Circadian Shift

Uh, yeah. Been undergoing another blogging drought. Perhaps the receding daylight hours are getting to me. Or not. Anyway, here's a bunch of linkage.

• two recent goodies from How to Save the World: a write-up on a Fast Company article about competing with the big guys in the marketplace, and another post which outlines the qualities that make a great speech
• Blog from the Loft writes about using a Wiki at work
• MBA Jungle enumerates things that corporate strivers do in an attempt to impress, but instead just annoy the boss
• Darwin Magazine is running excerpts from a book titled Business Driven Information Technology: Answers to 100 Critical Questions for Every Manager
• the latest HBS Working Knowledge runs a piece that wonders if robots can take on some managerial functions
• also on HBSWK from last week is an article on using the power of persuasion when you lack authority at work (if I remember correctly, free registration is required to view articles that are more than two weeks old)
• paranoidfish pointed me to this handy Interaction Architect Job Title Generator
• also via paranoidfish is this link to yet another article on simple CSS tabs
• from the same site as the CSS tabs article comes this useful generic web style guide that you can adapt for documenting your own website's styles
• BusinessWeek provides a little chin-up spiel for the unemployed: Don't Let Downtime Get You Down (via Working Wounded)
• and I know everyone and their grandmother has already linked to this, but should you somehow have missed it, here's Jeffrey Veen's article on The Business Value of Web Standards

Hopefully that'll keep you busy for now. I'm also overdue with updates to Circadian Shift: The Outpost, so I'll have to tackle that later today.
