Original Music for Internet Video
I’ve been mesmerized by several really good online videos lately. They are visually stunning but I realize now that I’m attracted to the music as much as anything — original music which really matches the tempo of the video.
I was a big New Order fan in the 80’s so perhaps this is a throwback [...]
Regional Airlines and the Classless Society
When you live in the sticks, you get served by regional airlines. The favorite jet of the regional airline seems to be the Canadair CL-600. They’re sleek, they’re fast and they only carry 50 people, so I assume they are fuel efficient too. Thanks for keeping my flights to under $2000 most [...]
GTD Podcast Wrapup
Some final cool tidbits from the 43folders podcast with David Allen:
-On committing to your organization process: either your head is your organization system, or it’s not. David obviously recommends against using your head, but if you’re going to start getting things out of your head, you’ve got to get everything out. As [...]

I stumbled across David’s email newsletter back in 2001, and printed/saved them until his best seller Getting Things Done came out in print. [...]
The Problem of Anonymity
My airplane reading this for this trip is a book I’ve wanted to read for a few months now: Small is the New Big by Seth Godin. It’s a collection of ‘the best’ of his blog posts over the past 3-4 years. While I spend a lot of time reading online I [...]
Business Travel Essentials
I arrived in San Diego late Sunday afternoon and have checked in at the lovely La Avenida Inn on Coronado Island. It’s a very comfortable (and affordable) little motel which is the perfect place for my psyche. They have friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms and a top notch cable TV selection. [...]
Heading South
I’ve acquired a slight head cold so that can mean only one thing — I’m heading off on an airplane! Yep, I leave Sunday for the Stellent Crescendo conference. I’ll be meeting with some of our hosting customers, the Stellent sales / partner crew and hopefully learn some more about content management too.
The [...]
