I’ve preached the virtues of Basecamp here in the past, and I still dig it for my own lightweight project management needs. Earlier this month, like everyone else, I noted the release of activeCollab and made a mental note to try it out. I kept remembering to try it out, but never quite got around […]
I’ve been noodling around with the idea of a Free For All Friday on Slacker Manager, just to see what would show up. I was gonna do it tomorrow, but then I noticed that maybe it’s not such a good idea. Guess we’ll stay on lockdown around here for now. You can still comment, though. […]
I had a simple bit of php/css coding that needed doing on the blog. Usually I just try to stumble through that stuff on my own, but I just didn’t have the time or inclination on this one. Plus, I’d been curious about using sites like Rentacoder, so this seemed like a good excuse. I […]
If you visit the actual Slacker Manager blog (as opposed to reading RSS), you’ll know that there are a few ads on the sidebar. Google Adsense ads have been there for a while, and I occassionally put up the Basecamp banner when I’m feeling lotsa love for it. The RSS feed has an occasional ad […]
I mentioned a while back that I was reading this book and expected to review it soon. Well life intervened and it got lost in a pile until this past weekend. I’ve gotten back to the book and finally finished it off.
What an interesting book! First, you’ve got to know that I’m not a […]
I just got turned onto Zaadz.com, which is a social networking site. Zaadz is kinda the MySpace for thinkers interested in changing the world. It attracts a fair chunk of the treehugger contingent (I say that with love for my treehugging brothers and sisters), but there are also a lot of straight up businesspeople interested […]
I’ve got way too many blogs in the old feedreader. I went through the other day and kinda cleaned house (thank you NetNewsWire for the “dinosaurs” feature that makes this tedious task simple and fast) and while I was at it, I was reminded once again of a few content producers (note that I’m not […]
I mentioned a while back that I was really liking Basecamp. I still am. In that previous review I mentioned using it to collaborate cross-country on a presentation. Well, we kept on collaborating and finished the presentation which was pretty well received. I can’t say that it wouldn’t have happened without Basecamp, but it sure […]
I’m not much of a back pocket wallet guy. Used to be, but then I got a Levenger money clip wallet thing a few years ago and fully made the switch to any-pocket-but-the-back-pocket wallet carrying. The Levenger money clip didn’t last nearly long enough, and then they quit selling it. I bounced around a few […]
If you ever have to learn about an online market, there’s a fast and easy way to do it that doesn’t require fancy market research firms or lots of money. Usually the old saying goes: “Fast, easy, cheap: Pick two.” In this case however, you can can have your cake and eat it too. There’s […]
Just a quick note that InBubbleWrap is giving away Lisa Haneberg’s latest book, Focus Like a Laser Beam. Go there and get yours! They’re giving away 20 books and it looks like one lucky winner will also get a laser pointer. As a model for focus, I assume. :-)

I recently finished reading this book by Rajesh Setty (blog), who is a longtime entrepreneur and writer. Beyond Code is a rather unique book, in my view, because it’s a fascinating mix of solid business and career advice interspersed with insight into Setty’s background and childhood. I came away feeling like I had a good […]
ChangeThis.com has just relased their latest round of essays, and there are some good ones in there! David Maister writes about fighting strategic flab, Pip Coburn writes about the adoption (or not) of technology, and that crazy Clotaire Rapaille writes about cracking the human codes. There are others, whose names I didn’t recognize, and I’m […]
