Bio
Merlin Mann is an independent writer, speaker, and broadcaster. He’s best known for being the guy who created the website you’re reading right now. He lives in San Francisco, does lots of public speaking, and helps make cool things like You Look Nice Today, Back to Work, and Kung Fu Grippe. Also? He’s writing this book, he lives with this face, he suffers from this hair, he answers these questions, and he’s had this life. So far.
Merlin’s favorite thing he’s written in the past few years is an essay entitled, “Cranking.”
Oldies but goldies
Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.
This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.
This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
