Truly astounding. = )

that guy has WAY too much time on his hands to make a video about such an optimization that perhaps .00001 % of the population actually cares about. Reminds me of the network news.

wonderful advice.

mis-pulled stickies are almost as annoying as those left on my monitor ("he won't miss it here") that tend to appear just as I have something important to do.

We need classes for the 99.9999 who don't get it.

Clearly, Nate, you've never heard about Affinity Mapping. This is a *great* simple hack that I wish Dave would have taught us in his session at VizThink this year. [grin]

Love the videos, Dave - keep 'em coming! Is this the future of Communication Nation? I hope so...

And for all this time I had curly post-it's on my bedroom/studio wall!
Haha nate needs an MA in post-it theory by the sounds of it! Keep more of these 'tongue-in-cheek-funny-nerdy-but-at-the-same-time-
stupidly-overlooked-useful-technique-vids' coming please

OK Dave! I emailed this link to Mark Lukas to point out that you've finally lost your mind. The next day I found my stickies behavior changing based upon this video. You win this round.

It's actually more helpful than it first appears.

One of the most useful items I've seen on the internet in quite some time.

(Sorry about arriving late to the party.)

I love it. I was searching for a different Dave Gray sticky note post and found this one. The reason I was searching for the other post is that I am just posting about sticky notes, including the stress and frustration of 388 sticky notes raining down on a humid day!
