BALLE day three
In: Collaboration| Green| Leadership
24 May 2009In order to feel successful at being sustainable it is vital to recognize it as a developmental pathway. And that the journey down the path is best supported by a network of relationships in alignment with your goals. There I just saved you two hours of sitting in a conference breakout session. Seems like good [...]
BALLE day two

In: Collaboration| Good Stuff
28 Jan 2008Google Calendar has become my calendar app of choice. Because it is web-based, there is no client, or OS dependencies. It does a fantastic job of sharing and displaying multiple calendars. It also worked very well for me on the iPhone until, well, Macworld. It turns out the Google mobile crew updated [...]
Gathering Like Minds
In: Collaboration
15 Jun 2007I’ve had an idea in my personal vision for about 6 months now of creating some means for like-minded geeks to connect and collaborate casually across the niche industry that Zing IT is in.
