E-mail has gone from a cool new way to stay in touch with
people, to the standard form of communication. Because of
this, our inboxes are getting more and more cluttered, and
now we have to decide how to handle the overwhelming amounts
of e-mails, and how to do this efficiently and effectively.
Merlin Mann (43folders, 5ives, The Merlin Show)
has come up with a system to help us with this constant
struggle. He recently presented this to a group of folks at
Google, and was kind enough to not only post this video on
his site, but also posted the code so that anyone can post
it on their site. So, without further ado:
Great work Mr. Mann.

So, I've done it again. I've redesigned my site....
AGAIN. The last redesign was only 5 months ago, but I must admit
that design was just a stepping stone to this one. If you
recall, I wanted something less busy, as I thought the
previous design was starting to get a bit too crazy, and I
was adding stuff to it just for the sake of adding stuff to
it. With the last design, I got rid of all the unnecessary
garbage, and I must admit, I really liked it. I've
continued with that idea in this new design, but I've added
a bit more. The "more" in this case, however, was not added
for the sake of adding. I really thought it through, and
only added "more" cause I thought "more" was necessary.

Folks, I've spent this past week enjoying a fantastic podcast:
The Maniacal Rage Podcast (formerly the Garrett Murray
Podcast). I'm listening to Epis
ode 12 right now as a matter of fact, and am loving it.
I don't really listen to podcasts to be honest with you, but
when I heard this one, I was hooked. The reason: It's
hilarious, and it's about random funny topics - that's all.
It has nothing to do with web design or technology or
anything of that nature. It's just plain old funny. And
funny is what I need when sitting in front of my computer 10
hours a day, coding websites.
There are currently 21 episodes of which you can listen.
The first 18 are referred to as the Garrett Murray podcast
(hence the URL). The reason for the change, is because
Garrett is always joined by his friend Shawn Morrision, and
they decided it'd make sense to change the name. Both of
these guys are very funny, run-of-the-mill kinda guys who
work well together.
So, I highly recommend having
a listen. You won't be disappointed.
