This is sad, like a piece of my geek childhood dying. I would sometimes email him when he was writing for PC Magazine and as a 14 year old it was cool that he always emailed back, engaged in thoughtful conversation.

California has the biggest agriculture, port and manufacturing base in the US basically. The county orders contradict the state.

OC is letting factories stay open with conditions and LA is saying the port stays open as well as the trains, airports (especially KSBD which is Amazon's home base). What a mess.

By the time he was in their office, he was a convicted felon for .... solicitation of minors.

He didn't do a basic Google search to find all the articles about his conviction for child molestation and solicitation?

Scannable was and still is one of the best "take a picture and scan a document" apps out there. But Evernote, which has 15 years of my life stored in it, sucks.

They came around to liking it at around the 20 year mark :)

I worked with REM for the past 20 years. This article is dead on. Learned more from that band about management than from any business mentors.

In aviation there are similar methods of doing checklists:

Say - Do: pilot not flying says the task, pilot flying verifies verbally after doing it.

Challenge - Response: challenge the check list, verbally respond (do the action)

Flow-Confirm: Do all required actions then verbally confirm.

In any case, the verbal and physical confirmation is needed to move on in the checklist.

When flying solo I do "Say-Do"

I love Trello, but they never got enterprise sales down. SSO isn't federated, and the ACL system is leaky (much like Google Drive).

It also is too religiously adherent to the card metaphor (understandable) which works in most contexts but falls down in others where more traditional tools (Jira, Github) shine. We use Trello for a ton, but not mainline work.

I use it as a contact manager, todo list manager, and we use it a lot for card sorting/brainstorming and more "people" type stuff.

I guess I can answer questions here too. Hi there.

It's like detritus without context. Memory is so subjective and left over tweets from ten years are a pseudo objective slant on memory that doesn't really work.

This one.

My usage transitioned over time from a more mundane "here's what I'm up to" to more of a pulpit. I became bored with bother versions of me.

I disagree on this. The companies culture is only a matter in terms of how it manifests within the product itself and the things around the product. It isn't THE product.

I don't buy a product because their CEO's salary is public and I can see what I'd make there in a hugely arbitrary / convoluted form based salary metric. I buy because the product is good and support is good.
