Those things which inspire rethinking what’s possible generate energy.
Tools that succeed enable the harnessing of that potential power.

The torrent is upon us, those of us beneath the wave are struggling for air; sucking it out of each other’s lungs.

I am interested to hear more about how your “Blackberry has increased [your] productivity elevenfold.”
Well, for one, it’s email and the web on the go, wherever I am. That means, with the deluge of email I receive — I swear, it’s 30 important, 200 trivial emails a day now — I can actually respond to or at least read more of it…
Then it’s directions and figuring out where the hell I am — again, wherever I am. This means less preplanning and worrying about Google mapping… I’ve got it with me!
Then it’s restaurant reviews… repeat after me, wherever I am! And technorati lookups… and the news… and blog posts… I mean — ok, it was cool when I used to lug a book around and read, but I have to admit, being a wireless head does lead to being more accessible and on top of everything going on.
That said, I do find that my ADD suckz0r more than ever. Must, erhmm, work on that.
Oh, and Dodgeballing is a piece o’ cake — as is managing my ToDo with GooToDo.
Oh, and taking notes on the go, jotting down blog and tshirt ideas. I mean — just being able to have all this functionality in a device only 50% wider than my previous phone is so handy.
The worst part: I’ll never be able to go back!
Chris, are you blogging drunk again?
Fredo, I don’t think he is. I don’t see any blood, at least.
Actually, I’ve been quite sober since I left Flock. Fancy that, eh?
“How will we deal with the deluge of information raining down upon us?”
Ooooh, my favorite subject.

[...] I’ve created the Tumblelog category to capture stream-of-conscious thoughts as they happen. In fact, I intend to start blogging more from my Crackberry. We’ll see how this goes. It’ll be different from Untitled, unfinished, incomplete as that category is reserved more for “public drafts”… stuff I never completed, had intended to, but will probably never get back to again. [...]
[...] That’s not exactly the original idea, but it actually makes a lot of sense and, the more that Tara and I use our Blackberries, the more we see a need for standard micro-interfaces. Sure it’s great that you can download my hcard into your address book from your regular web browser, but the same seems not to hold true on mobile devices. [...]
