Interesting concept - I have...

Interesting concept - I have actually programmed my brain to do this very thing with the help of my fiancee. Every time I leave the house or her dorm, she simply says, "cell phone keys wallet" which is a trigger in my brain to check my pockets for those things. Now she's done it so often that I do it automatically basically anytime I leave a room.

The downside is now she messes with my head because she'll purposefully take one of those things from me without my knowledge and then say the magic words to freak me out thinking my wallet is lost.

We love each other so much...

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. »
