Resume or productivity footprint?
In: Lifestyle| Marketing| Productivity| Technology
10 Jul 2010What is the standard procedure when applying for a job? You inquire about openings and the first thing you are told is “send us your resume”, right? Is this relevant anymore?
I would argue that resumes are antiquated, lifeless leftovers from a time before rich online communications. A resume is just a simple document outlining where [...]
Smart, simple solutions
In: Design| Lifestyle| Marketing| Productivity| Technology
30 May 2010There is an abundance of complexity in the world. It occurs pretty much everywhere. Companies create products with way more features than we need, bosses over-complicate policies and procedures, and our government passes ridiculously complex legislation that no one even has time to read.
We do it to ourselves, too. We think we need big, complicated [...]
So you think you’re in a ROWE?
In: Lifestyle| Productivity
14 Mar 2010SpinWeb became a ROWE a few years ago. Since then, we have enjoyed a happier workplace, more balanced lives, and improved productivity. From my perspective, ROWE is to the traditional workplace as the Renaissance is to the Dark Ages. I look back on our pre-ROWE work environment and I actually feel embarrassment at how we [...]

Don’t use consumer email for business
In: Marketing| Technology
19 Feb 2010I frequently attend networking events during which I meet a variety of business owners. Often we exchange business cards and I continue to notice a trend which disturbs me: the use of consumer email as a business email address.
I often see email addresses using the domain “sbcglobal.net”, “yahoo.com”, or (shudder) “aol.com” listed on a business [...]

How does building websites change the world?
In: Design| Lifestyle| Marketing| Productivity| Technology
14 Feb 2010At SpinWeb, we create professional websites and online marketing initiatives. We’ve been doing it since 1996 and have gotten very good at it. We’ve gotten so good at it that it amazes me how fast and how well we deploy new websites on time, on budget, and with amazing design quality.
Sometimes, however, I think we [...]

In a ROWE, every day is a snow day
In: Lifestyle| Productivity| Technology
7 Jan 2010Remember snow days? As a kid, the first big snow of the season was an eagerly-anticipated gift because it could mean that school was canceled, which would be followed by sleeping in, sledding, and other recreational hi-jinks. As we got older, snow days started to affect us in different ways. As employees, snow days could [...]

Bad website design is expensive
In: Design| Marketing| Technology
22 Dec 2009Some people think great website design work is expensive. On the surface, this is true since you generally get what you pay for. However, how often do we stop to think about how expensive bad design can be?
Bad design leads to frustrated website visitors who cannot find what they want. If you are a government [...]

5 emerging marketing tools you need to start paying attention to
In: Marketing| Technology
18 Dec 2009As 2009 wraps up and we look toward the new year, it’s nice to re-evaluate plans for the upcoming year and use the holiday downtime to focus on some initiatives for 2010. I know that the holidays are a great time for vacations but it can also be a great time to work on high-level [...]
Thanksgiving Reflections
In: Lifestyle
24 Nov 2009This Thanksgiving, I’d like to share a few thing that I am thankful for, both in business and personal life.
1. My faith. Out of respect for others and their beliefs, this is not something that I bring up too often without invitation. However, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude for [...]
