What a pedantic article. The effectiveness of to do lists, or any other work management tool, is extremely sensitive to both the nature of the work and the nature of the person. Some people can be effective thinking about 3 things all day?

It's all about characters. If they're able to create an audience connection with characters, the show will be long lasting. Entourage (this show's closest comparison) had some pretty stupid episodes (the last season in partic

I'd say you can skip college if you are really specific about something that doesn't require a degree, or you are extremely good at forging your own path (starting a company, freelance work, or if you are really well networked). O

My work has a relatively unique (I think) set up that in my opinion pulls the best of both worlds. Basically, it's a big semi circle of 6-8 half cubes around the manager. So if you are looking straight forward at your computer, there a

As someone who's left the beginner stages recently, I found OOP stuff to be mostly intuitive and easily to relate to real world examples. Steve Job's explanation at the below link galvanized it. The only difficult part was some of

It's a fine line though, because in any organization leadership is critical, and good leadership is not the result of a job title. A good leader fosters that collaboration, and points it in the right direction to meet some sort of larg

I'll avoid the legality of the suit, but I think the smiley face is being spun a bit by the article. Jobs wasn't sending the smiley face as some sort of grave dancing gesture, he was sending it as a "here, I took care of this

"The NBA is not run well" There are certain things they could do better (the cap, age requirement, too many teams) but I think this is a stretch. The Association does the best job of any American sports league with globalization,

This guy has to learn how to sell himself a little better. "Old Coder" and "70s" should not be the first two things on a resume.

Really can't wait for "all the things" to stop being used as an acceptable replacement for "everything."

Calories in v calories out is absolute in terms of weight loss/gain, but that's just a quantitative measure, not a qualitative one. For instance, the famed "Twinkies at a Caloric Deficit" diet will cause you to lose weig

The portion of the status quo most related to spying is "Safe and Peaceful", so not sure I blame him.

This reminds me of an old talk radio adage: don't mistake callers for listeners. The people who call into a radio show represent a fraction of the audience, and are often the most extreme, polemic, loose hinged segment of that audience
