Calling all Tweeple, and, check the side-bar

This post is a combined de-lurking post and a boost-up-my-Twitter-friends post.

FIRST
So, if you Twitter, let me know how to
follow you in the comments. (or, click follow-me on my blog homepage).

If you don't Twitter, but know what Twitter is, tell me what you think about it.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about - leave me a note and I'll send you some info.

SECOND
If you blog, and you don't see your blog listed on my blogroll on the right side (or would like to change how yours is listed), let me know and I'll make sure to include you (or edit).

Cheers!

Want to Succeed? Schedule a meeting with ...

Yourself.

 

As we continue venturing into uncharted economic waters, how can you keep your job on track and continue delivering your best? Schedule a weekly meeting with yourself. That's right: no matter how busy you are, this is not a luxury. It's essential.

 

Every week, take a quiet hour to reflect on recent critical events -- conflicts, failures, opportunities you exploited, observations of others' behavior, feedback from others. Consider how you responded, what went well, what didn't, and what might be more effective in the future.

 

Never cancel this meeting -- it's crucial.

Awesome.

18 minutes of toe-tapping, hand-clapping, clean fun and music.

Info: Street View stuff

Google's Street View came up in a conversation with some co-workers today. Apparently, there's still a few people out there who didn't know that you can view (an ever-increasing selection of) addresses at the "street level" - and "walk" the guy (I can't remember his name) around the neighborhood. Fun stuff. You can even incorporate the street views into your driving (or new walking) directions, and literally see the way -- drive the route virtually, if you will.

Anyway, we decided to go a quick Google search (of course) to find out about street view, and -- since I was talking to some of our science and tech guys -- decided to learn about the camera and the process. Here's a few links to get you started.
