Rich Picks

Rich Picks Summary

Rich Picks is a distinguished list of things, people or even ideas that are cool, useful, handy, "why didn't I think of that", honorable or simply good, common sense. You may know of something or someone just like it, or you may even disagree with my selection. I built each Rich Pick on a blog page so feel free to share your thoughts and feelings as I have. Remember - agree to disagree, be respectful and recognize there may be different schools of thought in the world besides yours.

If you'd like to make a nomination contact me and let me know all about it.

Geared Towards Legend

  · Everyone: 'nuf said.
  · General Users: Just that, no one in particular. If you are capable of operating a computer, a mouse and an internet browser you'll probably benefit from this selection.
  · Corporate America: If you work in an office, a cube, have a boss or two and need to do more than one thing as part of your daily task list then this selection might help you.
  · Freelancers: You're a consultant, a contractor, or hired muscle to help out your clients with specific projects, work overflow, new initiatives to daily maintenance. This selection might get you a pat on the back for simply knowing about it.
  · Artsy/Designer Folk: You're a creative, user interface building, color coordinated graphics person, and you probably have the only Mac in the whole company. Good for you! A selection for you is definitely an Ace up your sleeve as it may not exist for your PC driving counterparts.
  · IT Veterans: You're not old, you're simply "seasoned", "experienced" and don't really care what language or code your write the darn app in, just get it done. And if you could have it done before lunch that would be great. These selections typically net you direct benefits for workflow improvement, shortcuts, libraries, repositories and old stuff rewritten in this cool new way.
