I see this number of new productivity tools as simply a reaction to the fact that lots of people need help being more productive. Put another way, it's a new...

I am intrigued by what I've seen of Microsoft Viva. At least, as far as I understand it. I seriously doubt we'll adopt it where I work, simply because we...

Good article, Steve. I especially like that last line, "It's not my world; it's not your world. It's our world". I think people have lost sight of that, at least...

We also watch Miracle on 34th Street, with Natalie Wood, Maureen O'Hara, John Payne and Edmund Gwenn, in black and white (the best way to watch it). Note: Edmund Gwenn...

These mostly seem obvious, but I'll bite.

1. Pizza
2. Networking
3. Learning what new technologies I should consider
4. Hearing justifications for why my management should (or shouldn't) consider a technology
