A couple weeks ago, Rikker sent me a link to a DownloadSquad article on inbox management. Now, for the past [insert long period of time], I've had between 50 and 120 e-mails in my inbox at a time. I'd let the mountain build up until it ...
The other day I got to peek inside my soul and see why I rank some days good and others not. I'd thought it would be dependent on how good that day's events were, but that's only part of it. Turns out that the prime factor is, instead, ...
For my other internship (the one I didn't blog about yesterday), I'm putting together some training material on various new technologies. There's a lot of cool stuff here, so I figured I'd make a really brief list of some of them for your exploration and enjoyment. Some of ...

Here at work we have a digital punch system for clocking in and out (as well as a card slider outside the lab, but I never use that). The problem is, I always forget one or the other. It's a pain. A while ago I came up ...
We're in the middle of a revolution. You may have noticed it going on, but do you realize how important it is? I'm talking about the democratization of the media.
