How many IT people do you see holding court at parties? How many of us hope to be seated next to a technical architect on our next flight?
Introduce yourself as an IT person at a party (I know, I’ve done this) and they all start telling stories […]
How do you search? Most of us use Google yet how many of us will advance our search with one extra click to get the results we are really looking for.
Perhaps you are looking only for PowerPoint presentations or you want to find some free music that you can use without any restraints on copyright […]
My laptop was running slow (as usual) and I was cursing Microsoft - usual too :) .
I tried various tweaks including turning off fancy graphics and deleting temporary files.
Final step - defragment the disk.
This is where i met my nemesis - it took 4 hrs and 26 minutes to defragment a 40GB disk - […]
Like the post title says, I’ve sold Slacker Manager and the blog needs a new author. Which story do you want to hear first, the one about selling the blog, or the one about the search for a new author? Let’s start at the beginning…
It’s been a good few years and Slacker Manager has served […]
I’ve got 5 invites to Skitch for the first five commenters. Skitch is a Mac-only image tool that rocks pretty hard. It’ll do quick screenshots, framegrabs, etc. It also hooks into iPhoto nicely and has all the basic image editing tools you probably need. And it’s pretty.
Leave a comment if you’d like to check it […]
The iPhone launched yesterday and, predictably, it’s already hitting the secondary market. It’s hilarious to scroll through eBay and read some of the listings for iPhones. As I’m writing this, the prices range from $20,999,999.00
downward. Some of the auctions are pure satire, others are pure greed (Buy It Now price of $5,000? Gimme a break.), […]
This is a question for any fountain pen aficionados out there: how do you jumpstart your ink flow after letting your pen rest overnight (or a couple of days)?
This has always bothered me, and I’ve tried a variety of solutions. The “lick it” trick (over and over until the ink flows freely); the dip in […]
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 […]

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, […]
I’m not much of an IM guy, but lately I’ve been kinda digging it. Twitter has helped, but I’ve been finding IM to be really handy for quick check-ins and questions that aren’t too bothersome. Also, I will admit that it can turn into a bit of a timesink if you let it.
I learned a […]
I will freely admit to you right here, right now, that I’ve been very relaxed…inconsistent, even…about reading my pile of RSS feeds. I think I have too many of them and I get frightened when I fire up Google Reader and see “100+” next to every category folder. Ugh. So the result is that I […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
