Aside from the questionable practice of hooking into another product’s name to promote your own business, TwitterLit (and here) is one of the coolest Twitter uses I’ve seen. Twice a day, this person posts the first line of a book to Twitter, with an affiliate link to the book on Amazon. The site describes it […]
Via 2million I ran into this campaign for a 5 day weekend. Two good days of work and five days off. I think this is a cause I can believe in!
Looks like most of their rallies (The Work Less Express) are taking place on the east coast because the movement started in Asheville, NC. I’ve […]

I was messing around with LinkedIn the other day and ran into a utility they provide for examining your webmail addressbook for other LinkedIn members that you might not have connected with. I pointed the tool at my gmail account and found a bunch of people in my adddressbook that were LinkedIn members […]
I’ve been using Jott.com for a little while now, and it’s become indispensable to me. I don’t take advantage of everything they offer, I just use it for one thing, and it works really well.
My Powerbook is the only computer I use for work. It’s usually with me, but sometimes it’s just not convenient to […]
Gleaned from my personal experience as a boss, here’s one way to approach this:
When the boss is out of the office on Friday, call them up and appeal to their sense of safety. Tell them that one of their employees needs a new desk in order to prevent injury. The boss’s desk is the […]
Jason recently posted about a killer add on for Firefox that’ll allow you to capture really long web pages as PNG or JPG. This is an awesome tool! I’ve used Paparazzi in the past for this task, but get frustrated when I can’t capture a page that’s behind a paywall or other authentication system. Sure […]
Laurence Haughton, author of one of my favorite books, “It’s Not What You Say…It’s What You Do” and also the bestseller “It’s Not the Big That Eat the Small…It’s the Fast That Eat the Slow“, has an new (free) web seminar coming up over at Microsoft Office Live.
The seminar is on May 29th, from 9am […]
There’s this thing about reading your favorite columnists: when they write books you can be pretty confident that you’re gonna enjoy the read. This has been true for me with Thomas Friedman, Malcolm Gladwell and now with Penelope Trunk.
Penelope is a columnist with the Boston Globe (read her column here and her blog here) and […]
Hey, social events in Portland are heating up these days, but if you’re still looking for something interesting, Lisa Haneberg is coming to town on Sunday, May 20. We’ll be having dinner at Gustav’s near Washington Square. Meet at 6pm, done whenever we’re done. Dwayne was gonna come too, but he’s gotta go to Prague. […]
Just a quick pointer as a follow up to the previous post about Kiss Theory Goodbye: SmartLemming has a great interview with Bob Prosen over here. If I didn’t already convince you to pick up this book, this interview will probably close the deal. Be sure to check out all the excellent extra resources at […]
Wow. This is a really good book. This is a book that I got from the publisher–I get offered books on a regular basis and I turn down about as many as I accept. I was a little skeptical and almost didn’t accept this one. The marketing materials pitched the book as the logical successor […]
Just airing a personal peeve here. Many people use the word “obvious” too liberally. If it really is obvious, then there’s no need to point that out (obviously). If it isn’t obvious, then saying that it is will likely not have the effect of making you look smart, but rather have the effect of irking […]
Over at new b5 blog, LinkedIntelligence, Scott Allen is hosting a group blogging project about LinkedIn. The idea is that bloggers write posts about cool, interesting and productive ways in which they’re using LinkedIn. Scott’s got some nice prizes lined up as well. (note: Scott is co-author of an excellent book about online networking which […]
Just learned that MindMeister (web-based mindmapping app) is out of beta testing and ready for everyone!
Aside from the original analog method of mindmapping (paper and pencil), this is probably the best way to ease into a good understanding of the power of mindmaps. For those of us who are a little more experienced with mindmapping, […]
