I’ve no idea how this only has 50 views, or how I missed that this was posted finally - 2 months ago. I give the gentlest “whoo” like the crazy northwest owls to this lengthy talk about social media in the lives of John Roderick, Jonathan Coulton, Merlin Mann, Scott Simpson, and the ever classy John Hodgman. All helping people.

Merlin Mann - “Steampunk DIY” (2008)
As you may know, I’m an ardent fan of “steampunk.” Here’s a DIY project I recently completed.

On Chasing the Right “Zero”
Not to be all “Merlin Mann” or anything, but, maybe somebody will find this useful.
I was recently asked to talk about how I think about the infamous Inbox Zero these days, and here’s what I said:
-
Merlin Mann and his lovely wife as Jean Grey and Scott Summers. By Jade Gordon.
No words. Jade hits another one out of the park.

Back to Work Lock Screens
You’ll literally never guess whose is whose. Literally.

John Roderick on String Art Owls, Copper Pipe, and Bono’s Boss on Vimeo (The Merlin Show; Prod. Ben Durbin; 2007)
People ask about the exact origin of Roderick on the Line.
But, while the whole story of how John first ended up sleeping at our house one night in 2002 has never been told in the exhaustive detail it deserves, I can tell you that this 5-year-old video captures the first time I officially interviewed John as an actual thing.
I like it a lot, and the unintentional genesis of Roderick on the Line is clearly in there.
Alongside John’s 2011 interview for Back to Work, you’ll definitely get the feel for why we thought chatting each week might be a useful way for John to help many, many people.

5by5 | Screen Time #14: Cinematic Industrial Complex (with Merlin Mann)
All the time we spend feeling stung about anything in our lives are hours and days that we’re not spending on figuring out what to do next. Or, what to do next next.
I like this interview. Moisés Chiullan is a good man.
