I’m a dabbler. Always dabbling. I have no qualms about handing over my username and password to any webapp that looks useful / worth 5 minutes of my time. As a result i have A LOT of member accounts all across the internet. Most of these new sites or services get tossed aside, [...]

And Jelly is a bottom-up approach to getting telecommuters, knowledge workers, and other shut-ins out into the world and sharing. From the website: Jelly is a casual working event. It’s taken place in over a hundred cities where people have [...]
…or rather, How to be Happy in Business. Same thing right? I really enjoy this Venn diagram representation of the balancing/juggling/dance that we do as we work our way through life.

As some of you may know, i recently quit my job to pursue possibilities. My livelihood will be earned along with so many others as a free-lance tech consultant and graphic designer. A ballsy move to be sure. But have faith. Once i had finished with the old gig i needed to do some serious refactoring if i had any hope to be productive and focused in my new career path. First order of business: I needed a new office. I decided to set up a workspace in my bedroom, and boy, is it worky! After the break you can see pix and deets on my new faboo work environment. I like this post on AisleOne a lot, i especially like the intro: I hate the word “tip.” It implies that there’s something that you don’t know. Some secret little gem that, when sprinkled on your work, your creative process, your diet, or your sex life will magically make it all better….Tips are easy. [...]
I spent about 5 minutes in photoshop stitching together these snaps i took from my phone during the Jan. CM meeting. The finished product made me giggle so i thought i’d share. The real one is BIG. You can see it on flickr. Here. Don’t forget to scroll to the [...]
As MOD sometimes i feel like sheriff of the co-op. “A badge would be smashing!” I thought. “No WAIT!” I proceeded. “A family crest. A source of pride for MODs everywhere.” This is the rough draft.
And thanks to the advances that People’s Co-op has made in the wide world of technology we now have at our disposal several tools to help us provide better customer service than ever before. Take, for example, our web-based POS backend. Your ingenious technology squad has made it possible for you to access all of the POS backend tools from any computer in the store! And this means easy access to all kinds of helpful info when you are offering service to our fine patrons. ex. RING RING RING “People’s Food Co-op…” “Hi, i’ve got these tubs full of mysterious white-ish powder in my kitchen, can you tell me what these PLUs are?” “Can you tell me how much bulk celtic sea salt costs?” “Do you sell vegan glucosamine-chondroitin for dogs?” In the old days, unless you were gifted with an encyclopedic brain, you’d have to run downstairs and check on the floor (cuz you don’t want to bother the busy floor staff, right?). Well now you can access all this information and more straight from your web browser. And i’m fixin’ to show y’all how! Continue reading What an age we live in! Look up products right from your desk. |

That’s community, collaborative, cooperative, uh…co-working.
I continue to find Mr. Mann’s talks on the business of doing creative things thought-provoking and (yes, at times) inspiring. He is of course talking to a contemporary generation of what he refers to as knowledge-workers, so the audience for this stuff is limited. But [...]
The irony of a 7-page article on our collective attention-span going down the tubes with our meds and artificial sweeteners is not lost on me. Nevertheless. I honestly and truly read this whole article, straight through, without ever checking twitter, FB, email, or randomly glancing [...]
