September Reading
by
This September was a lot of fiction and a bit of self-improvement/interesting f reading. As always, jump to the bottoms for links to my other monthly reading posts.

This is the worst thing that could happen
by
What’s the worst thing that could realistically happen if no more clients wanted to talk to you? Note above I said realistically so we’re already throwing out all the invented scenarios around becoming destitute and living in a cardboard box for the rest of your life. The worst thing that could happen if no more…
August Reading
by
It’s time for the recap of my reading in August. I’ve been really into fiction lately so there are 3 Omnibus books and only 2 business books (yeah that’s still like 10 books total in August). If you want to see some of the other installments in my monthly reading scroll to the end of…
Yes you can dishwash a keyboard, here’s how
by
Today we’re going to deviate a bit from the regular business topics and talk about cleaning your keyboard.

Keyboards are filthy. We eat over them and use them…

What about good WordPress podcasts
by
A while ago I wrote about the podcasts I think you must listen to. Out of that came a question: What about WordPress podcasts? Yes, I do listen to WordPress podcasts, just not very many of them. I actually subscribe to every consistent one out there. They simply are rarely worth the time spent listening.…
What on Earth is BeachPress good for?
by
I’m sitting here, on the third morning of BeachPress, with someone making breakfast for the group. Not much talking is going on as some code, some read, and some just drink enough coffee so they can feel sane. Looking at the group right now, one may wonder what the value of BeachPress is? I mean…
The Podcasts I Think You MUST Listen To

For a while now, I’ve been finding that the highest value content I consume most weeks is from podcasts or whichever book I’m currently reading. After mentioning that a few times in Hipchat and on Twitter my friend Jared asked me what my favorite podcasts were. Sure, blogs can be great (heck I write one)…
