KT's Blog : Smart processing of the Inbox is great, but what about responsible email sending?

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:55:46 +0000

a good article on Life Hacker about this: http://lifehacker.com/5810910/use-email-to-teach-... "He says that message has no value, and could have easily been avoided if the sender asked all recipients to reply directly to them with concerns, or ended the message with "no need to respond, I just wanted you all to be aware of this." Even better, you can foot your messages with "if you have any questions, give me a call" and avoid the inbox altogether".

Feld Thoughts : Deeply Held Beliefs

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:17:24 +0000

"we don’t have principals, associates, or analysts." Do you find this simplifies things and enables you to focus easier on the highest priority stuff or are you bogged down by busy work, logistics and other things an Associate may help you with? I have found in Product Development, adding more people usually introduces more non-core, not-important activity into the effort.

Curious about your Skype setup, have you done anything special to optimize? I use Skype all day now for conf calls and video chats and am always looking for ways to improve. Thanks!

Feld Thoughts : New Life Experience - The MRI

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:20:37 +0000

My back pain struggle that began after a run at the Glue Conference this year was due to overly tight leg muscles from a lack of stretching and skipping yoga classes. My doc recommended constant stretching which I do throughout the day now and things have gotten better over time. Good Luck man, I know it sucks.

Feld Thoughts : What Do You Hate The Most About Your Mac?

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:10:38 +0000

As a mostly Product Manager/Owner and sometimes Developer, I've found there are often exceptions in installing Ruby on Rails related things on OSX. In the Enterprise, the Mac has sometime conflicts with other systems, usually calendaring/email attachment related. I've found this is typically the other system failing to support common standards the mac adheres to (such as .ics).

What a great idea Mark. I just showed this to my wife as something to add to the Life List. If you make it to Tanzania, specifically Moshi or Arusha, lookup my old friend and Kili Guide Wilfred Cyril Moshi: http://www.facebook.com/wcmoshi?ref=ts

Brent, I agree....but lucky us, our wives rip it up! Choosing your crew wisely is another post by itself. Whether in the backcountry, inbounds on a pow day or traveling somewhere to ski, the people with you make all the difference.

Feld Thoughts : What I Read On My Q409 Vacation

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:18:01 +0000

My team is using Rails for a few projects but I'm not proficient (PHP guy). To keep up, I occasionally watch screencasts from http://railscasts.com and have found that to be a fun/easy way to absorb some of the syntax.

Feld Thoughts : How I Use The Gist Dashboard View

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:15:37 +0000

Thanks for answering my tweet Brad! http://twitter.com/ktinboulder/status/5661578795 I had "Last 7 days" + "Tweets" on and had trouble getting a handle on things. Following your suggestions gives me a manageable list of information to gobble up. I began using Gist during the Glue Conference this past summer and am digging it. Keep up the good work guys.

As a Colorado resident, every year, every dollar you contribute can be deducted from your Colorado State taxable income. You can’t get that from any other plan. source: CollegeInvest

Feld Thoughts : Taking A Month Off From Air Travel

Mon, 3 Aug 2009 20:42:35 +0000

I heard a rumor that spending time in Keystone resting, running and staring at the peaks is a good way to forget about air travel for a while. Feel better.

Feld Thoughts : Deep Calm

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:00:38 +0000

Great post Brad. I would be interested in a related post from you someday like "How to avoid drinking at company retreats so you can feel sharp and get up early to work hard." Every work thing I've ever been too always ends with too much pressure to drink at the end of the day. Maybe I'm just a wimp!

Gear Layaway : Will Gear Layaway work?

Tue, 26 May 2009 13:53:31 +0000

Again, thanks for posting your comments. A few questions I am interested in: 1. Have your Customers ever asked about Layaway as a purchasing option? 2. Do you think Customers would be interested in Layaway? 3. If you were to purchase Gear Layaway for your Shop, what is a fair way for us to charge you for the service? 1) % of Customer order 2) Flat monthly rate 3) Free And finally, I view this idea as a great way to promote purchases in the off season. Buy your bike in October using Gear Layaway, pay for 6 months, then pickup your bike and ride away debt-free just in time for Mountain Biking season. 4) Do you think this would be a good promotional idea you could advertise?
