It won't be the next Harry Potter, but a quirkly little technology booklet has been selling briskly at the University of Washington Book Store and a nearby coffee shop frequented by UW tech staff.

Only insiders may recognize that it's a humorous commentary...

I saw this article in the Arizona Republic Monday about how the insurance companies are able to save money by gathering health care records electronically, make more accurate analyses of patients (also saving money) and be able to adjust premiums (i.e., make more money) based upon your poor health or various other things. You know, [...]

We sometimes get a call from a frantic prospect who says something like “I absolutely have to rank Number 1 on ‘convertible frammis’ by Monday.” Never mind that it’s Thursday afternoon, and that he means through organic search only …no PPC allowed. We can only speculate as to what motivates a normally sane marketer to take [...]

From the Dilbert blog: They then said that I could not fill it out - my manager had to. I told them that my manager doesn't work in the building, nor does anyone in my management chain. This posed a problem for the crack security team. At last, they formulated a brilliant solution to the problem. They told me that...

What do you think of when you think BIC? Ballpoint pens? Single-use razors? Well, if BIC’s leadership has anything to say about it, that is soon going to change. Recently, BIC launched a mobile phone in France, seeking to extend their convenience-based brand into the telecom market. The phone, which shares the colour-scheme and appearance of [...]

Stop. Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage. Sit back and let’s chat for a little bit. If you’re like me (you didn’t ask, but I’m an ISTJ in the Meyers Briggs land), you’re pretty driven. Then, it’s a full day of...

I've been rereading "The Dilbert Future" this morning, revisiting one of the most interesting chapters in the book. Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has enjoyed some phenomenal success as a cartoonist. One of the secrets to his success, as he explains in "The Dilbert Future" is the technique of affirmations. Using the technique, he was able to make a killing in the stock market, pass...

You already knew that Excel can do straight date math, but it can also take into account holidays to find the number of working days between two dates.

As I noted a little while back, the majority of my Dilbert mash ups are now being posted on a different site - you can check them all out here.
