Do tech companies need face time to innovate? http://buff.ly/13uHRhj

@chrisyour thanks Chris! Didn't realize you could do that!

RT @lorindaapps: @Cmdr_Hadfield my little guys took a picture with you today.

@PatrickKerby that looks amazing. Will those snow seats melt?

@thomasfuchs @mj1531 @amyhoy No, no, no. Canadian gangsters say: "How's it goin', eh?" http://www.howsitgoineh.com/

@dakrasnov So many veggies. She must be worried about my health. ;)

@mj1531 @amyhoy @thomasfuchs ha ha. That's amazing. This MC says "thank you" here which makes him genuinely Canadian: http://youtu.be/bOFVL8w6WNA?t=41s

@mj1531 @amyhoy @thomasfuchs +1 for making a reference to the only rapper from Canada.

My lunches are always healthier when my wife packs them.

@kevinhorek Haven't had time yet. :(

.@kylefox and I are in "New & Noteworthy" (Canada) along with @danbenjamin and @Malarkey. Is it the same in the USA?

@patio11 I really like the @hyperink bonus: you buy the book for yourself, and can then gift the book to your friends. Brilliant.

@patio11 tell me more! Was that a good route for you to go? (as opposed to producing the e-book yourself?)

@lxt @joduinn I'd love to see it!

@kdnewton yes! Here it is: http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/contract-killer/

@kevinhorek @beect I bought them for our next Team Building Exercises.

@kdnewton ha ha. There has to be *some* moderation I guess. ;)

@beect well that's embarrassing.

@Nickvisual ha ha ha ha ha.

@Nickvisual whoa.

@fbourdeau Thanks! What was significant about it for you?

@Nickvisual what happened?

@lxt does Mozilla have a good framework for managing remote teams? Is it published anywhere I can read it?

@amyhoy as a background, here's the previous post I wrote: http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work/

@amyhoy to me this is different. It's saying: the issue isn't about "work from home" it's about how we lead our people.

@amyhoy Simplistic as an outline (each point could be a separate post) but has been helpful for me as a team leader.

@amyhoy ha ha. I appreciate it. It's odd though: that 3 step focus really helped me as a manager (supervising a local + remote team of 10)

@amyhoy but this is management. It's both. Hire great people + figure out what works.

@amyhoy absolutely. That's why I say managers need to empower people to do their best work.

@amyhoy I don't think so. Maybe hard to enact, but not a hard concept.

@lxt I just quoted you on my post: "How to end the work-from-home debate" http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work-debate/ Let me know what you think.

@hnshah ha ha. And here I am trying to make it simple. ;)

@hnshah thoughts on the "work-from-home" debate? http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work-debate/

@thebakerruns you could be right: this might be their tactic. ;) It still seems like an odd strategy to me.

@thebakerruns thanks man! True; that could be their intention, but the optics are terrible! (if they're hoping to attract new people)

@rhysgjones thanks for sharing my post!

@kevinhorek thanks man.

How to end the "work from home" debate http://buff.ly/13q2E5O (just got a few points on HN)

@photomatt Hey Matt, I was on Huff Post Live yesterday talking about Yahoo. @automattic got a bunch of mentions ;) http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/marissa-mayer-work-from-home-ban-yahoo/51295ed32b8c2a083300075a

@dhh I've figure it out: how to end the "work from home" debate. ;) http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work-debate/

@charlieirish ill check that out

Just sent our Product People email newsletter, http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=428750&q=561443361&qz=316001. You can subscribe here: http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/Subscribe.aspx?m=28549

RT @stuffmartysaid: "Dad, were you a nerd when you were a teenager?"

@patio11 me too. Are taxes in Japan worse than taxes in Canada?

I'm loving doing this show with @kylefox: @productpeopletv. Interviews with the *best* product people. http://productpeople.tv/

@ChrisLaBossiere I don't see it! Is it a car?

@stevewandler @dquail truth.

