Readables: Articles Worth Reading

This post is simple and probably going to happen repeatedly.   Every week I read a number of cool things online, some are incredibly valuable and should be shared.  So I'm sharing them.  See, I told you it was simple.

• In Defense of Mediocrity : A great article on calming down and not striving for mastery of everything but choosing what level to take which skills to (professionally & personally)

• 5 Stages of Developer/Tester Relationship : A slightly humours but fairly true visual description of how developers view testers on their team.

• Blogger vs Wordpress Comparison Chart 2010 : This is the most helpful guide I found in choosing between Blogger.com & WordPress.com (which turns out to be a hands down, easy choice!)

• MLive - GR BarCamp, the Un-Conference : Thinking my hubby and I might attend this *FREE* (like free beer) un-conference that both our companies are sponsoring.  Should be a h00t.

• Find 10 Buyers Before you Build It!  : This was a big fat "Well, DUH!" moment for me when I read it.  I cannot believe I didn't think of it.  Sheesh.

• [WIRED] Under Pressure: The Search for a Stress Vaccine : I haven't finished reading this because it's quite long.  However, I have already walked away with good insights and am going to make some life changes as a result.  I'm VERY skeptical that a "vaccine" for stress woud be a good idea.

• Time Bridge : We used this tool to find a meeting time for the GLSEC 2011 Board Meeting and it was VERY cool.  Nice way to pick out a meeting time.

There are lots more things that I read this week.  They weren't worth sharing.
