    To be like the cool kids I want to play in the [GTD Meme](http://gtd.marvelz.com/blog/2007/06/13/starting-a-gtd-meme-your-killer-gtd-setup/) setup by gtdfrk. I’ve been juggling this article amongst a number of fireballs recently and while it’s taken a little while to get out it wouldn’t have gotten this far without GTD. As a good geek I’ll automate as much of…

    We live in a moment of [impermanence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impermanence). If we live in such a moment why aren’t we making the most of it. Why give energy into anything other than enjoying the experience by maximizing it? I have (with great consultation of my wife) resigned from my former employ. That is to say I have left…

    Yesterday I finished David Allen’s “Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work and Life“. If you are in the concourse of productivity, looking for gems and fine tuning, questions to ask yourself (and [ready to answer](http://blog.nuancelabs.com/2007/02/27/the-importance-of-managing-self/)) then you’re ready to read this offering. I’ve had the book in my possession for years. Picked it…

    We’re back from our quick stint in New York City. Whenever we are in the area I feel like crack is in the water. Our senses–palate–[eyes](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ciordia/sets/72157594518153454/ “Flickr NYC Set”), were sated. Let’s catch up those that weren’t following the [twitter](http://twitter.com/ciordia9)’s, or [photos on the go](http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=30231516%40N00&q=moblog+newyorkcity&m=tags “Flickr + moBlog”). What do you do in the city…

    I can’t seem to get enough of the cold weather so we’re going to head to New York and stay in the city a few days. Arriving Wednesday leaving Sunday, we’ve got to hunker down to a [David Allen](http://www.davidco.com) [seminar](http://www.davidco.com/seminars/seminar_the_roadmap.php) on Thursday. Robin’s really been getting into the GTD swing and once we’re both equalized…

    I tried to get a jump in this weekend but I got on the idea too late and thus couldn’t get on manifest. I turned around and decided to continue the purging and reformation of my office. I’ve fallen out of my [GTD](http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280/sr=8-1/qid=1161623271/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-5890739-0898562?ie=UTF8&s=books) swing and I needed to reinvest the time to get back on…
