongphooey] That said, if you enjoy this sort of thing, you can also get up-to-date (and very economically worded) Mannerisms from my Twitter posts. On the other hand, if you don’t enjoy this sort of thing, I’m sure you’re not alone.

I couldn’t agree with you more, manp, and I hope I’m not speaking too far out of school to say that dependable sync (which maintains impeccable data integrity) is a very popular topic at OG. IMO, they do know it’s really important to us user types.
