jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 23:57:00 +0000

Over the years I have collected various recipes. I seem to want to find the next best recipe, then cooking the same thing twice. I can't say that I have tried each recipe, but I think all are aleast something to try, since I found most of them on FoodTV or within my favorite cook-book. Let me know if you have a favorite.

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 00:19:00 +0000

For those that are not from the New England area and have young children (to be honest, I'm a kid at heart) you have to check out StoryLand in Glen, New Hampshire. This week-end went on our second annual trip with the boys to StoryLand. The last ride of the day was the Bamboo Chutes roller coaster. It was awesome.....

Kitchen Renovation: Week 3

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Tue, 17 May 2005 12:45:00 +0000

All wiring has been completed. In ceiling lights are going to light-up the kitchen. Cambridge Soundworks speakers (Ambiance 50, Newton MC100, Outdoor 42,) are all wired into the kitchen, family room and deck. CAT-5 has been wired from the basement into the kitchen, family room and kid's room to allow for future wired internet access. A new box that will enclose all cable/internet equipment will be installed in the basement. Things are really coming together. Walls will be going up next week, along with the wood floor installation. Cabinet installation is planned for the end of May. We are all getting very excited and looking forward to seeing things come together in the next couple of weeks.

Precious!!!!

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 00:54:00 +0000

In David Allen's GTD approach, one of the principles is to get things out of your head, "Mind Like Water". I have tried multiple tools for writing things down (ie: electronic, paper, wiki etc.) and this week stumbled on this compact pen and pad set that fits in your wallet.

Winning by Jack Welch

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 13:37:00 +0000

The other day I was taking a drive up to New Hampshire and I had an opportunity to listen to some of Jack Welch's audio book Winning. There is a section in the book about hire good people and if you had to ask one interview question what would it be. Mr. Welch felt that a really good interview question is to ask potential candidates:

"Why did you leave your last job and the one before it?"

What are some of your favorite interview questions to building a great team?

The Joy of Growing Up Italian

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 01:23:00 +0000

As a young boy I have fond memories of heading to Long Island from New Jersey on Sunday morning to visit my Grandma and Papa for traditional Sunday dinner. I can remember vividly the abundance of good Italian food and grandpa at the end of the table drinking a small glass of homemade red wine and puffing on his cigar. Attached is an article that a colleague gave me a couple of years ago that talks about growing up Italian. I found the article to be very moving and hope that this tradition could continue with my family. Do you have Sunday dinners at your house that brings your family together?

Odeo Podcasting: New Features

jlindenthal@gmail.com (Jim Lindenthal (Lindy)) — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 00:18:00 +0000

I mentioned Odeo last month in the Web 2.0 blog entry. I was reading through my RSS feeds in NewsGator tonight and saw on the Odeo's blog that they have introduced some new features. Well I went over to my Odeo account, created a short podcast, pasted the HTML coding into my Blogger editing software and within 10 minutes I have audio on my blog. The question I have to start figuring out is how to effectively us this technology to share my ideas and thoughts with the hope of expanding my communication reach. Do you have any thoughts on how to use blog's and podcasting to enhance team communication?
