Just to keep the creative juices flowing, I’m firing up another little web project. Nothing earth shaking, but I think it’ll be fun. It’s Yamhill.TV. This is an “internet TV channel” for Yamhill County, Oregon (where I live). I’ll interview interesting local people, check out some events in the area, etc. I just released the […]

Growing up, I was crazy about two things: sports and technology. So when I found a job posting to go work at ESPN.com, I stayed up for several weeks perfecting a website demonstrating why I was the perfect candidate for the job. Interviewing there was awesome–everybody […]
The importance of grammar in email correspondence with clients and potential clients.
I’m not much of a baseball fan, but this seems really weird to me. It’s an article explaining how a minor league team from the Chicago area is planning to allow fans to manage the team for the entire second half of their season. There are caveats, such as not allowing players to play positions […]
I’m not much of an entrepreneurial type…more of an intrapreneur, really. But every once in a while I get these weird ideas that won’t leave my head. I bug my wife and friends about them until I get over it. One of my favorites is a machine that will print photos with a border that […]
The other day, Jeffrey Phillips from Thinking Faster gave me a guided tour of OVOInnovation’s new web-based stuff for capturing ideas and moving them from concept to product. They actually call the process “Concept to Cash” and it’s pretty descriptive of what they’ve made. They’ve built this really cool system that allows companies to have […]
I totally neglected to point this out last week. Lisa’s ‘Best Management Ideas’ contest, for which I was a judge, ended and she’s posted the winning entries (actually, she posted all the entries, including the winners). Rob May scored the grand prize haul.
I’ll be honest, while the winners were all in my top ten, I […]
Just a reminder that midnight tonight is the deadline for Lisa’s ‘Best Management Ideas’ contest. She’s got some excellent prizes in store. Also, in addition to Skip, Dwayne and me, Jeffrey Phillips, of Thinking Faster, will be a judge. Entries should go to Lisa by midnight (PST, I assume) tonight. Send ‘em to lhaneberg AT […]
Lisa Haneberg has announced a really interesting idea. She’s calling for ‘Best Management Ideas’ and she’s soliciting entries that:
Share a new habit you have adopted that is making your work more productive or stress free.
Share techniques you use to reduce your daily stress while at work.
Tell us about a new gadget that is making your […]
UPDATE: FYI, in case it’s not clear from this post or previous ones, that I’m not the driving force behind The Business Experiment. Direct accolades to Rob May over at BusinessPundit–it’s his brainchild!
Just wanted to point out, once again, The Business Experiment. It’s an online, wide open experiment to see whether a business can be […]
Quick pointer to Rob’s post over on BusinessPundit. He’s floating the idea of a new business experiment—one where a business is conceived and run by 2,500 people, out in the open. The grand vision includes hiring employees, podcasting all meetings, etc. Pretty radical and pretty fun. (and, potentially, pretty nervewracking)
Ground zero is The Business Experiment website. The […]
I gotta say, I’m totally underwhelmed by this:
Most people get too much email, too many magazines, and unconscionably
long voice messages. We call this condition “information overload”. But
that term misses a key insight: there are actually gaps in the day when
people could absorb additional information. At Accenture Technology Labs
our researchers believe that these gaps represent important […]
Lisa, over at Management Craft, has this week’s Carnival of the Capitalists. This is a really thoughtful post–she’s grouped all the submissions around a central theme of how we use our brains and hearts as tools of progress and meaning. She’s defined five questions that make up the theme and she’s listed each submission according […]
Okay, I need help from the greater blogosphere. I’ve got an idea for a new non-profit organization, but I can’t do it by myself. I need other people, who aren’t interested in getting rich, to help share the burden of getting it off the ground and keeping it alive. The new non-profit will be named […]
New word: procrascipline. Until now, there are no Google results for procrascipline, so you know you saw it here first.
Just to help those Oxford folks out a bit… Procrascipline: (v) pro-crAS-sip-lyn, the discipline of procrastination. As in: "Boy, I really procrasciplined my way through that project!" Or, "Wow, what a talented procrascipliner you are! Will […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
