Roger sent me an invite today to Newsvine, which is pretty cool. It’s kind of a mashup between Rojo and Digg. I admit I haven’t played around with it a whole lot, so I may be missing the boat in that brief description.
The real reason for this post, though, was that from Newsvine’s business center, […]
When Slacker Manager was on Typepad, I had a bit of a spam problem. A fair bit of spam got through and that always bugged me because I couldn’t sleep at night if I just let it sit there. Had to go and delete it. The problem was off and on…sometimes there’d be nothing and […]
I just moved this blog from Typepad to Wordpress and figured that writing up my experience might help someone else. I won’t get into the merits of each system. If you’re thinking of switching, you can probably do that analysis for yourself. My switch was not without problems, so this is intended to be the […]
If you’re reading this, Slacker Manager has successfully transitioned from Typepad to Wordpress. There’s still a lot more to do, but this is a good start. Take a look around, but be aware that stuff will be changing pretty regularly. Speaking of which, if you find crazy stuff happening here, feel free to leave a […]
Apparently, 2005 is the year of the switch for me. From PC to Apple and from TypePad to Wordpress. Enough folks have asked, that I’m feeling compelled to write a brief explanation of why I’m switching from Typepad to Wordpress. But let’s get this straight: I’m still a fan of Six Apart. They make good […]
Disclaimer the first: I’m a web-idiot. I’m no designer. I’m no programer. Sometimes I see things I like and in the process of trying to build my own, I break other things. Caveat emptor, yo.
I’ve noticed a few folks doing pull quotes in their blog posts and I think it’s pretty cool. Feels kinda newspapery […]
If you’re out near Chicago and you blog, or have an interest in blogging, consider checking out Matt Homann’s latest blog conference, BlawgThink. Also, if you want to get a sense of the nature of the conference, check out their brainstorming site. The conference is aimed at legal bloggers, but Matt says there’ll be plenty […]
So the other day I was thinking about all the great stuff people are doing online. Rosa’s Ho’ohana Community; Scott’s pmclinic; Lisa’s Two Weeks To A Breakthrough; Rob’s The Business Experiment; Merlin’s 43Folders group (there are many more examples…these are just top-of-mind).
I thought it’d be really cool if there was something that helped people solve […]
Got me some new pals over at 9rules.com. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re pulling together some great blogs into a loosely linked network.
I heard about their endeavor a few months back and threw my hat in the ring for inclusion. I got an invite back then, but we couldn’t quite come to agreement […]
Just ran across a nice new blog today, via the referral log: Manager Tools: Tools for Manager and Leaders. Lots of good content and much of it is in podcast form.
Two text pieces that you probably don’t want to miss, though, are the template for one-on-one meetings with staff (very similar to Rosa’s Daily Five […]
Now’s probably a good time to mention that starting today, regular readers of Slacker Manager can get their fix in two places. The original version, right here. Or the new mirrored version over at the AllBusiness.com blog center.
With the exception of this post, the two blogs will be identical in content. The good folks over […]
Welcome to the May 30, 2005 volume of The Carnival of the Capitalists, Capitalism meets Satisficing and welcome to the Slacker Manager.
“Slackers are opportunists. They’re very good at seeking out and doing what they enjoy. Problem is, the current culture tends to view slackers as do-nothing layabouts. In truth, when you let a slacker do […]
Yeah, I know I said I wasn’t going to be posting for a while, but this evening I was killing time cruising through the feed reader and ran across a couple of posts worth pointing out.
First, over at Genuine Curiosity, Dwayne riffs on the last Apprentice episode where Trump apparently hassled the eventual winner about […]
I’ve run across a handful of folks who are currently enrolled in MBA programs and are blogging about their progress. I like reading those kinds of blogs because they remind me of my own time as an MBA student–both good and bad. I also like to see how other schools are approaching blogs…so far it […]
I’ve reviewed a few blogs in the past and I’d fully intended to review more, but just haven’t done it yet. So it was a happy coincidence when Rosa Say, of Talking Story, asked me to review a blog in her Ho‘ohana Online Community. Since I keep up with most of the blogs in the […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
