Seth’s Blog: The new standard for meetings and conferences
If you’re a knowledge worker, your boss shouldn’t make you come to the (expensive) office every day unless there’s something there that makes it worth your trip. She needs to provide you with resources or interactions or energy you can’t find at home or at Starbucks. And if she does invite you in, don’t bother showing up if you’re just going to sit quietly.
Read the whole thing. And think about this:
“Why should you have to go to the office when you can do your work from home?”
Do you have that kind of job? Do you want one? Discuss.

10:40 am - I am sitting in the waiting area for Gate 8 in the Manchester Airport, waiting for my flight. It is so hot in here I am about to pass out. There are a few other folks with their laptops open, some reading, and one crying baby. I pray that the baby isn’t going to DC with us!
The terminal is surprisingly quiet, though, not too many people traveling at this time of day. I need to remember that for the next time I take a trip. Getting through security was a breeze, only 4 people in line and the TSA staff were quite friendly.
I just received an e-mail from Orbitz telling me that my flight is on-time and all systems go. That is a cool feature.
30 minutes to my flight, so I am going to power down. I will update in DC if there is enough time between flights.
12:45 pm - Just arrived in DC, it’s raining here. I have to wait for a shuttle to go over to the United terminal.
2:30 pm - Arrived in Chicago safely. Now I am off to meet my parents for dinner at Pizzeria Due. My FAVORITE restaurant, for pizza.
7:00 pm - Just returned to the hotel, it’s much warmer here than in Maine. Duh.
Going to freshen up and head over to the Fuel My Blog meetup.

Entrepreneur.com has an article about online apps for your small business:
Work Smarter - Entrepreneur.com
There’s a web application out there with your company’s name written all over it. In fact, there are probably several. An entire suite of online software, even. A spreadsheet calls out for collaboration. E-mail beckons you to receive, manage and archive from anywhere in the world. Even the whole product development process is looking to take the online leap. As a nimble, growing business, you’re in a perfect position to take advantage of these maturing web applications to boost employee productivity, keep IT costs down and reach out to employees and clients around the globe.
Which of these are you already using?

From Ad Age Digital:
“Consumers deserve more choices and more competition than they have in the wireless world today. And at a time when so many Americans don’t have access to the internet, this auction provides an unprecedented opportunity to bring the riches of the net to more people.” [the Google blog, ed.]
Google has long been a proponent of network-neutrality legislation, which would require all web traffic to be treated equally. The legislation was proposed to address the worry that the companies owning the broadband pipes — cable and phone companies — could essentially create a fast and slow lane for web traffic, charging content and service companies for the higher-speed delivery. Google’s vying for a piece of the spectrum is also considered a hedge against that sort of scenario.
