Soon I hope to try a bold new experiment with this feature.
In preparing this update each weekend for Monday morning publication, I’ve been torn between the wish to make it a pretty short and simple list of links with minimal commentary, and the irresistable urge to comment.
Giving in to the latter urge makes the project consume inordinate amounts of my time, and results in unwieldy posts like last week’s.
Kevin O’Keefe of LexBlog (”Building Blogs for Lawyers”) suggested that I try a pseudo-podcast, simply listing the links and then recording my comments to an audio file that I upload and link to the blog.
(To understand why it would not quite be a real podcast, see this wikipedia definition)
Potentially, best of both worlds: I can say more about the posts, more quickly, by just speaking into a microphone. If you want to hear my words of wisdom, you listen. If not, you just click through on links that sound interesting.
Unfortunately, I got hung up learning the recording software, and was unable to complete the recording in time. So here are the bare-naked links for this week’s update. Hopefully audio next time!
Start with four from About.com Human Resources Blog, edited by Susan Heathfield:
“Top Six Work-Life Balance Books: Your Family-Friendly Future” by Susan M. Heathfield

Janell also has this story, widely picked up in the media earlier this month:

From Contingent Workforce.org:

New Blog, with attitude:
“Shut-Up And Smile: If you have a story to share about toxic workplaces – what it feels like to work in such environments, how it effects daily operations, and how to get out of such a condition—then this is the blog for you.”
Next, The Employment Law Bulletin:
Finally, The Greater Valley Forge HR Law Link:
