The Project Approach to Life

Although a lot of people tend to get a nasty taste by hearing the words project management, it is one of the methods you can apply to anything in life. 

So lose the bad taste and learn how you can apply project management as an approach to something you would like to achieve.

For instance, I know a lot of people that enjoy working on their home or yard. They often don't see it as pm work, but look at it this way. Look at the desired end result. Now see the steps required to achieve the end result. Write them down in the correct order. Add a timeline and a budget, and you're a project manager.

See what I mean? Now think about that job you're trying to get. How do you get there? The end result is the job becoming yours. The steps towards it are probably one or more interviews that you prepare for, maybe you need to do some reading to be sure you know what you're talking about in the interview, and in some cases you'd take a course before you start applying to that dream job.

Put all the steps down in a document, add the timeline (budget only if applicable) and see your project planning.

In short, this can actually benefit you in many ways, as you have thought about and described the steps that will lead to your success. Use it to your advantage.

Microsoft: No cloud for you.

via techcrunch.com

MS doesn't really see the value of the cloud yet, I think. As often, pretty soon they suddenly will offer anything through the cloud. That comp just doesn't have the vision Google (and others) does.

Whitepaper Digital Nomads

Last year I participated in an effort to put together a whitepaper on the Digital Nomad.

Now you might wonder what a digital nomad actually is, but instead of telling you, I recommend you
to read this whitepaper.

My friends at Floor64 (the Insight Community) made this possible with sponsorship by Dell and Intel.
No need to say, I am pretty proud of the official publication of the whitepaper.

Buzz?

Google is roling out buzz to gmail users. I wonder, is wave now dead? I tried wave, but I was unable to use it for anything productive. Yet, I usually dive into almost anything google creates and use most of their services including 2 android phones.

Come on buzz, go in my apps account and show me a good time.
