  • Breaking the bad multi tasking habit

    I once considered myself a consumate multi tasker. I could talk on the phone, have 3 chat windows going, be working on a presentation and filing an expense report all at the same time. I thought that multi tasking made me more productive. Over the past few years I’ve had the nagging feeling that I…

  • Keezer build 0.5 alpha

    The 1950s era fridge I had been using as my beer chiller in the garage finally bit the big one (to be fair, it might have had something to do with the hole I put in the coils when I was trying to chisel off some ice…) so I decided to go ahead and pull…

  • The fastest way to turn money into noise

    I’ve been stuck on this review for a while, but we are leaving tomorrow for a mini vacation to New Hampshire, so I decided to just get down what’s in my head and check it off the list.  It’s not going to get any better with time – at least for now.  One the plus…

  • Small project

    This should keep me busy the next few weekends.

  • The Geek of Zen: Personal productivity system update

    One of my unofficial new year’s resolutions (all of them have been unofficial for the last few years…makes it more of a surprise – even to me – when they happen) was to be more intentional about how I spend my time. Perhaps its a bit of “a pirate looks at forty” (a few years…

  • My new home office setup

    Standing desk, nice mic and headphones for conference calls, dual screens and a mechanical keyboard.
