If Email Signatures Were Honest

Very Funny.

Great Anti-Email post

Jeff Atwood, blogger and coder over at Coding Horror, one of the many blogs I read, had this post up sometime last year, and I thought it was such a good post that I’ve recommended it to a couple friends, but I realized I never actually blogged it.
Jeff discusses a similar topic to what I’ve discussed in [...]

iPad, why it’s interesting

Yesterday, as everyone — including me — expected, Apple introduced their first big foray into the tablet computing market (if you don’t count the iPhone as a tablet) called the iPad.
Which, even I, as an Apple fan, has to admit– is a stupid name.  iSlate, or even “Tablet” would have been better, but, whatever.  (Plus, [...]

Bottom Posting

Recently was chastised for Bottom posting on a Mailing list, so I thought I’d write a few words about it.
I bottom (or inline post) mostly because I like the email to be a message. You read a message or a letter from top to bottom, from left to right. It wasn’t until email [...]

Instapaper is so great

I am not sure if Instapaper has apps for anything other than the iPhone, and I kind of doubt, if that exclusivity exists, that it will last any amount of time.
Instapaper is one of those new 2.0 companies that is web/app based. They provide you a free log in to their website, which by the [...]

False Alarm — No more Thunderbird

Probably belongs in a tweet, but since I blogged about it here, I’ll write it here.
Stopped using Thunderbird.  After it consumed 20 Gigs of space downloading my email, constantly kept my CPU at 80-100% and the hardware fan busy, consuming 500 Megs of RAM…  I ditched it and went back to Gmail on the web.
It [...]

Spam Increase lately?

As I posted on the Internet Storm Center this morning:

Thanks to a reader (Thanks Bob), who wrote in this morning asking if we have seen an increase in spam lately, I can personally confirm that yes, I have seen more spam in my inbox lately.
Bob sent us a couple interesting graphics, the first being a [...]

Rambling on Productivity and Email (Part Three)

The Calendar
The essential part of any productivity system is the calendar. Managing your time for your projects is probably one of the most vital portions to getting anything done. Without disruptions, without the cruft of the day, you can focus on your problem.
The essential problem with any environment is poorly set expectations. [...]

Rambling on Productivity and Email (Part One)

I know I have written many articles on productivity as it relates to Email and GTD before. Check out some past articles here, here, and here. In fact, that last article is my most hit and read article on my blog, in the (almost) five years I’ve been blogging.
Recently, with a lot of [...]

Freedom and Understanding

(From an email list, someone wanted to know how to block services like MobileMe on the network. Normally I’d offer the advice on how to do it, but this time the first question I asked was “Do you local users have Admin to their own boxes?” To which the answer was “Yes.” — [...]
