Merlin Mann - “Staying Up” on Huffduffer

(As heard in Back to Work #66: “Horseradish on My Raccoon”)

One of my favorite things about Squarespace is their reliability and uptime. It really is a rock-solid place to hang your stuff.

As a pæan to these Fireball-proof virtues—and a loving tribute to my favorite 80s synthpop band—here’s this week’s tune, “Staying Up.”

If you’re not already using Squarespace to host and run your online world, please consider giving them a spin.

(As heard in Back to Work #65: “A Light Dusting of Life”)

Squarespace has been a really good friend to me. I love their service, I adore the people who work there, and I’m very grateful that they’ve been such a supportive and longtime sponsor of the Back to Work podcast I do with Dan Benjamin over on his 5by5.tv network.

This month, I told our Squarespace contact, Ryan Stansky, that I wanted to try something special. Because, I’ve always felt like Squarespace and Back to Work have a lot in common.
