This morning I launched Bipolar Lives, a blog that discusses the broad issues and personal challenges of living with Bipolar Syndrome.
Readers of this blog will know that I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in 2006. It’s a condition I am very open about and that is a challenge (and an opportunity) that I live with. [...]

It seems that more than the usual immigration backlog reduction process has been at work in the USCIS. There are two likely scenarios that appear to be running around immigration circles these days, regarding the Green Card slot tease that has turned into such a furore.

MySpace

The client visit this week (and don’t expect too many details) was to MySpace. It is interesting to get an inside perspective on their performance challenges, as well as their beyond unique infrastructure.

I want to do more. See more clients. Solve more problems.
When I am bored, my productivity decreases exponentially. When I am challenged [...]

Technorati: blogpulse, intelliseek
IceRocket: blogpulse, intelliseek

Catch up – two major challenges – making OS X think on intel procs. Every release of OS has been compiled for intel x86 for the last 5 years – cross platform by design.
Wow. Wish I could have snuck out those binaries.

Are your employees amazing?
Does your company thrive on employees who think differently?
What was the last book your CEO read? What was the last book your VP of Marketing read?
Tell me about you and your company. Or if you are a recruiter, tell me why you [...]
