Writing a Book in Google Docs - Lucky bastard. I might (might!) have made it to the end if it weren’t for O’Reilly’s godforsaken MS Word templates. But, you know. Ours was not a project without its share of human error. What do you say, Brian and Danny? Would we have made it with the Google docs?- Sullivan nod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Oh, man. That waiter’s nodding trick Michael Ferguson taught me has a name. [thanks, Ben Durbin]
- Design View / Andy Rutledge - Falling Down - Beautiful essay. Go. Read. “What is uncertain is how you will respond to that stumble and fall and how gracefully you will descend and emerge from it.” [via del/fritz.bogott]
- frankschmitt.org / Creating a “Sub Account” with GMail and Mail.app - Clever use of Gmail labels to make life on your iPhone easier. [via del/frankschmitt]
Wookie Roar | Ask MetaFilter - Very handy. I will totally use this until I get as good as Tracy Morgan. “It’s easier if you start like you’re about to let out a big, loud yawn, and then…go into a dry gargle.” (And, yes, I know the “correct” spelling; and, no, I did not write the headline. Thanks, Red 5, now back to Aunt Beru’s basement with you)- StuffSafe : Online Home Inventory Software - Okay-looking (weirdly-Windows-like) app for doing a home inventory. So, you guys: does anybody know an insurance-company-friendly app for cataloging your crap? Seems like everybody needs something like this, but not one of the apps I’ve seen (Mac or web) has floated my boat. How ‘bout you?

Hindsight
Oh, Merlin, it’s probably best not to second guess the whole tragedy of our book failure. I’m sure there were a number of variables that could have helped tip the scale. But in any event, the whole experience made our relationship stronger, didn’t it?
