Don’t Look Down…

This should probably be filed under “reasons to appreciate YouTube”. This pathway, called the El Caminito Del Rey is in Malaga, Spain. It was constructed (lord only knows HOW it was constructed) around 1901 for the purpose of controlling some sluice-ways from the canyon walls into the valley below.

The sure-footed videographer is among the finest free climbers I have ever seen (check out his other videos ). According to the comments on the original Brightcove post (anyone know how to embed Brightcove video in WordPress MU?) the music is “Magic Of Politics” by Micheal Darius, the sampled voice, is John F Kennedy reading Faulkner. The track can be found at Michael Dario’s website.

Extra Dimensions and the Theory of…Everything

Brian Greene takes us on a fascinating journey from the discovery of gravity to the possibility that the universe is made up not of three, but of eleven total dimensions and that all matter is made up of tiny vibrating “strings” of energy…

Finally, GTD with ADD and OCD? Yep, according to Chris Pirillo

As you know, GTD Times is very new. As the Editor I’m still in the early stages of tuning the content mix to determine what people enjoy most, find most useful, most entertaining, most thought provoking, most inspirational, most fun - and most importantly, what keeps you coming back every day to see what’s new here on the site.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of video - since the advent of YouTube and Google Video I’ve discovered content that I would never have seen otherwise - content that has had a profound impact upon me and my life and upon the way I see the world. I’m sure that many of you have also discovered videos that have had a similar impact upon yourselves.

I’d love to know what videos you’ve come across that fit this criteria and I’d love to be able to share them with the GTD community. These do not have to be specific to mastering your workflow and in fact, the more thought provoking, challenging, eye opening or inspirational the better.

Send the links my way and every Sunday I’ll post at least a few of these videos to the site so that the community can benefit from our individual discoveries.

I figure that Sunday would be the best day for this since it is the day of the week when we’re least likely to be at the office where watching a video may be frowned upon, not allowed or inappropriate. After all, Sunday is supposed to be a day or rest, isn’t it? So kick back, put those feet up on top of your tidy desk, and chill out for a few minutes with some video courtesy of GTD Times and the GTD Community…

I think it would be easier just to “Get it done…”

Feeling small? Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

Google has just launched an amazing new service, Custom Time. The new application allows you to control when, as far back as the day Gmail launched (April 1, 2004) , you would like your sent email to arrive and appear chronologically in your recipients in box.

This application is great. Particularly, if for some reason you are Not Getting Things Done (on time) and thus need to resort to some artifice to convince people that you really are just as productive as ever and that their email reading skills are really to blame. Not only can you control the date and time at which an email will appear to have arrived, but you also have the option of making the message appear to have been marked read or unread as your preference (and degree of cruelty) dictate.

Of course it goes without saying that an application this powerful as well as devious should be used sparingly. Not only because using it too frequently might expose you to suspicion and the likelihood of discovery, but also because you could disrupt the space-time continuum, causing a temporal rift that results in you going back to a date and time before you were conceived, interfering with your own conception and causing you to cease to ex…

We all do it. (occasionally) Johnny Kelly finally explains it with this wonderful brilliant film.
