I’ve read a few reviews on the iPad and many of them say the iPad could replace the laptop for many folks. The rate at which technology increases in speed and computing power (i.e Moore’s Law) is astounding. But the rate at which new products are touted at the next must have item is equally [...]

I love this article from Reuters that points out that “control at work is good for health.” The findings were published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Control at work, to me , includes the option to telecommute, which may cut down on stress from commuting and can provide more time for family and exercise. [...]

A while ago I wrote about a nifty document scanning service called Pixily. The company has officially changed its name to Office Drop to better reflect the service. I still use Office Drop monthly and will continue to use them until the stacks of membership applications I’m housing disappear (Office Drop recycles all paper if you [...]

It’s been a busy few months working part-time for three societies and taking care of children, a husband and a home. How does everyone do it? I’m constantly amazed at the number of Facebook posts and Twitter updates folks make on a daily basis when I feel fortunate just to have reviewed my personal email. [...]

I came across this news blurb about a new form of telecommuting – telepresence. It is not likely to become mainstream anytime soon (I can only imagine the cost) but Willow Garage, a robot maker, keeps remote workers present by allowing a robot to glide around the office with the employee’s virtual face attached. I [...]

I decided that the only way to get back in shape was to just do it. Because I telecommute I work every precious minute that my children are at preschool; I rarely get up from my desk during those hours. But sitting at the desk was making me feel flabby and tired. Fitting in exercise [...]

Maybe. At least this article from Business Week says so. Using research from Pearn Kandola the article states that “employees who chase socialization thrive in the land of virtual work. The office gabbers. Those who are life of the break-room party. Left on their own, these types of workers are the ones who work closely [...]
