I have been trying to fight through a block I have had regarding a strategic survey I am working on. I can’t plough through the wall, so I think I will take my notes home and try and brainstorm when I have some peace and solitude. Get up early, and spend some quiet time in the attic and watch the snow fall, and try and put myself in the customers shoes and understand the kind of questions they might…or might not…have.
How do other people with busy families and small children do this? How do they get the time to be creative and strategic, will not short-changing the other vital aspects of their lives?

If I had a cube (Note to self — never work for a company with an OPEN floor plan again), this would be the show I would watch.
My work area, no matter where it is, always has that post-apocalyptic je ne sais quoi to it…

Wil Wheaton. We all made fun of him when he was Wesley.
Now, he is an Adult. About my age (Ok, same age as my corporate VP younger brother). Same concerns, habits, pets, job interviews, hobbies and clubs we all have.
And he writes very well.

Hans Henrik raises an interesting question in his blog: Is google ranking the results from blogs differently than for static pages?
If they are, then this begs the question, when will we see a blog search tool from Google? You know they have to working on one. They would be silly not too, especially given the move by Ask Jeeves this week.
