Productivity501 #

Most of the blogs I subscribe to are by folks whom I know, or folks whom are two degrees away. I don't search for interesting things to read -- way too much of that already -- but occasionally, minor perturbations uncover new and interesting things. Today, I discovered MarkShead's blog, Productivity501, via an indirect link back. It's a blog about productivity. I find productivity so important, I generally avoid spending time reading about it. However, two items jumped out at me. (M6D)

First, Mark wrote a clever twist on the Tortoise and Hare fable, set in an IronChef competition. I freakin' love IronChef. More importantly, he made a point I've also emphasized in the past -- clean working stations are a critical pattern for high-performance work. (M6E)

Second, I previously blogged MartinFowler's hypothesis that bigger screens made developers more productive. Mark cites an actual study that makes the same claim. (M6F)
