Just a little something that popped into my head, today.

Your blog is a mirror in which others see themselves and into which they project their own problems. My Google Video of the Day blog receives a fair amount of traffic and also comments. That old saying about the things we don’t like in other people are the things we don’t like in our selves [...]

I really like Bloglines, but there’s one irritating hiccup that’s driving me nuts. If I check a post to save and read later, it counts as an unread post in the sidebar. If I wait too long, that post drops below the threshold of posts per feed displayed, and I can no longer get to [...]

Those who know me know I am a Tom Peters fan. From time to time, he conducts interviews with really outstanding people and posts them on his website. One of the newest interviews is with Eamonn Kelly, author of the book, Powerful Times. I came away from this interview deeply impressed by Eamonn’s astutely imagined [...]

Do you have a WordPress blog? If you want to really showcase who you are and have the essense of your brand (even individuals have a brand) clearly and viscerally communicated to all who visit your blog, consider a custom WordPress theme.

Earlier, in Part One, I wrote about belief, how it happens and how it’s expressed; and also about the existence of this man or men who has or have come to be known to us under the name Jesus Christ.
Belief is completely irrational and has more to do with conditioning and indoctrination than anything else, [...]

I’ve been dashboarded! My free WordPress themes Wheatgrass and Sapphire have been linked to by Weblog Tools Collection, so they’re showing up on everyone’s WordPress dashboards when they log in to their admin pages. This puts a smile on my face!

Found this here on project management. I teach general project management and have managed web projects over the years, and this is some of the most direct and best advice I’ve read—and it’s only one chapter from the book. The focus is clearly on IT-type projects, but it looks as though there’s good info here [...]

Yes, I am a Harry Potter nerd. I never go to movies unless it’s something deserving of the whole movie-going experience: Outrageous ticket prices, the excited press of the crowd, the smell of outrageously-priced popcorn, the thrill of midnight see-it-before-everyone-else-does movie premiers, ginormous screen, ear-splitting Dolby surround-sound, and stadium seating. And, [...]

The meetup today was fun. I will add yet more pics when they’re ready.

Some Guy We Trapped Into a Corner & The Vermizzle aka Caite Felt {The Vermizzle}
This guy doesn’t have a blog, he was just there. That’s the thing about the Langdon St. Cafe. People just come and go and gather around you, often [...]

I get MarketingSherpa’s email newsletter (a standing subscription I’ve had for a long time), and in this brave new world of blogs and the participatory culture, it’s obvious that the obvious isn’t so obvious to those who are educated, degreed, and entrenched in marketing. Anne writes about a band that releases over the internet home [...]

Say goodbye to menubars and crazy misbehavin’ toolbars. Office 12 has The Ribbon. One of the things they got totally right with it is how it scales to different monitor sizes/resolutions and different window sizes.
Microsoft Office 12 Blogs:
Jensen Harris: An Office User Interface Blog
InfoPath Team Blog
Microsoft Excel and Daily Dose of Excel
Chris Pratley’s OneNote Weblog
Dieter’s [...]

I originally wrote this as a comment on the First Thing Monday blog. I kinda took off with it and wrote a fairly lengthy comment. When I was previewing it, I thought it would make a decent stand-alone post, so I copied what I wrote, posted the comment, and then pasted the comment text here. [...]

In the nineties, venture capitalists and Wall Street displayed what has come to be termed “irrational exuberance.” How naive, everyone said after the internet bubble burst, that we thought the internet was going to change everything.
Well, guess what? It did change everything. It’s still changing everything. It’s doing it more slowly than we first thought [...]

GVOD is a side blog of mine. I’ve posted a couple links in this blog to random Google videos, but on the whole, they’re a little off the mark and don’t fit in well with the rest of this blog. Tell your friends and coworkers. Especially your coworkers. These videos are exactly the kind of [...]
