With all the talk of the recession and layoffs on nearly every news story available, I figured I would share some tips for you and your co-workers to help have a cumulative effect on the resources of your company.
What kind of impact can your little gestures really have on a company? I would say some, but not major, unless you get others involved. Think of it as your little penny savings plan.
Looking for easy ways to have a more positive impact on your enviroment while getting the needed materials for your office? When PC Helps opened its new office in Cleveland, OH we found more environmentally friendly workstations.

Often my wife, co-workers, and friends say that I have a really strange way of thinking and it is extremely difficult to follow the logic on the train wreck of thoughts running through my head. In fact, the most common expression I hear from people tends to be, “How did you get that when we started out with this?” To which I reply, “Do you really want to know how I started at A, then went to Z, then back to Y, on to 3 through 12, and finish on B and C?” Inevitably, after they ask the first time, they usually don’t ask again.

Today I decided to focus on 10 Tips for the iPhone. Can’t help it! The people who do iPhone support for our company (also our MAC people) tend to feel left out with so many tips being focused on Microsoft products and BlackBerry devices.

Every winter, I tell myself I am going to buy one of those remote car starters — you know, those things where I can stay toasty warm in the confines of my own home while de-icing my car. But then summer comes, there is no more need, and I forget.
