How to have a more productive commute

Over at Property Crossroads, Dan Rafter made an interesting post about how more people want access to public transportation.

How to go through RSS feeds quickly (and not let it eat your day)

Want your question answered? Ask it last.

My friend Ben Yoskovitz laments a common problem we all have faced dealing with folks via e-mail…not getting a critical question answered:

Doodle your way to a meeting time

No I don’t mean drawing goofy things on a piece of paper. I mean using the site/service Doodle to help you plan a meeting:

What is it with me and Vista or How I learned how to do a nearly painless clean install

Part of the revamp of my home office was the APC laptop stand. This spiffy device also sports a nice 4 port USB 2.0 hub in the back. Great. Awesome, keep the cable clutter under control. Yeah, well not so much.

Scrapblog: a cool new tool that inspires something more

 My friend Shel Israel pinged me and a bunch of other bloggers about his client Scrapblog and how they were ready to take the wraps off their creation.

Medical Technology - For the Patient

These last few months, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in medical facilities, mostly working preventive things (nothing scary here; not to worry). There’s been a big change in practice where I go and see my doctor: a whole lot of technology has been added to the workplace.
