The Pros, Cons of Working, Playing in the Clouds
Don't you just love all the fun, the advantages, the freedom, the freakin mystery of the cloud? Look up -- they're light, they're fluffy, they're everywhere. Heck they're even green, ecofriendly...right? But ever so often something is dark on the horizon and the sucka comes roaring in and does some serious damage. Or it can sneak up quietly and SPLAT! slap you where it hurts...really hurts. Cloud computing is like the last wild frontier (sure we'll have more but cloud computing/storage is one biggie) where anything, anyone can go...and it does/they do. It isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't for the dumb ones but it sure attracts them like flies.

Inspiring Innovation & Creativity through Business Systems
Ok, I admit: "I am a big fan of systems, Its all about Systems". It could just be the Mechanical Engineer and Business Analyst coming out in me, but it goes much deeper than that. It is definitely grounded in my recent experiences with systems. We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.

PRODUCTIVITY, EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS, and FOCUS – Doing the Next Right Thing
There has been an exponential explosion of information available for increasing personal productivity, so much so that it’s become known as productivity porn (or, for those active on the Net and looking to avoid spam blockers, productivity pr0n). Productivity Pr0n consists of those techniques, tools, and all-out systems for getting more organized and maximizing personal productivity.
Getting Bigger and Better: Managing the TOP 10 Risk Factors for Growing Companies
The framework for addressing the 10 Risk Factors is the Organizational Backbone. The vertebrae of this backbone are a company’s Strategies, Systems and Skills: Strategies set the direction and provide context for the business and its employees. Systems reinforce strategies.

Network Marketing Is A Business Of Systems Not A Love Story
At the mere mention of a system, our eyes glaze over and we start to bang our heads against the wall screaming “I hate systems”. But without systems our lives would be in chaos.

Stop Reinventing the Wheel: Create Systems to Save Time and Money
Most of us run our lives on a handful of systems. Between our smart phones, calendars, and our e-mail inboxes, we have organized ourselves and our time. And if you ever doubt the importance of these systems, recall your panic the last time you couldn’t access your email or your hard drive crashed. Yet as important as these systems are, most of us don’t take advantage of what systems can do to improve our businesses and simplify our lives. Systems are simply ways of automating or structuring processes so that they can occur systematically without so much thought or attention-and by more than just one person, so that the business can continue to run if the owner takes a vacation.

How to Use Philosophy as a Personal Operating System: From Seneca to Musashi
The following interview is a slightly modified version of an interview that just appeared on BoingBoing. It explores philosophical systems as personal operating systems (for better decision-making), the value of college and MBAs, and the bridge between business and military strategy, among other things.
