The Container Store > Shop Boxes > Stockholm Project Case

Very nice boxes for organizing project materials. This is especially good when you want to archive items of different types and sizes.

Great post on packing super light for travel. The keys are lightweight, low space items that wash and dry easily, withthe additional goal of buying what else you need once there. Smart.

Very, very, cool. Clip of one of my all time favorite bands in a really great live performance. Cover of Ticket to ride was an especially welcome treat. (via Kung Fu Grippe)

Olbermann: Bush, Cheney should resign – Countdown with Keith Olbermann – MSNBC.com

If you do nothing else this Independence Day, read this or, better yet, watch the video. Remember those men who founded this Democratic Republic, remember why they did so, then ask yourself the question of if we find ourselves, as a nation, in the same situation today, 231 years later.

Mini-Review: The 4-Hour Workweek

Reading this book right now. So far it is full of insightful tips. Even if you choose not to implement everything in the book, there are several things that could save hours of wasteful time.

Here is a tip I already use to great effect. I only check work e-mail twice a day. Folks at work have come to know this. Therefore, they know that urgent matters should never be e-mailed. Non-urgent matters should, and response time expectations are set accordingly.

Now, I just need to let people know that I only check voicemail a couple of times a week. I figure, people will call back on truly urgent matters if they do not hear from me right away. Therefore, by the time I would be able to check it, it would be old news anyway.

That being said, this book is filled with little take away nuggets of wisdom just like those. Many of these I plan on implementing ASAP. I am really enjoying it.
