You get a really big geek! That’s Jeff Whitfield in a nutshell. Filled with rants, raves, and other geeky nonsense, Steamd is a no holds barred look at the world through the eyes of a geek.</p> <p>Whether he's reading the news, at work, coming into work, coming home from work, watching TV, listening to a podcast, or doing whatever it is that he does on a daily basis, eventually something will inspire Jeff and cause him to want to tell people about it. Or it could just be something that pisses him off at the time. Either way, Steamd was born as a way to document his ideas and thoughts as well as vent some frustration should it arise.</p> politics, rants, raves, technology, geek, apple, microsoft, entertainment Jeff Whitfield Jeff Whitfield jeffwhitfield@gmail.com no no Inbox Zero Presentation http://www.steamd.net/2008/02/inbox-zero-presentation.html http://www.steamd.net/2008/02/inbox-zero-presentation.html#comments Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:05:05 +0000 jwhitfield http://www.steamd.net/?p=48 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> I had a lot of fun doing the presentation and hope to do it again. Thanks to all who came out and participated in the presentation. You made it worthwhile and set me at ease during my presentation.

In an effort to protect Merlin Mann’s work, I can’t post my presentation online. I respect Merlin a lot and love everything he does. As such, I highly recommend visiting his Inbox Zero site and viewing the presentation he did for Google.

I’ll be exploring one particular topic that I hope to turn into a presentation real soon. It’ll be about the use of frameworks in development. Hopefully will have something put together real soon.

Parr Library in Plano. The presentation will be on e-mail and heavily based on a prior presentation made by Merlin Mann (43 Folders).

Merlin did a series of articles on his site called Inbox Zero and later on did a presentation for Google. I was absolutely amazed at the common sense approach to managing a large amount of e-mail and felt that others would benefit from it as well. My presentation will follow the same basic presentation that Merlin did but will reflect my own experience as an IT professional. For the last 3 1/2 years or so I have worked as an IT Assistant for a small architectural firm and have worked with plenty of people who are e-mail challenged. My hope is that this experience will come across in this presentation and will show others how a lack of e-mail management can hinder productivity.

Check out the Refresh Dallas website for more details! If you’re interested in coming, be sure and RSVP on the website. Although Refresh Dallas is an organization based around web developers and designers, this presentation isn’t limited to a particular group. So if you know someone who is e-mail challenged, bring them along! Just be sure and let the Refresh guys know you’re bringing someone in your RSVP.

See you there!
