So I’m reading people’s GTD systems and I’m struck by this realization: these are people who work 8 hours a day. If I maintained a GTD list, I would be spending half of my work time updating it. I just don’t work that much. I work when I feel like it. Mostly I […]

I’ve been watching Sliders, which is this old TV show from, oh, the nineties maybe, where these folks get stuck sliding from parallel universe to parallel universe trying to find their way home. And each parallel Earth is similar-but-different. They meet their doubles and doppelganger hijinks ensue. So in one of those worlds, […]

I feel like starry-eyed like the purveyer of a new revolution. It’s Web 2.0, man! It’s open source culture! Dig it! I’m writing notes everywhere, trying to figure out my thoughts. I’m reading articles about the rise of Barak Obama and Web 2.0 sensibilities. I’m finding the cool kids and plotting my strategy to […]
