A simple but quite informative graphic to help you decide how to take your coffee. I, of course, take the weak-sauce route with a mocha 99% of the time. Click to view the entire piece.

Forget the fact that NFL players report for training camp in two weeks, it’s time to get your TiVo’s set for the fourth season of Mad Men in just two weeks. It’s been by far the most addicting (and more than likely the least benefiting) show the wife and I have watched consistently in years.
They’re making it easy for you to get semi-caught up over the next few weeks if you’re behind with a Season 3 marathon as well as all 13 episodes from last season being on video on demand for the next month. Otherwise, Netflix or iTunes seasons 1 & 2 to catch the entire back-story.
The attire, the drama and the story lines are all top-notch.
Also, if you don’t follow along through RSS, you missed the season 4 cast photo I posted the other night. You should subscribe so it doesn’t happen again.
Of those who do watch, anybody care to share their favorites? Episode? Character?
Wow, Coudal might have just sucked me in. I’ve been meaning to swing by and pick up a new Moleskine, but goodness, these County Fair edition of Field Notes could be enough to sway me away from leather. I’d also take the map below as a print for my wall if they decided to produce it.
For a long time multi-tasking was a buzz word in the corporate setting and a desired trait in many job interviews. It’s too late for me to hunt down the research but I have come across a few different articles in the last year or two debunking the myths that we are actually good at multi-tasking or that we are more productive when we attempt to be. As much as I like having a variety of projects to work on, I do find that my productivity tends to suffers when I jump quickly from task-to-task during the day.
I just spent the last 5 minutes testing my personal theories on some simple NYTimes interactive tests. As I imagined, I scored quite well on the Focus portion and fell short of average on the Juggling Tasks (multi-tasking) test. Care to see how you perform?
My wife has started playing tennis a couple of times a week, looking forward to the day she can do things like this. Crazy.
