Check out this WaPo article about a Lockheed Martin engineer who blew the whistle on a Coast Guard project by making a video and uploading it to YouTube (here it is). That’s pretty creative, and it ought to send chills down the spines of would-be Enron’ers.
Whistleblowing is still hard work, but apparently YouTube just helped […]
Note: this is basically a repost, but it bears repeating as long as this software still works…
I don’t use Outlook anymore, but I work with plenty of people who do, and sometimes I gotta help them find stuff. When I was using Outlook, one major gripe I had was that the built in search tool […]
I like reading about how other people make decisions. A reader, Dustin Walper, recently sent me a link to a post he wrote called “Fast Leadership - Stop Thinking and Start Deciding.” He basicallly advocates a Gladwellesque “Blink” style of decision making, which I think has merit in the right time and place.
It’s a good […]
Lisa Haneberg interviewed me for a podcast that she’s got up on her site right now. We talked about all kinds of stuff, including managerial excellence, a little bit about MBA programs, etc.
This was the second version we did–the first one had some glitches and apparently, if it were to be used, Lisa would’ve […]
Well, I’m going to declare the first Free For All Friday on Slacker Manager a smashing success! We had eleven contributors and great posts across the board. All the contributed posts can be found at the FreeForAll category. Not all contributors identified themselves in their post, so I’ll probably go back and add credits where […]

I didn’t know it was a French guy who introduced the idea of Globish. In the New York Times article this month they describe a type of cut and paste way to constuct coherent English (Jean Paul Nerrière had a carrer at IBM which fleshes out the thought process of […]

At work, I exist in this weird role where I’m not quite one of the teachers, but I’m not quite part of the management. For the most part, it works. When I need to be a teacher, I’m a teacher. When I need to be more mangerial, I’m a manager.
One day, […]

Have you read the Forbes magazine article written by Michael Noers? The one entitled, “Don’t Marry A Career Woman?” I found it enlightening. Mr. Noers has created a firestorm of sensationalism, that is ripping thru the female blogging community. I have not witnessed such a fever pitch […]

I am a collector of quotes. I use them to re-focus me when I invariably fall away from my goals and what I should be focusing on, and they remind me to get back on track. Given the fact that Bren has so kindly opened up his Slacker Manager home […]

“What happened to this month? I’ve been busy but I don’t seem to have accomplished anything!”
Ever felt like that? It can be the same feeling about a year, a week, a day or even a morning. Sometimes when you look back at that period of time, does it feel like […]

I was promoted to a managerial position, and was very happy to be there. However one of my first assignments was to get rid of our 4 person IT department over the next 6 months, yet work pleasantly and productively with them until we were prepared to live without each […]

Most of you spend at least a part of your time writing all kinds of stuff. Depending on your profession, job description, or hobby, you could be writing anything from Annual Reports to the Great American Novel. So what’s the most important ingredient in really good writing? (Sound of crickets)

Thanks to Brendon for the chance to publish something today on Slacker Manager. My name is TDavid and you can find me posting regularly at Things That … Make You Go Hmm where the post below has been sitting in the draft bin patiently waiting for the right time and place to make an appearance.

I admit it; I’ve been on personal computers since 1979 (my first, a TRS-80, my latest a Mac Intel Mini), and on Palms since 1999 (my first a IIIxe, my latest a Treo 650). I live and breathe the internet, and would never think of doing something so crude like […]
