I’ve been a fan of Tumblr for a while. I’ve had my own tumblr account to mess around with, and it’s been a nice halfway point between twitter which keeps you under 140 characters and a full blog which lets you post tons and tons of content. Just something great for shorter posts, pictures, quotes, etc. (more…)

Without further ado let us proudly introduce PMProPlus, a project management and time tracking web application, straight from the Paper Canopy factory. (more…)
Most of my work entails taking flat Photoshop files and turning them into functioning interactive web sites. One of the bigger issues is I usually don’t know what the page is supposed to actually do.

They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can’t write or program well in units of an hour. That’s barely enough time to get started.
It’s a good read, and I found a lot of good points especially from the maker’s side of things.
Mostly he talks from the angle of meetings, but for me this goes for any type of interruption. Conference calls, emails, IMs, tweets, text messages, letter, anything.
Anyway, it’s a good reference, especially if you’ve called me and I’ve seemed a bit distracted on the phone ;)
