Found this article today on Lifehacker. It really make sense. Everyone should read it.

Edit:
Also check out this one – The Trick to Accomplishing More by Doing Less: Take Breaks
It talks about how things that take longer than 90 minutes with no breaks are less productive due to blood glucose levels.
Interesting talk on Computer/Human interaction.
I found this great video on TED tonight.

If anything belongs in my “Doing Things Better” section, this does. I also think the timing of this comic to the creation of this section of my blog funny. I found this comic on XKCD today and it speaks volumes and is so true. The example problem is probably not a great one but nevertheless, doing the right thing and creating robust code is more cost efficient in the long run and will save you so many headaches over time.

Saw a link to this video Adam Savage’s Twitter feed this morning. Its ultimately hard to believe that 2012 will mark the 40th year since we’ve been to the moon or further.
