A goofy video of Shawn Blanc, Ben Brooks, Stephen Hackett and myself screwing around at Macworld. Apropos of nothing.

Macworld 2012: What I’m Bringing and How to Find Me

January 25, 2012

Within a few minutes, I’ll be hopping on a jet plane for 4 days of fun and nerdery at Macworld in San Francisco. This will be my first time at Macworld, so I wanted to talk about two things: what I’m taking with me (in terms of tech stuff) and how to find me if you’re going to be in the area.

What I’m Bringing

Tech-wise, I’ll be packing pretty lean this go-round. Things that I’ll certainly be bringing are:

All of these things will be stored neatly in my trusty Ristretto bag by Tom Bihn. It can house all of them with room to spare, but not a ton of extra room, frankly.

I’m not sure how much time I’ll be spending doing serious typing, but adding the ZAGGfolio to the mix involved a relatively small cost in terms of spent space in my bag and will go a hell of a long way toward allowing me to do some longer-form writing, should the mood and occasion strike.

How to Find Me

I’m planning on doing a buttload of socializing while at/around the conference, so I’ll be available for drinks/coffee/caramels if anybody is up for it. The best way to get in touch if you want to get together in SF is to message me on Twitter. If we already know each other, you’re welcome to invite me to a temporary list in Find My Friends. I’ll also be using Foursquare while I’m there and will be accepting all friend requests at the start of the trip (and unfriending everybody as soon as I get home — sorry if that seems priggish).

Really looking forward to this — hope to see you there :)

On this week’s episode of the UK’s favorite cooking show, Myke and I discuss the Kindle 4, blog comments (or the lack thereof) and how Myke is pretty horrible about doing backups of his computers.

OmniFocus Perspectives Galore ∞

Internet pal and fellow OmniFocus nerd Sven Fechner produces some of the finest OmniFocus nerdery on the web. This is a series of posts dealing with the black art of Perspectives in OmniFocus.

If you’re an OmniFocus user get ready to take the afternoon off and have your hair curled for you.

OmniFocus Statistics

January 11, 2012

I saw that Internet pals David Sparks and Sven Fechner had run this sweet little app by Rob Trew that generates a poopload of stats about their OmniFocus databases, so I had to get in on the party. Here’s mine:

Todo.txt Touch for iOS Now Available ∞

Also includes some interesting stats on opening-day sales between iOS and Android (a bit of an apples v. oranges comparison, though).

The universal app costs $1.99 in the App Store and, since it’s open source, you can read through the code on Github. Big up’s to Gina and crew for shipping!

Macworld Pipe iWorld! ∞

I’m going to be at Macworld later this month along with several other blogger types. It should be a really good time and I’m super excited about being there.

If you’re going to be at the show, ping me on Twitter or something and maybe we can meet for a drink or a bunch of caramels.

Cooking with Brett and Myke — Smoked Chicken Salad ∞

Whoa, what the heck? Yeah, we just released a new episode at the end of last week now we’re back to our regular schedule. Don’t make a big thing about it.

This week we talk quitting smoking, Britain and other stuff wherein I’m totally sick and sound dumber than usual. Don’t miss it!

One kid cracks another kid across the face with an iPad ∞

Totally asked for it, in my opinion.
