Hear: Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass - "A Taste of Honey" - tinyurl.com/6py2vc
Idea: Grids, CSS frameworks - bluetrip.org - blueprintcss.org - designinfluences.com/fluid960gs
Fact: Sweaters from Costco. Shut up.

  • I don't even think I could say that much without having woken up yet.

    960.gs is my framework of choice. Used it for the first time at themartinishaker.com and ever looked back.

    Don't forget there was that shooting rampage at a Jewish organization building. Sure, it was a couple of years ago but being they are secretly running the world, they are the obvious target. The community centre is secretly their NSA building. You think people are making coil pots, that is just what they want you to see.

    So here is my plan. When I run an international secret conspiracy, it may be obvious, but it will remain secret. Secondly, there will be no shooting sprees or bombings that target myself or my group.

    It just makes me think that the secret Jewish Conspiracy *might* just be a load of bunk.

    In order but not really:
    Just subscribed.
    Stumbled upon (this used to be an OK expression but it may be copyrighted now) about a week ago.
    I stumbled upon it via retweet of Screen Flow video on Lifehacker post and not actually stumble upon-irony you ask- not really since I don't use stumble upon.
    The screenflow tour was great-more would be cool.
    I was on your site a few months ago because I thought it was productivity site. Now that it's focused on real productivity for the sake of creative time, I am tuned back in. Actually I was just learning how to tinker with subscriptions on Google Reader and deleted the feed accidentally a couple months ago. I was wondering where it went.

    Costco is the coolest, except for the receipt guy who draws bad smiley faces for my 3 kids. I have at least 20 of their 100% cotton t-shirts and wear them lots. If everyday is lots.
    Tijuana Brass is great unless you are forced to listen to them for 5 hours straight on a road trip-which I was
    I only know Wordpress and tried Drupal for like five minutes- I wanted so badly to learn it, but not at some clients expense.
    The talk was great. It made sense and I think I'll buy those books after I finish the 32 I purchased but didn't read in Q4-hat tip phone guy- I've been all over your stuff lately, but only at lunch in a rainman kinda way. Were you talking to a room of dentists or MAC folks. Lively crowd. I thought the stuff was funny and useful.
    I like to batch comments so no worries I won't leave this kind of crap daily. I'm extremely OCD but inconsistent with it- which is the preferred strain of OCD.
    Really enjoy the videos. Back to creating stuff.

    Thanks,

    The end credits – amazing.
    Thanks for the BlueTrip tip also, I've been wanting to get seriously involved in web design after being lazy about it forever and this is a good place to start.

    It's perfectly okay to make fun of your own race, provided you're doing it for the amusement of people of a different race. For examples, see the careers of Mssrs. Murphy, Eddie; Rock, Chris; and Chappelle, Dave.

    Unless you're a redneck and want to make other rednecks laugh with you and normal whities laugh AT you.

    Loving the Fisherman Chic thing you've got going on today.

    My childhood self is so envious of your sodastream. We were not a sodastream family when I was growing up. Nor were we a video recorder family. Nor a microwave family. We occasionally got to chop wood though if we were very good.

    You know, my childhood was filled with seltzer -- is that not strange? Not from the sodastream, obviously. But we drank lots of seltzer. And hot tea from regular water glasses with dinner, every night.

    Grid CSS frameworks FTW.

    The audio of today's video was all peaky and unpleasant and hard to understand in places. WHAT DID YOU CHANGE‽
  • Merlin Mann plus 10 months ago
    I dunno but you're right. It does suck mightily. Sorry 'bout that.

    I was in a rush to get home and remove everything from my trunk that might spook a security guard (or I woulda redone it).

    Lo siento.

    Just want to say that I really liked the talk you pimped. I don't know if you get this feeling too, but it's like so many things have been pointing me in the right direction, and when you're on your way, all the bullshit becomes VERY noticable. For me, the combination has been The Wire, advice bombardment on Twitter, getting real advice from actual working creative people, Stephen King and Twyla Tharp (Thanks), seeing a friend who worked in the music industry start a shitty Amazon Affiliate link trap "blog," and seeing a friend who's been acting in commercials for years finally get his first feature, and that feature being nominated for Oscars ("Frozen River".)

    Hopefully all this doesn't sound too cheesy, but your talk seems to support the real thing, and you realize that pretty much nothing else does that on the internet.

    Okay, that's all I got.

    SodaStreams were *HUGE* in the UK when I was a kid (img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05_03/kenwood0805_468x644.jpg). Somehow, cola you carbonated yourself tasted twice as sweet. Given the amount of seltzer and soda consumed in the Begbie household, I may well have to order me one of these newfangled ones.

    Love that you love Stephen King too. Noticing (then lovingly pervert) the ordinary takes a bucketload of skill that few have.

    What's up with the MacWorld talk audience? They didn't laugh at your jokes, or even seem to get what you were talking about.

    My parents had a vinyl copy of "Whipped Cream & Other Delights." As a young boy, I was always intrigued by the cover. I'm proud to say that after tracking it down today, I still am.

    Is there any bad clip from Mr. Show? That show was simply brilliant. "My shoes hurt too."

    What is seltzer? Is it fizzy water? We had a soda stream when I was a kid in the early 80s and the cola was not so nice. The lemonade was okay though. So are you drinking just carbonated water? That's the one thing I miss about Luxembourg, where I lived for 7 years and whence I moved a year ago. Rosport Blue, the finest sparkling water EVER.

    Oh hey Merlin!
    I suggest you listen to just about anything by Tiny Vipers. That lady has pipes.
