More Brian Lehrer Action: Webapps and Email

August 20th, 2009 by Kevin Purdy

Mint.com income
Not my real income/spending, but, damn, Mint.com makes self-reflection look sexy.

I’m really enjoying my guest stint on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC, public radio for New York City. When someone, be it a host or caller, forces you to actually talk about something you write about every morning in short bursts, it brings a new kind focus to it. You’re forced to think about the most commonly applicable aspects of technology and productivity thinking–what I like to call the “Brother-in-Law Test” (more on that some other time).

Since I know you’re crushed to have missed the segments when they originally aired, they’re embedded below: Aug. 13, talking about web applications and universal capture tools, and the Aug. 20 segment, focused on email.

    Mint sounded like a good idea when I saw it, but it lacks support for some of the banks in Australia. We’re really lacking in Web based apps like these to suit Aussies :(
