Shoot Me
Spent yesterday helping Jess wrangle a last-chance photo shoot at the [Morgan Libary](http://www.themorgan.org/home.asp), as [Dobbin](http://www.dobbinclothing.com) counts down to releasing their Spring ’13 line:
“EMPLOYEES of Neverware, a small tech start-up company in Manhattan, agree that CrossFit reinforces workplace cooperation. “When we were spotting each other on squats, we literally had each other’s backs,” said Daniel Ryan, 22, a software developer and Princeton student who was an intern at the company last year.
Until recently, the Neverware team worked out three times a week at CrossFit NYC. The workouts took place around 3 p.m. — the hour when employees had begun to nod off — and offered a much-needed interruption in 12- to 15-hour workdays. Jonathan Hefter, 27, the C.E.O., said he expected his staff members, then all men, to participate.”

Fixing Gmail
In the left sidebar of Gmail, click “create new label”:
Name the label “Robots”, or something similar:
Search for the word “unsubscribe”. Click the triangle at the right of the search box for search options, then click “Create filter with this search >>” at the bottom right of the pop-up:
Select “Skip the Inbox (Archive It)” and “Apply the label” and choose the Robots label. Click “Create filter”:
Voila.
Now, [Bacn](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacn) ends up in the Robots folder, rather than clogging up your inbox.
With the wheat separated from the chaff, you can respond to real, inbox email on the fly (I heartily recommend the new [Mailbox app](http://www.mailboxapp.com), which Dropbox just acquired) while skimming through the other crap only once or twice a day.
Do this now, and thank me later, once you realize how much this little change improves your digital life.
Stached
Recently, I was tapped as the celebrity trainer for an upcoming issue of Seventeen magazine.
As that’s already slightly creepy, I figured I might as well go full out. For the requisite headshot, I grew a child-molester mustache:
Great success!
“At some point, you have to turn your attention from the advice of commentators whose main credential is success in providing advice, and actually steep yourself in the nuance of how people make remarkable things happen in your field.”
