Loose tooth #2 status: GONE So, the first tooth coming out was such a suprise to Sydney, and she was so excited about finally being in the “in” crowd of toothless children, that she didn’t even flinch. She just giggled and looked a little shocked. Tooth number two was a little bit different. A little exciting, a little tramatizing, and that tooth had a little more grip in the gums. On top of all of ...

It's a particularly busy week for me: on top of a few looming deadlines, I'll be at Business of Software 2008 in Boston. So, I figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to revisit some classics. The Complicator's Gloves was originally published on January 16th, 2007. Another fun, tangentially related article is The Complicator's Bicycle. Good software is constantly under attack on several fronts. First, there are The Amateurs who somehow manage to land that hefty ...

within the span of 10 days I have had to digest a massive pile of painful conversations. more than any other time in my life. realities from every realm of life. and while the grief grinds my soul raw, it strangely gives me the sensation of being alive. in a twisted and indecipherable way, the circumstances trotting through my daily life cause me to wince. and grin. somehow, experiencing heartache makes me feel more human ...

Before my webinar last week, I was chatting with the organizer, and experienced project manager. He said that when he interviewed a project manager, and hear words such as “I control projects” that’s a red flag for him. No, he’s not an agile project manager–he’s a smart and effective project manager who realize that people control their own tasks. But he got me thinking about other red flag words. When I hear testers say, “I ...

I think I brushed my teeth about 8 times when I was a teenager. I don’t know why I made such a fatal dental decision. I had braces and headgear and retainers at the time. And not those cool invisible ones, I’m talking about the thick metal braces that reduced your number of friends by about 32% when you were in the seventh grade.I had every incentive to brush. My orthodontist and dentist and dental ...

Way back in the introductory chapter, I defined marketing as the act of motivating someone to take action. Marketing means getting people to want to buy, whereas selling is a manipulative process to close the deal quickly so you can move on to the next prospect. Selling focuses on the transaction, whereas marketing focuses on building relationships that will result in a long-term series of transactions. Rainmakers do not sell. Never. They create an environment ...

Here's a great idea. What if your new rock group appeals to fans of the B52s? Or if your new book is just perfect for people who like Brad Meltzer? If you have a CD or a book or an idea that will appeal to a certain psychographic, it might not be so easy to reach just those people. Dave came up with a super idea: go buy a bunch of B52s CDs. Then list ...

I ran across a list on my phone of funny little things that Sydney has said that I didn’t want to forget. October, 2007 “You know, there’s never too little of a time to give a hug.” (said while we were in a HUGE hurry and I was totally rushing her into the car and into her carseat and griping for her to get buckled…and all she wanted was a hug.

When someone asks, "What do you do?" how do you respond? If you're like most people, you respond with your title. "Well, I'm the owner of XYZ company." Or, "I'm the Executive Director of ABC." Or, "I'm a lawyer." Etc. At that point, what happens? Exactly. Nothing. Right? It's almost as if the moment we say our title, the other person's brain shuts down, breathes a sigh of relief, and then kicks back into gear ...

Google Calendar is a great, if not the best available tool to share calendars. However, it’s tedious to edit and keep track of it via the web interface. In saving time, integration is your best friend. Naturally, there is a vast amount of addons and tools to sync, integrate and simply work more efficiently with Google Calendar. For example you can sync it with mobile devices like the Blackberry or iPhone using GoogleSync. Then you ...

I'm gonna share some ideas from Ron Sylvia's book, Starting New Churches On Purpose, and process them out loud and see what you think. Here's one:One of my favorite things in this book is the idea of "accepting everyone who walks through the doors" and "creating an atmosphere of acceptance." Ron writes:Remember, just because you accept them, it does not mean you have to approve oftheir lifestyle. And, just because they are different, it does ...

Many of us prefer to dual boot our systems. It could be that we don’t want to completely move to Vista or it could be that we are trying out Linux along with Windows. Let’s face it, no matter which operating system you are using, you got to surf the web. It seems like a good idea if your browser automatically knew what you had bookmarked on the other operating system and you don’t have ...
