The Road to Boosting Your Work Capacity

Hrm…

This article makes sense in theory, but I have two questions/prodding thoughts:

• Are you telling me I actually need to lift weights to get good at working at a desk?
• The day off thing is hard to achieve.  As a contractor and business owner it is very difficult to find time to take a break.  I think most business people would agree.  That day of rest thing doesn’t exist in our society or culture.  In fact I just read an article from Harvard Business talking about how “practice days” were non-existent for entrepreneurs.

So is it hustle hustle, or lift and relax?

“P&G invests heavily in innovation, outspends the competition in R&D, and targets emerging markets with growth potential. But to execute, P&G is redoubling emphasis on its culture and values.”

It's official! 802.11n standard finalized after a mere seven years

I don’t really care that 802.11n is standardized. I find two things odd though.

• How long it took to standardize something that seems to be relatively important. I mean wireless internet isn’t that important, but in terms of technology it seems like a fairly important thing to have standardized.

• How many devices already have Draft N. We’ve reached the point where standardization and the processes it takes to get things done officially are too slow for the speed that technology is evolving and people are demanding new things.
