HR blog
This HR blog from the Boston Globe seems a bit odd, but Scoble points out the germane question: “are you freaked out about webloggers?”

Family nap
Too bad we all can’t sleep for 90 minutes every day after lunch. But we did today.

Extremes of parenting
Get home from work, play games with Ben, go for a walk with him to pick up dinner, he goes off to bed with a smile on his face. After eating my cheesesteak, I take Paton. 90 minutes later, she’s still crying. Argh.

Glow… going after the calendar…
Glow is an open-source GUI calendar effort. I can’t really tell without looking around more whether it’s going after the Exchange calendaring server stuff, but honestly, that’s the part of Outlook that I appreciate most: scheduling meetings.

When does it pay to…
Unlike Tim Bray, I’m not surprised that default placement in (some) news aggregators is for sale. I was amused to see that Adam Curry blew $10,000 about 18 months ago for default placement in Userland’s aggregators. It’s the land grab mentality, and it’s been around forever. In some businesses, it even works. I don’t believe…

Trading on the virtual market
Yes, I’m trying the BlogShares thing. No pain… and probably no gain (in audience/attention). Very smart viral marketing plan of theirs… strong incentive for the blog to include the graphic on its home page. Sure, I buried it like everyone else, but it’s there. Maybe this market will measure time as a currency, eventually. Right…
