Merlin Mann reviews Virgin America September 29, 2007
Posted by Wade Rockett in Miscellany.add a comment
This is a shot Merlin took from his first-class seat on Virgin America (he flew coach the other way.) Replying to a comment on this pic, he reviews the experience. I’d really like to try this airline out when it begins serving Seattle. Um…assuming that we have money and a destination by then.
If a computer geek is someone who uses a computer in order to be using a computer, what do you call someone who wants to fly somewhere primarily to try out an airline?

Imad is very busy with his most worthy sites linkmosaic.com, mycodemania.com, and mydealmania.com.
Not too busy to treat a guy to lunch, however. Thanks, Imad!

Author Madeleine L’Engle dies at 88.
I first read L’Engle when I was nine years old and living in the Philippines. An excerpt from A Wrinkle In Time ran in one issue of The Children’s Digest. It blew my mind; as soon as I could, I got to the library where I found a copy of the book in the For Sale racks. I can’t count the number of times that I read it.
Random ideas for managing e-mail better September 6, 2007

Delete more messages, more often. There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t really need to know, and absolutely don’t need to act on.
I only need to archive the final message in a thread.
As Brian Oberkirch suggests, make “no” the default answer to requests.
At work, create a “WFH” subject line filter in Outlook that drops those messages into a separate folder. I almost never need to know that one of my colleagues is working from home.
