I spent today watching the corgi and Sandra run dog agility, my job is to keep the boy happy.  While pushing Jake around the agility course I listen to recorded books and podcasts on an iPod.

I listened to a talk given at the recent  SouthbySouthwest Conference in Austin by Merlin Mann and John Gruber called “HOWTO: 149 Surprising Ways to Turbocharge Your Blog With Credibility!“  The topic could have been How to Turbocharge Anything-You-Really-Want-to-Do with Credibility.   I found the podcast inspiring enough to listen to twice.  It’s good weekend listening, especially since you’ll need the time, it’s about 60 minutes.

John Gruber writes a well-read, well-written blog called Daring Fireball, certainly worth reading if you’re not already.  Merlin Mann is one of the 5 Web Folk I Admire – Something I don’t do easily. He’s interesting, funny, smart and very annoying. I once wrote to The Bloggess, who is the funniest person on Twitter, that I like reading her very much but was okay not being married to her.  I like reading Merlin Mann very much, but am okay not being married to him, either.

Listen to the podcast.
