@Clay: Nice one!

I tried my best to be a Ninja... I gave it an honest try... but realized I was not really fit to be one. Now I am a jumbled messp--I use Firefox on my Windows laptop and at work FreeBSD desktop and Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn laptop. :-)

@Dave Navarro: Ninja Parade clip was awesome. I sent it out all my friends and enemies!

Am I the only one working here (being productive) or what?

Hey Clay, you forgot the "killer" tools. All Ninjas use "killer" tools. They "kill" their email, they "kill" their tasks, they "kill" their coworkers... oops, damn, no, sorry...

One way to protect yourself might be to learn what you can from the film, "untraceable." Other than that, might I suggest the film or book called, "Catch Me if You Can?"

Well if I had a productivity ninja name it would be "Mr. Productivity Depends."

And if you're thinking, "depends on what?" you didn't get it.

Oh, and Sonia: of course it's a tool. Just like Budweiser is really beer.

"Ninjettes."

Now that just sounds hot.

Daniel — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:37:39 -0000

Yup, I believe they are called Ninjettes

@Sonia -
Do Ninjas have sidekicks?

Good going -- you just totally fucked up my Halloween costume for this year.

Can I take this opportunity to tell the entire Internet that I like IE and my PC just fine and they can kiss my Windows-using ass? It's a tool, people, not a religion. Thank you so much.

"Mr. Productivity Pants" is so good that I may never recover. You should register the URL immediately.

I think I may be the Productivity Sidekick.

I have a productivity blog and I don't know why you have to make fun of us... :D No seriously, that was one of the best posts, I've used the term myself (Heck, I'm linked in) and I laughed my a*s off :)

Now that you mention it, it is pretty weird, and to prevent future shame, I may be using productivity martial arts expert, or productivity savant from now on :)

Awesome post man, it feels good to be made fun of sometimes (it opens our eyes :)

Please let number 5 be correct!

@Zen Dad: you are right, productivity ninjas would use a mac. All beautiful people use a mac. Productivity hackers, on the other hand, are required to use some sort of linux distro - preferrably Ubuntu. BTW, true hackers would never actually call it "Ubuntu", but rather they are required by law to use those clever alliterations Ubuntu uses for its various versions: Fiesty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon, Jaded Jaguar, Kleptomaniac Kougar, etc. (Yes, open source police, I made the last two up...)

Note: Productivity hackers also do not use complete words. Such as "distro" in the above paragraph instead of "distribution". Think of it as "short cuts" for the english language.

I like #5, that SHE might be a sexy woman. Heck, then I wouldn't even mind the plaid belt. Ever see a female ninja with a plaid belt?

Zen Dad — Thu, 22 May 2008 09:30:09 -0000

The productivity ninja would also (of course) use a mac. *grin*

You forgot the productivity ninjas never visit facebook, not even to fight pirates.

Oh, I would looove a follow-up post on the gear of the Productivity Ninja. Not only Moleskines and Firefox but index cards, space pens, Post-It flags and so much more...

Down with the pocket protector, in with the iPhone case!!

@Stephen -
That Ninja Parade link is hilarious - I just had to share it.

I raise my hands up for not using IE 7! Except to roll out Diggs.

Ninja's aint explorers. They are sly, cunning, foxes that knows their way ard stuffs and uses shortcuts like shooting shurikens at blazing speed.
Or else they'd be hunting ard the web safari.

Great seeing Dave Navarro here too! Shoutouts to all. :D

>>Dave- "The Ninja Parade"?? Are you kidding? Hah, LOL.
I almost wet myself!

Well, I wanted to learn the ways of the productivity ninja ... but I failed to snatch the pebble from Melissa's hand.

Trey Meier — Wed, 21 May 2008 21:37:21 -0000

This post is amazing!

I don't think the Productivity Ninja is reading this post, or ever will. It has too much distracting goodness that could easily wrap someone up for a long time, following all the great links to learn the Ninja's ways...

Re: Investigative Report: Tracking Down the Productivity Ninja

Dave "hi-yaaaaaaaa!" Navarro — Wed, 21 May 2008 21:24:23 -0000

I don't want to say too much, as you've all but uncovered my secret identity.

Ah, hell, who am I kidding. Thanks to Naomi at Ittybiz I'll be carrying the "Mr. Productivity Pants" title to my grave.

In the meantime, I give you this insanely entertaining clip of my fellow ninjas:

>>Jonathan: I think you mean "Productivity Gangsta"!
LOL! Clay, this is the best post yet. I love it!

While you were searching high and low for the Productivity Ninja did you come across any sign of the Ultimate Moleskine Hacker?

And I would love to find out what you think about this: http://tinyurl.com/6753q9 I bet you can get hours of Productivity Goodness from perusing that bi-lingual site. Heh.

I'll just come out and say it, it's me.
