About

My Head

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been poking around my little blog a bit and wanted to know a little more about it (and, quite possibly, me). Well, here’s the short-and-skinny:

I started this blog in December of 2006 after reading Getting Things Done by David Allen (if you haven’t read it, it’s a fantastic book and has helped me a great deal). My newfound excitement about personal productivity was the primary reason for starting this website: a way to communicate little nuggets of wisdom and whatnot to whomever on the old Internet wanted to read them. I try to be as pragmatic as possible in my writing - creating content that will be short on theory and long on usefulness and practicality. Whether or not I’ve succeeded thus far is anybody’s guess, really. I’ve been able to churn out a fair bit of stuff over the past few months and have no plans of letting up. So stay tuned.

Oh, and if you’re curious about the name of this blog, read this.

If you’re wanting more information on me, keep reading.

My name is Brett Kelly. I’m a programmer from Southern California, where I’ve lived all my life. I’m married to a fantastically foxy redhead (who apparently hasn’t realized what a doofus she married). We currently are parents to an incredibly cool little boy named Holden, and we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of his baby sister Nora in June of 2007. I love to read books and websites, and I’m something of a coffee enthusiast. I’m passionate about personal productivity and am always looking for new/interesting problems to solve (either through software or otherwise).

If you want to get in touch with me, you can do so by emailing brett at brettkelly with a .org at the end. I love hearing from people who read this site, so feel free to drop me a line for any reason (or no reason at all).

You can read the longer version of the personal bit on my homepage at brettkelly.org, which also contains links to my pictures, bookmarks and all that jazz.

Thanks for stopping by!
