Merlin Mann has a What’s your favorite minimalist wallet? thread happening over on 43 Folders. [here]

I tried the Jimi. Too small.

This one is perfect.

It’s a business card case I bought at the Dell company store on a business trip 5 years ago. I have used it ever since. Holds more than a Jimi, but those are 3 X 5 index cards next to wallet, to give you some sense of scale.

I would never go back to a real wallet, like my father carried.

Dell could score some serious bonus points (especially after the fiasco with Samantha’s computer) with me by sending me a bunch of these to distribute to friends and family.

I installed IE7 Beta 2 tonight. It lasted 15 minutes.

What ended its stay? Opening a new tab crashed the application.

Let me know when: It. Just. Works.

There is likely some secret squirrel hack that fixes this. I don’t want to hear it. An application at this level of pre-release development should not encounter a bug as simple as this.

I have been using the Jimi Wallet for about a week, and I have retired it for now.

I can’t operate with just five cards. I have too much happening in my life. I know that this violates all of the GTD principles, but I already have it narrowed down to a folding leather business card holder. And for my life, it holds what I need.

New Microsoft Browser Raises Google’s Hackles

Microsoft, you have got me to say something that supports something you are doing. Ain’t viral marketing grand?

Now shut up and sit down.
