Rework from the Founders of 37 Signals
I recently read Rework By David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried. They are the geniuses behind the amazing 37 Signals line-up of productivity tools. I use Basecamp daily for not only organizing my work tasks, but also a number of personal items.
Rework is a great book to read if you want to get more out of your workday. Nothing in the book is revolutionary, but the ideas will get you get you back to basics or set you on the right path.
Lulu: iPad
I spent nearly 3 years in the self-publishing industry at Lulu.com as the Director of Online Marketing. During that time I not only managed all of the online marketing, which included all of the initiatives to increase organic traffic and paid search, but also was able to interact with a number of writers and help them understand the value of controlling their own content.
iPad: My Take as a Non-Owner
The iPad looks awesome. The device looks to be a much better eBook reader than the Kindle, Nook or Sony’s offering. I’ve messed around with those three devices and really hated the way the screen “flashed” when changing pages and displayed text. The iPad on the other hand displays just like a computer screen. My eyes are accustomed to reading on such a screen.
