I was seeing a few days ago this presentation about improving team productivity, and have but to wonder about the limiting of hours worked per day. To quote the presentation (bolds are mine): “Ford chewed on this problem for 12 years and run dozens of experiments. As a result of Ford’s experiments,he and his fellow industrialists lobbied Congress to pass 40 hour a week labor laws. Not because he was nice. Because he wanted to make the most money possible. We like to think of a 40 hour work week as a ‘liberal policy’ when in fact it was hard headed capitalism at it’s finest.”
I guess this is worth translating: Como resultados de los experimentos de Ford, el congreso hizo leyes para tener 40 horas a la semana de trabajo. No por querer ser bueno con los trabajadores, sino porque asi ganaba más dinero. Capitalismo llevado al máximo.

Today I’ve been rearranging a bit the links at the blog, mainly rearranging links and adding new ones
But while doing that, something I noticed and found amusing was that google reader has a very neat “Your stuff” page listing:
- a neat profile complete with photo and links to other homepages
- shared and starred posts, with a comment
- shared notes, which is a very simple way to do blogging, with a title, a body and tags
That page is available also via RSS, so I’ve also syndicated it to the side of this blog.
Maybe it could even be made to replace the blog itself?
I find the blog keeps mixing both big posts with deep content with smaller “what’s up” posts, and maybe separating these smaller ones to the reader page would be better. But then just using the blog for posting big deep content doesn’t ring so well with the format, and maybe moving that content to a different format such as a proper webpage would be better.
All in all, I have to think a bit more about all this…
EDIT: I’ve created a homepage at google sites with a news frontpage, a links part and also a part for longer articles… let me know how you feel about that! :)
EDIT 2: Moved the homepage to my own domain :)
