me: my inbox is now a nightmare
me: 270 e-mails I need to either answer or archive or act on
Clark: do not delete stuff--when it comes time to write a book, you will have all the material at hand, and others can help you sift and organize
me: yeeah, I don't delete, I archive
Clark: archiving is time consuming
me: trust me on this - Tarn is a coup
me: he doesn't think so, but he'll be invaluable
me: oh, also
me: Bruce Sterling
Clark: Gmail has an excellent search tool
me: cyberpunk essayist
me: sci-fi author
me: writes for Wired now
me: speculated on identity of al-Jaz piece author
me: so I wrote to him
me: turns out he's in Austin
me: going to be speaking at SXSW interactive
me: wants me to come meet with him to talk about his presentation
me: I think he'll be willing to assist us with ideas on organization, etc
me: sci-fi authors are the ones I really want
me: I'd hand PM over to Neal Stephenson if he was willing
me: Also
me: have you talked much with Campbell?
Clark: i hope tarn hits it off with campbell
Clark: no, i have not heard anything from campbell that was not copied to you, an nothing in the last few days
Clark: unlike me, he is handicapped with a job
Clark: i will copy him on the list of docs and annotations i send to tarn
Clark: probably it will be sent tomorrow
