The VirginEye visualizer
I’m currently attending the Fuel Conference in London. I just saw Alex Hunter from Virgin talk about the online marketing campaign they ran to launch Virgin America. The really interesting thing showed us was a fantastic new 3D visualizer called the Virgin Eye (click through to view) which captures articles from over 5000 news channels and displays them as a sort of star systems. Much like the Digg Labs visualizer, but still very cool!
Here’s a static view:

Zero Inbox Widget
I’ve recently made the push to get to Inbox Zero. It’s a productivity technique popularized by Merlin Mann for dealing with the ever increasing deluge of email. It feels great when you get there, but as with every productivity methodology you have to stick at it and continually do it. Sometimes I need a little reminder on things like this, so I created a very simple Dashboard widget to help. I have this running constantly and it acts as a visual reminder every time I flick to my Dashboard of what I need to do to maintain my Inbox Zero.
If you are interested, you can download the widget here. I hope it helps with your quest to get to and maintain your empty inbox.

Continuous Integration presentation
I recently created a new presentation on Continuous Integration. It’s pretty nifty if I do say so myself! I was trying to simplify the message from my previous presentations and also provide some good actionable steps people can follow to implement CI.
Update
My presentation was recently one of the Featured presentations on Slideshare. Dunno if that really means anything, but it’s nice anyway. Apparently a few people added it to their favorites so it can’t be all bad!
