I’ve barely scratched the surface about the advantages of working at home. And even if they’re pretty obvious (to me at least) they deserve expounding:
Time Saver. For office workers, the daily commute is a necessary evil. To make a living, they have to spend some time to do so. Some of them take two hours—or […]
I don’t know a contract worker who doesn’t use a computer, so this gem on Digg will prove useful. Van Mardian spent $33.42 for a pegboard, some hasps, screws, wooden dowels, styrofoam, and some wire. He used them to move those messy wires, peripherals, and external drives underneath his desk:
It’s probably a lazy Sunday as […]
Yes, the best things in life are quite free simple. Like Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule of presenting:

A free online presentation on Apple’s website shows why a Mac can help […]
Wherever your reading this, know that it’s Saturday over here. I’ve scheduled this post to appear automatically publish, because right now I’m probably riding on a hot air balloon. Along with some friends, I’m enjoying the 11th Philippine International Hot Air Ballon Fiesta. I really made time for this event, making sure everything I needed […]
You can always count on the fairer sex to think about the details, and getting things done. While a guy like me procrastinates.
I’ve yet to finish my Avoiding the Temptations of Home series, where I’ve talked about working in a great home office and it how it isn’t necessarily expensive. Looks like Erin Loechner(?) agrees […]

Writing Practice. Practice makes perfect, and publishing blog posts on a regular basis will do the same for your writing.
Easy Communication. Provide a way for people to easily contact you without opening your […]
There are lots of free fonts out there that are useful to freelance designers, which is why Vitaly Friedman’s post is very helpful. He’s maintaining a list of the 25 Best Free Quality Fonts, meant “to be used for official, serious presentations.”
