I just saw Signal vs. Noise talking about using big sharpies when sketching up UI designs because they believe it helps to ignore details early on. Now, I personally hate paper because I hate erasing.

Compiling Source Code (Mac OS X for Unix Geeks)
This guest post was written by Dan Ackerman Greenberg , co-founder of viral video marketing company The Comotion Group and lead TA for the Stanford Facebook Class . Dan will graduate from the Stanford Management Science & Engineering Masters program in June. Have you ever watched a video with 100,000 views on YouTube and thought to yourself: “How the hell did that video get so many views?”

Featured Mac Download: Organize Your Mac with File Actions
Mac OS X only: Freeware utility File Actions monitors user-defined locations and automatically moves files around your Mac using a set of user-defined rules to keep your Mac organized. File Actions is reminiscent of previously mentioned Hazel , though it's lacking the impressively robust set of rules for when and how to move or trash files. The main difference, though, is that File Actions is free (as opposed to $22 for Hazel), so if you have a tough time keeping your desktop clean and your files organized, File Actions might be worth a try.
Although choice is generally seen as a positive thing, the New York Times examines how and why closing a few doors can help you take major steps toward moving forward with projects and getting things done. The article begins with a look at a third century B.C. Chinese general named Xiang Yu, who burned his troops' ships and destroyed much of their means of survival on arriving in enemy territory. He explained this was to focus them on moving forward — a motivational speech that was not appreciated by many of the soldiers watching their retreat option go up in flames. But General Xiang Yu would be vindicated, both on the battlefield and in the annals of social science research. According to researchers at MIT, "closing a door on an option is experienced as a loss, and people are willing to pay a price to avoid the emotion of loss"—even when that means keeping that door open is ultimately to your detriment.
Get Things Done by Closing a Few Doors [Productivity]
An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore. Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.

Insurers Scramble to Defuse Criticism of Cancellations (at The Wall Street Journal Online)
With insurers’ cancellation of policies of ill patients catching flak from prosecutors and the public, the industry is scrambling to come up with a less controversial alternative. The trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) is circulating a proposal for “individual states to use independent panels of health-care professionals and lawyers to review” consumers’ appeals of certain policy cancellations, the WSJ reports . In some cases, insurance companies have the right to retroactively cancel coverage if an insured individual misrepresented his or her health history on the application for coverage. Those cancellations are called “rescissions” in industry jargon. But some companies have been getting in trouble for pushing the limit.なんでこのようなものを読んでいたかというと、Tufte教授は著述業の他にも情報のビジュアル化に関する１日セミナーを毎年米国のあちことで行っており、私のところに１２月にパロアルトで行われるセミナーの案内が送られてきたのがきっかけである。このセミナーについては、以前 Wiredでも取り上げられている のだが、非常に評価が高く、私も以前から一度参加してみたいと思っていた。平日開催なので今年も参加は多分無理だろうな、と思いつつ案内状を眺めていたら、この小冊子の案内を見つけ、７ドルという価格もあって、つい好奇心に駆られてTufte氏のサイトで注文してしまった。（我ながら、こと趣味的な領域だとかなり衝動的な行動を取るものである） 内容としては、パワーポイントというメディアが、あまりにもプレゼンター本位であり、情報を的確に伝えるにはあまりにも貧弱なものである、という「百害あって一利なし」的な主張である。

Nuclear reset for .Mac syncing
How-To: Truly reset your .Mac sync data [Ars Technica] I never have trouble finding company when it comes to whining about the reliability of .Mac syncing. It's surely not fair to lay all of this at the feet of the .Mac developers -- sync is, we are often reminded, "hard." But if you want to rely on syncing your Calendars, Contacts, Preferences, snippets , Yojimbo , and what have you via .Mac in a battlefield environment, you're going to need a strong stomach, a lot of patience, and reliable backups. Plus, friends, you will regularly have to _reset frickin' everything _. Entirely overfamiliar with that particular reality, I was pleased to get pointed toward David Chartier's tutorial on saving your .Mac's village by burning it to the ground.Health Strategies Group is a good analyst group that focuses on healthcare. They produce good quality reports primarily for pharma. In 2004, they put out one about the PBM in 2010. While I am on my way to the PBMI conference, I thought I would revisit it to see some of the interesting points and what has come true.

You can turn any USB Flash drive or an iPod into a personal computer with all your software programs, application settings and data. It is more secure and private that using a public terminal because no traces are left once you pop out the pen drive. Laptop computers are shedding weight but they still weigh a few pounds and carrying them around on the shoulders is often very inconvenient.

The Simply Effective Guide To Reaching Anyone Online
Networking online is very similar to networking face to face. You’re ultimately trying to connect with people and forge relationships. The only real difference is that you’re using slightly different tools to communicate, and have to compete a bit harder to get their attention. It’s not always easy, but it’s never impossible, if you commit to being a certain type of person, and taking appropriate measures to reach your goal. I’m not recommending that you become a fake, used-cars-salesman type figure.I think this is an evolving role in healthcare. Mention CMO to most people and they will think you are talking about the Chief Medical Officer. In some industries this has spun into several roles whose titles might include Chief Innovation Officer, Chief Experience Officer or some other title. Apparently, this is one of the shortest tenured jobs with CMOs in the top-100 consumer branded companies staying in the role for 23 months (compared to 54 months for CEOs). This is according to SpencerStuart as talked about in a Fast Company article from June 2007.
