Cubicles – A Free Documentary

Posted by on Oct 27, 2009 in Business, Office Hacks, Organization, Podcast | 0 comments

Cubicles – The Documentary This is the first documentary I made back in film school. As you can see, my fascination with offices has been around for quiet a while. If you’ve been wondering where cubicles came from, how they affect the way we work, and where office design is going in the future (and I know you have), then look no further, all your answers lie above. You can check out...

Beware of Multitaskers Who Work on Rewards

Posted by on Aug 27, 2009 in Business, Technology | 3 comments

Great TED Talk by Dan Pink on how rewards do not make a great motivation tool. There’s tons of research from decades worth of studies that have proved this, yet the system still continues as normal. There’s a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. He also touches on Results Only Work Environments (ROWE), which I’m a big fan of and that idea was part of what...

Outsourcing Part 2

Posted by on Feb 12, 2009 in Business, Technology | 1 comment

A while back I had written about how I gave up on transcribing the documentary footage myself and turned to Elance to outsource the task. The terms were for $100 they would transcribe 15 hours of footage over 2 business days. Well let’s just say you get what you pay for. It ended up taking about a month for everything to be completed. Now normally that would be unacceptably long, but I was...

My TechCrunch Favs for the Day

Besides my previously mentioned MIXXT and Popego, here are my two other favs from my first day: Fitbit is actually a device that you wear to track your movement and fitness. It’s more than a pedometer, with an accelerometer and other gizmos inside to track a range of data, such as three dimensional movement and calorie burn and how much you slept. When you walk by the base station...

I’m Going to TechCrunch50!

Posted by on Aug 29, 2008 in Business, Experiences | 0 comments

To report on how the latest start-ups are going to make life easier to hack, I’m returning to San Francisco for TechCrunch50. Basically, 50 companies present to some of the most influential venture capitalists and press (me?) to launch their company and explain what it is. The only requirement is TechCrunch is when they launch, so no one knows what’s going to be presented. Last year...
