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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Just a quick pointer over to Kevin Kelly’s venerable Cool Tools page where the All-Ett wallet gets a favorable review. This isn’t the same wallet that I reviewed a while ago, but it’s made by the same folks. The one I (still) use is the smaller “junior” version. I still dig it and if it […]
I’m totally on the GTD prowl right now. I hath fully fallen from the vaunted GTD wagon in recent days and it is taking a toll on me. Unread emails: 146 from as far back as three weeks ago; an unknown number of dropped commitments given verbally; projects that have stalled or never started; a […]
Here’s just a total brain dump of various “do it easier/faster” tips that I’ve collected recently:
Check movie listings on Google by typing: movies: your-movie-name. If Google already knows where you are, the first clickable result will be all your local listings. If Google doesn’t know where you are, you’ll get a place to input your […]
Just heard William Ury, co-founder of Harvard’s Program on Negotiation, on NPR this morning. He was talking about quick tips for negotiation strategies (he wrote a couple of books: Getting to Yes and Getting Past No, neither of which I’ve read yet). He seemed to be pitching a new book or methodology about how to […]
Twitter is a deceptively simple utility. That said, Twitter isn’t for everyone. In fact it’s probably not even for half of everyone. But for those that have the patience to find their personal sweet spot, Twitter can be quite good indeed. If you’re not familar with Twitter, it’s pretty easy to describe. It’s instant messaging […]
My buddy Jason is unleashing his latest web creation upon the world: TechJive. It’s a little bit lifehacker-ish, but with a decidedly technological focus. Jason rocks Mac and PC, so he knows his shizz. The site is new and still growing content–definitely one to watch if you have a technical bent.

Well, these aren’t really tricks. Just a few things I learned recently that have to do with PayPal (I’m a fanboy).
First, iTunes has an option that lets you pay with PayPal. I know that’s probably not earthshaking news, but I’ve almost always got a few bucks in PayPal and it makes me feel better to […]
What follows is probably going to be controversial. And it will probably be taken out of context, or dismissed out-of-hand because of the name of this blog. But what I’m going to tell you is both subtle and powerful and must not be misused or abused, though I’m quite sure it will be and probably […]
Really great YouTube clip of Tony Buzan holding forth on the features and benefits of mindmapping. Fascinating stuff from the master himself….
Relatedly, for utter information overload, check out this list of mindmapping tools. Or, check out this relatively recent list of narrowed down options. That second list turned me onto Gliffy, which is best described […]
