T-Shirts and Bossy Pants

I'm coming out of the geek closet, and have my new t-shirt to prove it. 

I listen to Back to Work on 5by5.  

It's good. Really good.

The podcast, I mean, not the t-shirt. The t-shirt might be good, too; it just hasn't arrived, yet.

Back to the podcast...

Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin talk about getting stuff done, maintaining your dignity, avoiding "karma sucks", and communicating with everyone else.

Why the app/software/keyboard you use does matter.  Why using index cards will rock-paper-scissor your slideshow-thingy everytime.

How to grill a steak and poke it with your finger to ensure perfection. And why toddlers make great podcast banter.

Look.

When it comes down to it, I rarely tell people what to do.

Okay, that's a lie. 

My nickname as a kid had something to do with bossy pants.   I can't remember.

Another lie. 

But, if you listen to one thing this week other than NPR, try Back to Work.

Try it, you'll like it.
