Warning: audio slightly NSFW.
This video by Merlin Mann had me laughing a great deal. It’s helpful if you’re already familiar with the growing Steampunk trend (BB readers know/love/hate this already).
For a few excellent examples of why people tend to love Steampunk so much, check out The Steampunk Workshop.
For me, the posting of this video has zero to do the whole Steampunk subculture, and everything to do with Merlin’s style of humor. He just genuinely makes me laugh, even when he’s talking about more serious matters.
For those who may not know him, Merlin also runs 43 Folders, and talks a great deal about personal productivity. One of his most recent talks on Time and Attention really resonated with me.
I’ll take this opportunity to once again re-emphasize how much that particular talk influenced my current approach to work: if you’re finding yourself short on time and full up with stress… check out Re-Negotiation and the *Ding*.
i *hate* that every third post on BB is steampunk. BOOOOOOORING.
