Summary

In our first "Workflows" episode we talk with Merlin Mann, or as David calls him, the "Hero of Nerds."  Merlin discussed how he uses his Mac for his work and the applications he uses to be more productive. This extra long episode is packed with geeky goodness. This is a new type of episode for us so we appreciate your feedback.

Mac Power Users Podcast. I'm Katie Floyd alongside with David Sparks. Are you excited David?

0:28.0

Sure, how you doing Katie?

0:30.0

Yeah, this is a different type of show than we've done in the past. Usually we take one topic and go in depth, but you know a lot of the feedback that we're getting from people is you know our workflows are great

0:44.4

but there are so many other options out there that we can't explore just because there are only

0:49.9

so many workflows two people can use.

0:54.0

You know, the thing is, we've done what, 22 episodes now and we've done a great job of covering a lot of the

episodes. And I think most people will agree that there is no more geekier information management power user than Merlin Man.

1:37.0

Yeah I have to admit I am a complete Merlin Man devotee. I like to read his stuff he writes on the web I think is a

1:43.3

brilliant guy and this year Macworld he was giving a talk at the Omni booth so I

1:47.2

went and sat in the front row and afterwards talked to him about it he was

1:50.1

really excited about coming on and talking about his workflow.

1:52.6

So here we go.
