I’ve been invited to try out oDesk, a job site that from first use looks pretty promising. Users can sign up as a buyer (employer), provider (contract worker), and affiliate company (oursourcer).
oDesk shows a lot of potential because it seems to make a genuine effort to match prospective employers with willing—and capable—employees. As a new […]
A few hours ago I enjoyed some coffee with Gang Badoy of RockEd Philippines (we were finalizing the plans for Shai Coggins’ blogger mixer). As she shared her experiences out on the field, helping prison inmates find their inner poet and figuring out ways to get books to remote communities, I wondered what made that […]
More users browse this site with Internet Explorer than Mozilla Firefox (42.2% and 18.8% respectively, according to my stats), but I really think more surfers should start using Firefox.

I finally bought a notebook to jot down ideas as they came to me. But that didn’t help when I had a flash of inspiration while driving home. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pull over and bring out my notebook because I was rushing.
The idea was the solution to a problem that took the entire afternoon to […]
Perhaps being disconnected has its benefits, as I feel that the lack of distraction has placed me in a writing flow. I’ve written three lengthy articles, both for business and pleasure. No matter the purpose, I’m being creative.
But the problem is that I should’ve slept an hour ago. I’ve got a pretty long day later […]
No matter how advanced or powerful they make online applications, web-based software will always be dependent on connectivity. Without any Internet, no work can get done. I’m learning the hard way of not keeping a certain project’s assets on my computer.
