Merlin is one of those geek micro-celebrities, which means that most people won’t know who he is. Merlin is, amongst various things, the author of the 43 Folders blog on productivity ‘n stuff.

He has an excellent, if extremely infrequent, podcast and gives the impression of being an all around decent guy (how could I not like someone who mixes mac productivity tips with observations on the Buddhist concept mindfulness).

Anyway, Merlin’s going to be in Toronto next week and there’s an open invite for people to come hang out with Merlin and the Inside the Net crew. I’d love to, but I’ll be on a plane headed for Paris. Here’s the details, for any other Merlin fan boys or girls out there:

Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte’s Inside the Net podcast comes to Toronto’s “No Regrets� on Tuesday, October 3rd, and you’re invited.

For this month’s episode, Amber & Leo geek out with Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell from the popular GeekBrief.TV podcast on the PodShow Podcast Network, plus — in for the week from that country just south of Canada — Merlin Mann from 43 Folders.

Stop by No Regrets around 6:30 to watch the taping, then hang out to grab a beverage, and say “hi� to the hosts and their guests.

Admission is free (as in beer); drinks are on you.
