WordPress has really come a long way. They enlisted the help of the amazing designers at Happy Cog who have done a great job on the administration interface. I've just recently upgraded to this new version, and so far am really enjoying it. However, I picked the wrong time to do it as my beautiful baby daughter was born shortly after (more on this later), and some of the stuff in the upgrade rendered a few of my plugins useless. And since she was born, I haven't had the time to fix these up until now. All the issues are fixed now. I apologize if you came here before and noticed any issues. I plan on writing about this new upgrade in the future, however, I have more important things to take care of first.

The day has finally come! Since my POS HP took another crap on me, I've decided enough is enough. So I went out and bought myself a shiny new Mac. And I must say, I'm so glad that I did! I love this thing. It never ceases to amaze me just how much slicker a Mac is over a PC, and a majority of the reason is the software. Mac just has the coolest stuff.

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.
