Survival Strategies for Techies. Making life and work better for Tech-geeks. Thursday, October 29, 2009. Epiphany - Appreciating Women. One of my defining characteristics over the years was shattered while attending the TechFlash Women in Tech. With men because we shared more interests and because of that, I tended to gravitate more towards them than towards women. Early on in my life, this became a defining characteristic of who I am as a person. To illustrate, my first comment that I made over the ...

Survival Strategies for Techies. Making life and work better for Tech-geeks. Thursday, January 07, 2010. My mother calls it the Black Hole of the Internet. Because I'm on the internet a lot as part of my work, it's not like I can avoid it altogether. And frankly, more of my trouble has to do with getting lost specifically in research or worse, in problem-solving. The only cure I know is to put a time limit on it. Go ahead and try it for a week or two and see if it doesn't help make you more productive al...

Survival Strategies for Techies. Making life and work better for Tech-geeks. Friday, October 30, 2009. Wednesday evening's TechFlash Women in Tech. Event didn't just shake up my sense of self. What emerged from that event was a picture that my rather passionate sense of the problems in gender inequality developed over the past 40 years is not wrong. There is indeed a system sub-optimization problem worth addressing. Some of the figures quoted that stood out to me:. Although women make up about half the g...

Survival Strategies for Techies. Making life and work better for Tech-geeks. Friday, July 10, 2009. United We Stand. Or Fall. It used to be that a company's worst PR nightmare was a parent dishing at a little league game or to be prominently featured on the 6 o'clock news in a negative light. Not anymore. Now a company's worst customer service nightmare is to reap what they sow in terms of suffering at the hands of someone who truly understands how to use social media to make a point. Lest anyone feel in...

Survival Strategies for Techies. Making life and work better for Tech-geeks. Wednesday, November 04, 2009. Career Management with LinkedIn. When I use the term career management, I use it in the sense of taking some control over your career instead of careering from job to job, allowing your job to control you. There will always be situations you can't control but your response to something like a layoff helps shape the kind of future that results. The best answer. Face it, there is always. I happen to t...
