HPO in HBR
The July/August 2005 issue of the Harvard Business Review is dedicated to the High-Performance Organization. Some pretty good (and relevant) articles all relating to management, leadership, and of course, high performing organizations.
So when does the annual Slam Kicks issue hit the newsstands? Discussions on who’s going to be on the cover is underway at niketalk.com.
Managing for Creativity
Over many years, the leaders of SAS Institute have distilled a set of principles for getting peak performance from creative people. Among them: Value the work over the tools, reward excellence with challenges, and minimize hassles.

daddytypes.com, the weblog for new dads, is pretty cool. All kinds of topics for new fathers. I especially like the strollers category.
Here’s my contribution to daddytypes, a picture of Chris Martin (lead singer of Coldplay) taking daughter Apple for a stroll in a black Bugaboo Frog.

GTD
What’s with this Getting Things Done (GTD) craze? I’ve read about it here and there and found the site 43folders.com that is dedicated to GTD. Maybe I better get smart on GTD so that I can get things done!
Update: Wired.com has an article about GTD-GTD: A New Cult for the Info Age
Sushi Party
We’re hosting a Make-Your-Own-Sushi party this coming weekend. Check out the details at Evite.
Mr. Peterman was Robbed!
So I watched some episodes of Dancing with the Stars, and it was very entertaining. I thought Seinfeld’s Mr. Peterman, John O’Hurley, should have won instead of Kelly Monaco. Mr. Peterman got style and is a pretty funny dude. Bringing in Mr. Dirty Dancing himself, Patrick Swayze, for dancing tips was classic.
My Little Rapper Girl
Merynn’s fussy and wailing away then she hears Tupac’s California Love playing from my iPod. She immediately stops crying to listen. Who knew my little girl likes Rap music?!
Home Gym
To start losing some of my extra pounds, I got myself a mini-home gym of an adjustable bench and the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells. These dumbbells are pretty neat and take up very little space. They’re kinda bulky compared to regular weights but beats having all those weights around.
