What Percent of Your Work is Done via Your Mobile Device?
I was asked this last night at a Memorial Day weekend party and I actually wasn’t able to answer it immediately:
What percent of your work per day is done on your mobile device?
After thinking about it for a second I said that on any given day during an 8 to 9 hour work day I probably spend at least 90 minutes doing work from my mobile device.
I would imagine that it’s only going to increase over time as I bust out that iPad that’s collecting dust…
How about you? What would be your answer?

Mobile Blogging (and Tweeting) No Nos
I’ve seen more than my fair share already of some mobile tweets of people’s Memorial Day vacation experiences and a few of them have been, *ahem*, “questionable” at best.

2 Computer Technologies I Wish I Had Now
Sure, I’ve got an iPad. But I’ll admit that it’s nothing really revolutionary.
In fact, it’s not really that much of a step forward in terms of my everyday productivity and entertainment. Honestly, I barely use it for work.
But, that’s ok. I’ve got a very particular use for it and it does just fine with what I need it to do. As a result it meets my expectations and it’s been worth the financial investment.
But here are two technologies that I wish I had right now that I think would most certainly impact the way that I work and my productivity. Please, can you come any sooner?
New to Startups? StartupToDo Might Help…
I’d imagine that there are more than a handful of “starters” or entrepreneurs in the evangelical web space that read this blog (or one of the others in our network) but not all of you guys have experience with startups and the like.
Perhaps you need a bit of guidance from those that have come before?
A website perhaps? Well, this might be one to check out:
