The Thought Leader Interview: Erik Brynjolfsson

"By mid-2009, we already knew that the growth of GDP would be positive, or at least flat. But employment continued to fall. So by just doing the arithmetic, dividing output by employment, we knew in advance that there would be a big productivity number. This was triggered by the recession, but it was not a sudden reversal. It was part of a longer pattern we’ve seen with the recent wave of so-called jobless recoveries. Companies have discovered that they can produce a lot of output without needing as many people."

When and How to Micromanage

"Yes, maybe. But here's my new theory: At the top of every company, there's at least one person who really cares and really wants the product and the customer experience to be great. That's you, and me, and Ryan. Below that person, there are layers of people, many of whom are equally dedicated and equally talented.

Early Risers Crash Faster Than People Who Stay Up Late: Scientific American

"An hour and a half after waking, early birds and night owls were equally alert and showed no difference in attention-related brain activity. But after being awake for 10 and a half hours, night owls had grown more alert, performing better on a reaction-time task requiring sustained attention and showing increased activity in brain areas linked to attention. More important, these regions included the suprachiasmatic area, which is home to the body’s circadian clock. This area sends signals to boost alertness as the pressure to sleep mounts. Unlike night owls, early risers didn’t get this late-day lift."

"Zerstreutheit" and the Attention Management Cure | 43 Folders

"It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction, and Zerstreutheit in German."

i'd buy one. i could adapt to the silly one mouse button thing, probably, but not the touchpad. unless Linux is a lot better with touchpads than i think it is.

Harmonization by augmenting ODF with OOXML elements - O'Reilly XML Blog

couple of people have sent this along, and it's a very interesting idea; be interesting to see how the namespace embedding affected performance. wondering too if this isn't the approach some of the plugin providers have taken.

Zoho vs Google Docs

interesting comparison of Zoho's apps vs Google's. the net? Zoho's has more, and their apps are more richly functional, while Google's are more stable and performant.

Web Host Industry Review | theWHIR Blogs : Zoho Doubles Customer Count in 5 Months, Racing Google Apps to 1 Million User Mark

i'm a bit skeptical of Zoho's ability to threaten Google here simply because i'd rather have a vendor focus heavily on 2 or 3 apps i use most, but no question that Zoho's innovating: Notebook is terrific
