Actually most modern OS’s out there today share the same problem: The filesystem.

The Minimalist’s Guide to a Jailbroken iPhone →
Nice article by David Turnbull. Worth a read, even if you’re already practicing minimalistic jailbreaking on your iPhone (or whatever).
Patrick Rhone’s Review of TaskPaper for iPhone →
Minimal Mac’s first look at the new minimalistic to-do app for the iPhone, TaskPaper. It’s not as robust as Things or The Hit List are, but not everyone needs a to-do list app that is that powerful — some people prefer a bare bones workflow. (And not to mention TaskPaper offers over-the-air syncing.)

When I ask you for your opinion I’m not asking you for the right answer.
Jason Fried’s Video Interview on Big Think →
For class today your instructor, Mr. Fried, will be teaching on office culture, the pitfalls of well-funded startups, and why making something that is very simple yet highly effective is the best thing you can do for your company.
Your homework is to read this post from 2008 on how office culture is formed (or rather, how it isn’t).
(And for extra credit, check out the behind-the-scenes info on how this video interview was produced.)

Here, File File! →
Absolutely gorgeous iPhone utility that lets you access all of the files on your Mac from your iPhone. If your Mac is on and connected to the internet then Here, File File connects to it and lets you navigate, view, and even email(!) any file. When emailing you can attach the file to the email or the Here File, File utility will upload it from your Mac to the Web and put a download link into the email body instead of an attachment. It’s a $7 app, but is practically worth the cost just to fiddle with it. (Via Sebastiaan.)
Merlin Mann’s Interview with Seth Godin →
Even if you don’t like Merlin and you don’t like Seth, this is still a worthwhile 35-minute conversation. My point being that I listened to this show because Merlin and Seth are two of my heroes, but even if you don’t track with these guys, you would still benefit from this interview.

The 2009 Felton Report →
I highly recommend you order the 4-color, letterpressed, print version while you can. I’ve been getting these since the 2006 edition, and they’re always worth the few bucks.
What’s inside this year?
Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist — any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.

What a clever and fun campaign. And don’t just skim the pictures, there’s a great interview with DJ Neff, the Creative and Art Director. (Via Neven.)
“Upon Returning From Haiti” →
There are countless heroes that have done great deeds for those in Haiti. My friend, Randy, is merely one of them. What he saw and felt during his three-day visit to Port au Prince is gripping, to say the least.

Nice work by Pat Dryburgh. And don’t miss round two, which includes Gmail, Google Calendar, and the best Mint and Fever iPhone icons I’ve seen yet.
