Started a new job this week where my biggest challenge is trying to consolidate and simplify a lot of messages. Taken individually, the messages are great but they need a narrative to tie them all together. That’s what I’m trying to do with this weekly roundup of posts — help you figure out how to …

I’ve been busy this past weekend getting ready to start a new job tomorrow. Part of that has “required” me to get rid of a lot of piles, organize stuff I haven’t gotten to, and play Inbox Zero (deleted nearly 2 GB of things I was sure I’d get to). All this “organization” has reinforced …

A lot of good blog posts this week. For the most part, I’m going to assume that readers who come to this post from a Tweet will pick up the serious technology-oriented posts and articles from their own Twitter streams or other similarly themed posts. So I’m going to focus primarily on recent posts and articles that provide …

You’re busy and may not have had time to keep pace with some of the best posts from the past week. Here’s a set of links to articles that should keep you current. This is a great opportunity to acquaint yourself with these writers and perhaps subscribe to their blogs or bookmark their sites. As always, …

The weather report is calling for rain tomorrow and I’m planning to catch up on some reading. It seemed to be the perfect time to launch a new feature on Bulldog Simplicity AND Consultant Launch Pad (yes, I’m publishing the same content on both blogs because my readerships are different) and offer up a few links to …
