Five for Friday – March 27, 2020

I’m settling into being at home all day – my work hasn’t really changed, it’s just odd never going anywhere. Here’s some stuff for you to ponder over the weekend.

  • This week’s Covid-19 info isn’t as good as last week’s data-filled article, but it has some good info – which is a bit surprising given that it’s an AMA with healthcare givers on Reddit
  • I’ve been using Goodreads quite a bit more lately – including slowly adding more of my library to my shelves. Here’s a link to my stuff.
  • I’ve also spent a few hours at Board Game Arena – it works well at the free level, but it’s a helpful enough platform that it didn’t take me long to send them some money
  • I’ve bookmarked this article on prototypes, proof of concept and MVPs – it’s stuff I end up discussing way too often – now I can just point them here.
  • Finally, an interesting story about what happens when a popular node library loses its owner.

  • Leadership

    When I was 9 years old, I’d play pick up soccer at recess. A couple of kids – the “leaders” would pick teams, and then we’d play. Since we were kids, the leaders of the teams were sometimes the best players, but usually the loudest kids. Leadership was short-lived, but effective for the purpose. I…

  • Five for Friday – September 7, 2018

    Friday snuck up on me, but the interesting links and thoughts kept coming. I hope you find something of interest here. I’ve been re-reading (re-re-reading?) Radical Candor, and this line poked me enough to write down. If  you’re a people manager – or even if you just value relationships, it’s something to keep in mind.“Make…
