I deferred posting the news of the iPhone launch, since, well… I’m not too excited about it. So forgive me for letting my personal feelings affect a supposedly objective takes on technology and lifestyles.

As a die-hard Google user, my Bookmarks Toolbar is filled with a lot of links to Google services. Why not, right? There’s nothing better than just clicking my way to them rather than typing the URL in my address bar (never mind if [...]

An interesting question asked by one of my students in class. “Is sucking up necessary to get a promotion or a raise?”

And Google continues to deliver. Google Docs and Spreadsheets just got a spiffy new look and I’m loving it.
The once lame documents list is now sporting an Explorer-type folders and documents allowing you to see how your documents are organized. Folders have replaced your tags. For some reason, it brings familiarity back to management. [...]

If you’re a hardcore Google services, you still might be wanting a few things tweaked here and there. But hey, we get to use them for free so there’s really no point in whining and complaining.

I was discussing personality type as a factor that can affect office behavior with my class the other day. I suggested that they take a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test to see how they’d fare.
