You know. Various and sundry videos, podcasts, interviews and other odds and ends that I’ve made with other people or for other projects. It’s all work that I hope you’ll enjoy, because it’s all work that I’m proud of. [RSS Feed]
March 14, 2009 My pal, John Gruber (from daringfireball.net), and I presented a talk at South by Southwest Interactive on Saturday, March 14th. We talked about building a blog you can be proud of, trying to improve the quality of your work, reaching the people you admire, and maybe even making a buck (in a way that doesn’t blow your deal). Here’s what we had to say:
January 27, 2009 Merlin Mann - “Toward Patterns for Creativity” - Macworld PULSE
Here’s a video of my presentation, “Toward Patterns for Creativity,” from earlier this month at Macworld, here in SF.
January 12, 2009 The beginning of a blood-curdling recession hardly seems like the time to ruminate about fantasy resources, I’ll grant you that. But, I want you to think about something. Really think about it.

February 14, 2008 Macworld ‘08: Merlin Mann / “Living with Data”
This was the first edition of a talk that’s already starting to evolve rather quickly. The slides are available at Slideshare.
February 5, 2008 Merlin Mann is an internet guru. He’s best known for his wildly popular lifehacking site 43folders, which offers simple solutions to make work and home life less complicated and stressful.
