So my friend Brian (AKA Mr. Nifty and Awesome WordPress Developer) showed we this little web app that is so simple but yet so useful. This application is called WorkFlowy, cute huh? Well basically it’s an app that allows users to quickly craft up a basic textual task flow in an outline format. Surprisingly it’s so easy to use that you can quickly draft up a software application flow with just a few key strokes. I mean at first glance I thought it was silly but after playing with it for a bit it’s actually pretty easy to use. Super easy and simple, give it a try! Did I mention it was free?

Steve Jobs Resigns, What a Legacy
When I heard the news yesterday about Steve Jobs resigning as the CEO of Apple I was really sad. We’ve watched one of the most incredible business stories unfold before our eyes when Steve came back to Apple in 1997, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Then in 14 years he makes Apple one of the most profitable companies in the world. What an incredible business story and what a legacy he leaves on his resignation as CEO of Apple.
I can’t explain how proud I am that I was apart of the original product line when OS X was first released. I am so thankful for you and your innovation because you sir have changed the world forever. Apple will never be the same with out you as the CEO Mr. Jobs. I think you are one of the most intelligent people on this planet and it has been a pleasure to use your companies products. I can only hope to be as intelligent, business savvy and rock a black mock turtle neck like you do. Thank you.

I’m Speaking At Front End Design Conference
UPDATE: The conference is now sold out! For those who signed up! I’ll see you there!
At Lift my role is very complicated sometimes. Not only am I responsible for the day-to-day operations, I’m also the Business Analyst, the Sales Executive, a User Experience Designer and the Project Manager. So when we get a project, I’m very heavily involved and because of this I never miss a beat with our clients expectations. I feel this is the reason why Lift is doing some great things, as we manage our time well and we treat our customers with respect. We do this by providing great communication, setting the client’s expectations and meeting those expectations.
At the conference I’m going to be speaking about how we manage our projects at Lift and how it has made our projects very successful. My presentation is titled “The Art of Managing a Creative Project: From Sale to Completion”. I hope you can join me!

Mike Monteiro On Getting Paid
I’m really not into the strong language that Mike Monteiro uses here but the points that he makes are spot on. When we got our own lawyer it made things so much easier for getting paid and getting contracts in place with our clients. I suggest you watch this video for sure.
