Highrise+GTD-sanity
Subject: integrating Highright with email
Robbie: Hi everyone, I just realized we don't have to paste emails into Highrise. Everyone has a personal dropbox email address that will process and organize emails. http://www.highrisehq.com/email
Ben: dude... magic! i hope we can train ourselves to use it. interesting typo in the subject line.
Robbie: i'm losing my mind. my inbox has reached over 150 and i'm finally doing a massive GTD dump into highrise.
Ben: as we've both discovered independently, gtd is easy. it's gtdgtdgtdgtdgtdgtd that's hard.

Also, the open hats (and maybe the closed hats, too) have a flanger applied to keep them tucked into the mix, which I’m noticing in more and more songs.
