This post has been formulating in my head for a while now, as I thought how much I loved 7 Habits and The 4-Hour Work Week (Amazon) and all the other great stuff I'm reading. However there's one question they don't seem to answer - what if you have to work with someone who sucks? I ...
I'm going to start this by saying that if you're thinking about using Twitter to communicate with your friends, that's a job that can be done fine by Facebook. Especially if you have a smart phone. Of course your friends who are using Twitter are probably using it differently from Facebook (danah boyd has some commentary ...
I think it went well. It was scary, but once I started talking it was OK. Couple of things I found: I easily remembered what slide was about what, but I didn't always remember how I wanted to formulate what I was saying. The slides weren't balanced - some of them were up for longer than others. Mostly ...
I've created my slides for my presentation (abstract) following a Presentation Zen (Amazon) approach. So there are basically no words on any of my slides. I'm going to lay them out one by one, with narration. Let me know what you think! I've gone for a blank template. I wonder if this is too plain and ...
Since I started using Remember the Milk my task list is now separate from my email - so email that I mark as "ToDo" items don't show up in it unless I put them there. I've opted not to, and instead made a recurring task every other day to "clear email". As a result of this, ...

The thing about focusing on effectiveness, is that everything that I put on "the List" is something I think is important. And then if I get a little behind I end up in a situation where my todo list for today has a time estimate of over 11 hours. And then I panic. Today I managed ...
This one is interesting - the network is fairly connected, if it wasn't for the big ball of purple in the middle (@NonaCobbzea) it would look pretty normal. She's sending unwanted @ messages with the same link in each one to a weird "blog" that's a overly descriptive of certain aspects of her life I'd ...
I have a problem - I now have 4 computers. Yes, I realize this is a problem that many people wish they had, but still. I have: MacBook Air - carry about at university and use out and about, use for notes, reading stuff, and small amounts of development and document editing. 15" MacBook Pro - use ...
Sometimes when I wake up, I walk into the bathroom and see myself in the mirror, and I'm taken aback by my resemblance to my grandmother, who died when I was 15. The dark circles under my eyes highlight that I have the same bone structure as she did. I look less like my (great) ...
