111. Is There a Cure for the 'Distraction Virus'?
May 22, 2008 By Mike Elgan
We all want to succeed in our careers. We go to school for at least 16 years. We study late at night to pass exams and get certifications. We take on-the-job training, and try to teach ourselves new skills. We attend industry conferences to build our knowledge and cultivate peer contacts. We read productivity books and blogs, and try to get more work done in less...
110. Work Ethic 2.0: Attention Control
Work Ethic 2.0: Attention Control By Mike Elgan December 29, 2008
The industrial revolution didn’t arise out of nowhere, and it didn’t arise everywhere. It was made possible by the emergence of a set of personal values that came to be known as the “work ethic.”

108. SolidAlliance Aura Monitor
I’m not too sure what this Aura Monitor from SolidAlliance does, but apparently it is a ball-shaped device that can be hooked up to your cellphone or other personal belongings while changing its color according to your current aura. I suppose this works in the same manner as a mood ring, albeit on a geekier level. No idea on how much it costs nor when will the Aura Monitor be available,...

99. Continuous Partial Social Attention
Working on the big IFTF project today, I discovered that a phrase I’d been playing with did not exist anywhere in Googlespace (and if you can’t Google it, it doesn’t exist, right?). I thought I’d go ahead and stake a claim now, in case the term has any legs. Continuous Partial Social Attention: the maintenance of multiple constant social connections through networked tools...
