Fate v. Divine Intervention: Signal vs. Noise
And the more I really think about it, the more I absolutely believe that we control our own destiny. However, I also feel that there are certain laws of success and the Universe that will aid us.

Communicate about telecommuting
Are you currently involved in any sort of telecommuting work scenario? If so, would you mind sharing how it works for you (or doesn’t work)?
Some interesting points that you could help me with:
- Just curious how do you tend to collaborate with your “co-workers”?
- What tools are you using when working with others?
- How do you communicate? IM, email, skype, phone, smoke signal, something else?
- Do you miss the physical proximity?
- How well do your collaborators work with you? Do they return IM messages, or answer all the questions you ask in an email?
- Any interesting stories about telecommuting that we can share with or friends?
You may ask why I care about this? I’ve recently started some more serious online collaboration and am curious if some of my experiences are shared, or if I’m just an island floating adrift. Like many of my friends, I’ve worked remotely on gigs and had to communicate from time to time, but now I’m having to do it much more often.
Looking forward to hearing from you and about your experiences outside of the cubicle!
Testing Disqus Commenting with Plaxo
Thought it might be interesting to see just how the Disqus.com commenting system would work with my blog’s comments as well as interfacing with the Plaxo Pulse stream. If all works well, you should see the Disqus commenting system in place here, and when you go to Plaxo, you “should” be able to comment there and have that comment automatically appear back here so all comments become a part of the same thread. We’ll see!
What will the next 5 comments be like?
Have you ever just tried to think about what the comments your posts were going to get? I try not to write with that in mind, and at the same time, I do think about creating posts that not only elicit responses, but certain types of response.
Not sure what sort of responses, if any this conversation might get, but let’s see!
Is a technology ubiquitous when it drops below $10.00?
Just got this offer (amongst others) from TigerDirect.com. Does anyone else remember when DVD players were over $1000? Geesh!
How to improve boldlygoing.com’s theme
Over the past several months, the theme I am using here at BoldlyGoing.com has undergone a couple of major overhauls, and many, many minor ones. Working now to fine tune things. I really like the overall “feel” I have when at the site, however, I know there is ALWAYS more that can be done. What would you suggest I work on next to make the site just a byte better? Thanks for your input.
How do you come back from a blog layoff?
What does it take to get you back into the flow of posting again? For me, I really have to be focused, and just do it. I’ve tried to have a grand plan, but rarely does that work. How do you come back from not posting for a long period of time?

Please be careful, very careful if you are using openID on other sites that you visit, especially ones that display cute pictures of little kittens. Thanks James

If you have had a negative experience with the use of your openID and logging into producer sites, can you tell us about it? Looking forward to hearing about it.
