Okay, so this is about a book I have been recommended to read by Karen Swim. No, I have not read it, yet. But I will. The only reason I recommend it to you is because so far every book Karen recommended was a win. Not in the sense that I took everything in the [...]

Some ground rules for books on Project Management
After reading a few books on project management, and before I start reading the new one, Herding Chickens, I decided to lay down some ground rules for them. These will be some basic assumption to keep in mind while I read the practical and real life project management advices. You can’t select your team. You [...]

I liked the book, the story was good, and well, it is sort of crazy when someone puts in 30 pages of randomly generated numbers in a book – that sort of explains the thickness of the novel. The only thing I did [...]

You just know it when the first “101″ and “become a ….. in 24 hours” style books start to pop up. I just bought this pretty book from Margaret Mason, and read it in one sit – ok, one lay, I could not sleep and had to read something. I bought [...]

Christmass coming
Christmass is around the door, and yes, as usual I got my presents for myself – well, sounds selfish, but you have to treat yourself from time to time, no? New books arrived yesterday and now I am just looking at them, trying to pick the first one to read. Contestants: Witness in Our Time: [...]
Naked conversations
I just started to read Naked Conversations after finishing the Cluetrain Manifesto – on which I will write a bit later -, and just gathering all the links together in a stash, because I sure want to check them out. Looking for a daily plus of 6 hours.

The book explains several blogengines (Movable Type, ExpressionEngine, WordPress and Textpattern) and in that area it is [...]