@mbutson let me know what you think!

@Lockedown_ such an odd message for them to send to their entire staff. If there are "slackers" those should be dealt with individually.

@jasonfried you're welcome.

@dquail nope. Come to the Okanagan and hang out with @stevewandler and I!

@dhh I was on Huff Post Live today talking about Yahoo. @37signals got a bunch of mentions ;) http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/marissa-mayer-work-from-home-ban-yahoo/51295ed32b8c2a083300075a

Had a great time on @HuffPostLive w @lisabelkin @startupstella @EmilyRPeck talking about Yahoo's Work-From-Home Ban: http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/marissa-mayer-work-from-home-ban-yahoo/51295ed32b8c2a083300075a

@EmilyRPeck great to meet you today Emily. If you ever need a source from someone working in the software industry, let me know. ;)

@lisabelkin it was nice to meet you Lisa. If you ever need a source from a "real remote worker"let me know. ;)

@dquail thanks man. Are you working out of #yeg today?

@screenheroapp cool. Yeah, I'd like to try that out. Today I'm slammed though. ;)

Hey I'm going to be on @HuffPostLive at 1:15pm PST to talk about Yahoo's Work-From-Home Ban: http://buff.ly/13XYXzK

@andydubbin was just in a meeting. I'm back, I sent you an email. I'm in. Test hangouts with me anytime.

@dquail related. Point #1: http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/

@stuartma people asked you for a meeting and didn't come? Crazy!

@amyhoy ha ha. That Tumblr is basically my life.

I can identify with all of these: Sad desk lunch http://bit.ly/13cdA6O

@JustinNipper sorry, should be good now

My interview with @jasonfried is live on my podcast: @productpeopletv and here http://productpeople.tv/jasonfried

@danbenjamin This is the Internet! Of course it's "real".

@danbenjamin If he can't be on, I'd be happy to. ;) Here's my post that he retweeted: http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work/

@patio11 Yes: it seems in terms of (future) sales, being able to talk about past wins would be beneficial. Is this what you mean?

RT @GlobeTechnology: Telework or teamwork? Yahoo and the evolution of the office http://flip.it/opZ1Q #cdntech

RT @mb: Great engineers are the best “product” people.

@patio11 does this apply to your product / business as well? (Not sure what you meant by "career")

@rskopecek hmm. Hard to tell. He wasn't wearing a shirt at the time (sneaky).

@renita_olson I've heard that.

@rskopecek ha ha. My 3 year old or Apple? Wait... do you think Apple hired him to do that?

@tnorthcutt ha ha. He got scared and took it out right away. Poor little guy.

RT @ryanjanvier: @mijustin He must be an Android fan.

@ryanjanvier ha ha ha ha. This really made me laugh.

Well, my 3 year old just dropped my iPhone in the toilet.

"The more people focus on identity (female, founder, hacker), the less they focus on results." - @amyhoy http://buff.ly/13g19XM

@andydubbin DMed you my address.

@andydubbin yes, I am interested. ;)

@HatterSarah time to move to Canada.

@ssktn hey, thanks for linking to my show on the @ttimsmith interview!

@rrhoover @amyhoy I'm betting that overall engagement goes down for TH users who switch from email to the mobile app. http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/messaging/14790.html

Just a small taste of what a weekend at the Jackson's is like: http://buff.ly/13LJhQ4

@amyhoy @rrhoover interesting about TimeHop: I loved it when it was an email; don't use it as a "push" based iOS app.

@marcoarment I thought that was going to be a photo of you looking at minivans.

@JamesAddison Yes. Look at the resemblance!

@ryanjanvier eating cookies...

Do you remember when you HAD to wear sweatpants to go on the internet?

@amyhoy ha ha ha. I love this. Classic married conversation.

@kevinhorek have you seen this? http://everylastdrop.co.uk/ Pretty snazzy.

@robwalling I'm on the same machine. It's gooood.
