Looking Ahead to Windows 7: “This week I met with Intel and Microsoft to discuss the upcoming Windows 7 launch. I’ve been testing out the latest release candidate for sometime now, and have been very impressed. Certainly, the new UI changes are spiffy, but what has impressed me most is how hast and responsive the OS feels – more so than my experiences with Vista, and even Windows XP. Granted, I am using a Core 2 Duo 3.06ghz system, which although already a year old, it is still considered to be a pretty fast processor.”

Getting started with “Getting Things Done” | 43 Folders.

From Merlin Mann at 43 Folders.  Being in a new job and working on some new projects I needed to revisit this.

I read David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done (GTD) in 2004.  It changed the way I worked and live.  Merlin Mann is someone I listen to whenever I can and he has some videos on his web site of presentations he has done, I recommend them.

This commentary on GTD is definitely inspiring and I recommend anyone add 43Folders to their RSS feed.
