Getting to Zero

In case you missed it, like I did, Merlin Mann has an excellent Google Tech Talk presentation about managing your emails: Inbox Zero.

Watch his presentation and grab the slides in PDF format from the site. I'm personally going to try this, although it might be hard with my current Inbox count being 2,177 items.

The Apple Effect

Why, as I sit here typing this post, have I been itching to get an Apple computer? More specifically, a MacBook Pro laptop. I already have a laptop, provided by work, and a home desktop that is close to 4 years of age but works fine, yet I am here fiddling with the options on the Apple.com web store dreaming about hitting that "Check out now" button with what I think is a decent and conservative configuration. Why do I and so many others want to jump on the Apple bus so badly? Could it possibly be that much better, or are we just being played by excellent marketing tactics and pressure for items that provide social status? What can I do on an Apple computer that I can't do on my current Windows XP machines? Or is it not what I can do, but how easily?

The space and the features that I get are superb for being free, and why would I want to move? Ok, well without going down a rat hole, here is the final cut video Gmail users submitted to Google for the Gmail: Behind the Scenes collaborative movie .

Walk It Off

Walk everyday for 30 minutes at least. Seriously, if you have a good pace, that should be approximately 2 miles, and by the 3rd day of walking, you will feel a big difference in your body. Plus, walking around the neighborhood is good to know your surroundings and socialize with your neighbors. Not to mention the health benefits you're getting with at least 30 minutes of daily exercise. It doesn't sound like much, but it makes a big difference. Try it and tell me how it goes!
