Yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m pschyed about the iPad. No, it isn’t perfect. Yep there are some obvious flaws (lack of USB port or SD card reader are big ones for me), but I’m excited about how this will change how we use computers. I remember I wasn’t too keen on the iPhone at first, but I knew from the moment I saw it that it changed how we would use and interact with smart phones from then on. Same with the iPad (I agree, the name is terrible, just [...]

Remember those days in high school when you were learning how to write term papers? My very well-meaning teachers tried to get us to use notecards and create outlines, anything to help us write better organized papers with the correct citation in the bibliography.
And I hated and chafed at every, single moment of it. While having notecards is actually a good organizational tool, my nascent writer’s brain couldn’t latch on to them as anything more than a royal pain. Even then, and probably more so than now, my chaotic, in-the-data-cloud [...]

About three years ago I decided to write a book. No, not that book, a book all about telecommunting. I had been working from home for over three years by that point (this February will make 10 years) and I thought I would write a book about it. Well three years on and no telecommuting book. I’m not sad about it. I still have all the chapters I already wrote and I will get back to it.
In the meantime, I’ve pulled all the old content into this blog. I’d love [...]

It’s been a long while since I’ve posted here, I think it’s time to get into the swing of things, eh?
As a recap…nothing really has changed. Well in terms of how I work. The who changes, the what is pretty much the same, and the how has been status quo for seven and a half years now.
Web Worker Daily, which should be a must-read for folks like us, had a little article on how to be a better web worker:

Hey! Anybody still out there? Yeah, it’s been a busy summer (and fall) and the book and this blog have been on a bit o’ hiatus. Fall is in the air, winter is coming, so let’s get revved back up here, eh?
Okay … to kick things back off here, LifeHacker points to John Dvorak PC Mag article about (the lack of) telework adoption in business. Yep, I totally agree, most businesses aren’t doing enough to embrace telework, but … there are some good reasons for this. Yeah teleworkers are more [...]

When night falls he roams the world looking for free WiFi, EVDO enabled cell zones, helping computer users in need and live blogging.? He is … Super Geek!
Always armed with an assortment of writing implements, a Blackberry, and handy multi-scale ruler.? Weakness: receiving only junk mail in the mail.? Can be distracted by a cool new download or putting an RSS Reader in front of him with unread feeds.
Enemies might be fooled by the casual attire and recent removal of facial hair, but beware he is out there and ready [...]

Via DownloadSquad (a great place to find cool new software and commentary, btw):
A new research study from IDC indicates that home offices of both types previously cited will sign up for VoIP service in the next year up to two or three times more than the average household. Of course, the primary reason for this is that those who do work from home are seeking cost savings on all levels, and if they can cut their regular phone bills in half, then VoIP has already developed a growing niche market.

I just finished this section. It’s part of the Technologies section and gets into the whole, “what should I buy a Mac or PC?”. As you will read I am suggesting a PC. Yes, I know the Intel-based Macs can run Windows and most major applications have Mac versions. So I’d like some feedback on this section. What do you think? Am I on the mark? Don’t be shy. Leave a comment, or three.
When you’re buying that computer the next thing you need to decide is whether to buy a [...]
