Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PMOne of the downsides to the fact that people
can
work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to
stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly
stressed out workers are
asking their bosses to
cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over
their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried
that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could
be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant
to do so.

Balance?
Taylorism Gone Mad Or A Better Work-Life
Balance?
04/15/2004 03:32 PMIt's really no surprise that this is happening, but as technology
continues to get better at recording all sorts of things about us, a
new discussion is opening up about
employers monitoring employees. Even though
plenty of studies (for years and years and years) have shown that
too much
employee monitoring actually harms productivity that won't stop
this new generation from trying. What's interesting here is the way
it's being spun - not as a direct way of improving productivity
(modern Taylorism), but as a better way for
employers to help
employees impro
ve their work life balance. In other words, the article suggests
that employers can monitor employees' cholesterol levels and stress
levels and realize when they need a break. They (way too easily)
dismiss the idea of privacy by pointing out that privacy doesn't
matter any more (uh... says who?). Even worse, no where do they
explain why it makes sense for the
employer to be doing this
kind of monitoring and keeping this kind of data. It seems perfectly
reasonable for employees to monitor themselves this way, but it's not
clear why an employer should have any need to know this information.

Can Technology Separate Work Life From
Personal?
Can Technology Separate Work Life From
Personal?
12/03/2003 04:58 PM
A very interesting opinion piece talking about the separation of work
life from personal life and wondering if technology can help to differentiate the
two. Normally, people blame technology for blurring the two, but
maybe it's time to see if technology can be molded the other way. The
"problem" is that technology keeps us always connected - so it's hard
to let go. You have laptops and pagers and smart phones that all let
you stay connected away from the office. So, David Berlind is
wondering if technology can be made intelligent enough to distinguish
what mode your in and respond accordingly. While it is sometimes nice
to be able to receive email on a pager, it can become overwhelming.
Plus, what if you want to receive personal emails on the pager, but
not work emails at certain times. For example, over the weekend you
don't want to receive work related email, but still should receive
personal emails. At the same time, if there really is important news
coming from work, you still want to see that. So, the system would
need to be smart enough to understand (a) what mode you're in and (b)
whether or not the particular message is important enough to go across
one mode into the other. It's an interesting idea that I haven't seen
discussed anywhere else, but makes a lot of sense. One of the nice
things about technology is that (in theory) we have the power to make
it do what we want. If that technology seems to be taking over our
lives, then why not reprogram the technology to not take over our
lives?

I've never liked using cans of compressed air as they are wasteful,
expensive and get really cold when you use them and trying to blow
dust or lint off a lens with your lungs usually includes spitting on
the previously clean surface. I found a gadget that has a clever use
of form and function, the Giottos Rocket-Air Blower.
It's shaped like a rocket and pumps enough air through the nozzle to
get all but the most tenacious bits of crud off your camera or
electronics. It even comes with a nice lanyard so you can wear it
around your neck. At a price under $10 it's a practical, beautiful and
economical little tool.

US$7 billion. No, that's not the figure EA is willing to spend in
order to buy every remaining independent development house. Rather,
it's the total spent on videogames last year. Action titles led the
charge on consoles, while PC gamers snapped up strategy games over all
other genres.
Along with the sales figures, Game.Ars looks at yet another new
MMORPG (we need a new one?), the prospects of the first boxing title
for the PC in... a long time to be released in the US, along with all
the other top gaming news from the week just gone by.
