I’m floored and very pleased by Amazon’s recent announcement of the Kindle MatchBook program. This is obviously a big deal for current Kindle customers and for ebook readers in general, but I think it’s an even bigger deal for those who haven’t yet “gone digital.” Only time will tell, but I think this will disrupt… Continue reading Kindle MatchBook is a HUGE deal.

First Finder cleanup results
Things I learned: 1) You can just delete all those f-cking .dmg files. Cool! Thanks 2) When I take notes on a detailed phone conversation, event, or podcast recording session, I sure do need to jot down your full name and how I know you. Harry and Michelle, you barely made it through the cracks.… Continue reading First Finder cleanup results
Form over function: The Fashion Edition
I fell deeply in love with this purse on first glance to the point where I probably would have been willing to shell out the $178 (marked down from $400!) even when I wasn’t specifically in the market for a new bag, because it was so beautiful and seemed so incredibly functional. But once I… Continue reading Form over function: The Fashion Edition
Amazon affiliate link bookmarklet
I signed up for Amazon affiliate links a few months back, even though I’m pretty sure one person ever has actually used one to buy something. I figure it just can’t hurt, ya know? I often link to products I discuss in my posts, and in my mind there’s no reason not to try to… Continue reading Amazon affiliate link bookmarklet
Search engine terms are SO weird
I just thought you should know that, since I installed JetPack a few months ago, these are the search terms by which people have apparently found this site. Some of them totally make sense; some less so. Perhaps you’ll find them even a smidge amusing; I sure did. virginia roberts 36 cherry blossom shirt 6… Continue reading Search engine terms are SO weird
OmniSavvy
When I first started listening to Back to Work, I had never heard of OmniFocus or Getting Things Done with David Allen. But since hearing Merlin extoll this system’s virtues, I got on board and eventually got the book (print AND Kindle), and eventually even wound up buying a Mac and shelling out for both… Continue reading OmniSavvy
The Internet ROCKS.
I swear, I don’t know what I’d do if we’d never come up with this whole interconnected awesomeness thing. I re-launched my business earlier this year, which involved picking a new business name. It was incredibly hard to come up with a name I liked that was also what my business needed, and I was… Continue reading The Internet ROCKS.
Back the f*ck out of Marco Arment’s finances
This is one of those TL;DR scenarios. I’ll do my best to sum it up quickly. –Yahoo bought Tumblr for a boatload of money. -Marco Arment used to work for Tumblr; he weighs in on the acquisition in depth and eloquence, with a small passing mention of gratitude for the generosity of his former employer… Continue reading Back the f*ck out of Marco Arment’s finances
Back to Mac after fifteen years
I finally purchased a 13″ retina MacBook Pro for my birthday/business/a desperately needed upgrade. I’m mostly happy to be back to Mac for the first time since I was a teenager, but I’m still struggling with more than a few aspects of this transition. I’ve become a bit of an Apple nerd without a Mac… Continue reading Back to Mac after fifteen years
More defense of email
We all know that many big tech figures hate email. Merlin, Dan, and Marco have all been pretty vocal about this, and I totally get it they’re media figures in a way I’m not so they get flooded in a way I don’t. But I still maintain that email is the best medium for oh… Continue reading More defense of email
