Sustainable Work/Life balance

In November, I had the opportunity to attend MindCamp 5.0 in Seattle. It was the first “Un-conference” I have ever been to.  My interest in the event was peaked when the great Bryan Zug started a Twitter conversation.  This was not any old conversation, but one regarding a passion of mine–establishing a sustainable balance of [...]

Do Your Timesheets!!!

Why is it that in every work environment that I’ve ever worked, the accounting/project teams are constantly in battle with the creative/tech teams to get their timesheets done. Why is it so difficult to record the time you’ve spent on a given project on a given day. Now as I manage my business, I can [...]

Checking Twitter more than email and IM

It keeps happening to me, I am getting more and more immersed in Twitter. I’m really liking the conversational style that Twitter can have. Now that the technology has been solidified and Twitter is reliable, the service can really grow. I also think that the ubiquity of iPhones and Twitter iPhone applications (my favorite is [...]

President Barack Obama

I can’t even believe it. I feel like this day has been coming, and also has been so far off. I remember when, my sister, Gina first mentioned working with Barack in the Illinois legislature and how she held him in such high regard. Then as he took the Senate seat in Illinois, gave his [...]

Alex King’s Twitter Tools plugin

I am now using Alex King’s Twitter Tools plugin. I’ll be using this to send my blog posts to my Twitter feed. There seem to be great back and forth integration with this plugin, but I think for now I’ll just be using it to send blog posts to Twitter and not Tweets to the [...]

Twitter errors abound today

*** UPDATE *** I think there is someone out to get me at Twitter. All is well again in the Twitter-verse. Phew. I was starting to sweat it. I wasn’t able to know what my peeps were up to at this exact moment. Now that my day is back on track… I should get back [...]

Twitter keeps drawing me in

At first I was a skeptic, then I was an investigator and now I feel like I’m on the verge of being a Twitter freak. There is the strange and all too uncommon phenomenon of it getting better the more I use it. Usually I get bored, or something more interesting comes along. If I [...]

Vigilanteweb moves to the 4 Day Work Week

After much thought and consideration, starting in September 2008, Vigilanteweb will be instituting the 4 Day Work Week. Many people have asked questions like, “How will get all your work done?” or “What are you going to do on Friday?” And those are valid questions. Like  the folks at 37signals, our goal is not to [...]
