This article won’t be for everyone. Not all of us care to grow a large business or automate our income. Many of us are perfectly satisfied to earn dollars per hours and that’s great! However, I have a lot of freelancers ask me this question: How can I scale my business? I can only take on so many clients before I lose my sanity, free time, and desire to work! So for those who want ...

Open source software use by governments has a rocky history. Some governments have opted firmly for open source (and some of those have later reconsidered); others do everything that they can to avoid it. Now a group of free software advocates in Canada is challenging a lack of open source adoption by head-on attack: a lawsuit aimed at the procurement practices in Quebec. Specifically, FACIL has filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court. At issue ...

I’m a big fan of swearing. Not in the derogatory, directed-at-you kind of way (“hey, fuck you!”), but as verbal marker to underline key concepts, create emphasis, and express passion. It certainly doesn’t work in every environment nor should it, but there are plenty were it does. The first place where I’ve found it to be useful is between coworkers (“fuck, that’s awesome”). A team of British researchers found a while ago that profanity at ...

When Gemini Division premieres on Monday, the show won’t just be the debut series for NBC’s new digital studio; it will be a litmus test for whether old media can play successfully in web video. This web show has the weight of the traditional media world on its shoulders: In my opinion, the success or failure of Gemini Division will be critical for the web video economy in general and for traditional media in particular. ...

Apple just expanded the list of international iTunes stores on its website, adding countries such as Poland, Qatar and the Czech Republic. The problem? None of these countries can buy anything through the iTunes store. Rather, they're just setting up the infrastructure so the residents of those countries can have access to iPhone Apps. What a sad, lonely iTunes store that must be. No music, no videos, no podcasts. Just Super Monkeyball and a few ...

To help them, developers may use a number of JavaScript libraries that solve commonly faced problems, including cross-platform compatibility issues.

Before going out on their own, many freelancers struggle with the idea of how to position themselves in their market of expertise. Considering many freelancers have at one time worked in an agency setting, it’s tempting to have the agency mind-set when crafting your promotional materials. For example, the decision of whether to use ‘I’ or ‘We’ can dramatically affect the way you’re perceived by prospective clients; “We can deliver excellent results” sounds much larger ...
