Starting the Day Productive
by
It’s no secret that to really be productive you need to start your day the right way. Tumblr founder David Karp will “try hard” not to check his email until 9:30 or 10 a.m., according to an Inc. profile of him. “Reading e-mails at home never feels good or productive,” Karp said. “If something urgently…
2 More Examples of Dad’s on the Outside
by
A few weekends back my wife was travelling and I was the only parent for 5 days. A few disappointing things happened/occurred to me. People said ‘How will Daddy Survive’ Possibly the most annoying thing I heard from others was the question “How are you going to survive without Mommy around to watch her.” My…
My Legs should be Charged with Murder
by
Well it seems my ongoing saga with wheel breakage continues. Wednesday August 22 2012 I managed to destroy a 3 month old Mavic Akaiim rear wheel accelerating off a stop sign turning a corner. To add to the mayhem, I was in my largest cassette cog and the wheel got so warped that after 2…
App.net is Only Viable in a post Twitter World
by
While writing about Twitter recently I was easily led in to wondering about the possible success of App.net. At one point there were Twitter clones all over the place. I was a member of the now defunct Blellow. I was even active enough that I got a free t-shirt out if it. All of the…
DHH: Speaking Again and Making Way to Many Assumptions
by
So DHH dropped another smug blog post on us, this time about business formality. Formality is like a virus that infects the productive tissue of an organization. The symptoms are stiffness, stuffiness, and inflexibility – its origin never with those who do but with those that don’t. DHH is making 2 mistaken assumptions and totally…
Cloaking Rudeness as Telling the Truth
by
Lately I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on Twitter, people are downright rude to each other. Now I know the internet is not the shining example of human decency, but I’ve been watching people pass off being rude as ‘just telling the truth’. As if some flippant statement about being a truth teller can absolve them…
Talking about Time Tracking
by
Ruby Freelancers had a great discussion on time tracking. As a freelance developer tracking and billing time is how you make money. If you don’t bill enough time you don’t pay bills. I’m always wondering if I could bill more time so hearing them talk about how much time they bill each week on average.…
Twitter: Turning Kings in to Serfs
by
Ben Brooks felt strongly enough about the changes to the Twitter API changes that he pushed this post past his recently implemented pay wall. When you are focused on just making money you not only end up screwing people over, but you end up gutting your service. Twitter is gutting the soul from itself and…
A Primer on Recovering as an Athlete
by
This year I’m way faster on the bike that I was last year. I’m not talking a few seconds, I’m talking minutes faster with lower effort on the same hills. Here’s the funnier part, I’m training with less focus this year than I was last year. I’m mainly just riding my bike for fun. I…
RadioShack Nissan Trek does have an Adult Athlete Employed
by
I’ve written more than once about the woes of RadioShack Nissan Trek. Ultimately it has seemed that there really aren’t any adults on the team. Adults do things like talk to those they have issues with, instead of running to the media to tell about their issues. Well it does seem like they have an…
