Mike asks: I’ve read in Be the Master how you focus on managing your time. But I get yanked around a lot at work – email, meetings, crises, and I suppose some Facebook and Twitter time. How do I figure out where it’s being wasted? I hope you’ll ask a question, too! And here’s the list of everything …
Luis asks: Long time fan here, first time writer :). Over the last 10 years I’ve learned a lot of Powershell and have increasingly used it more and more at my place of employment. It’s more or less now 80% of my job (which I love!). However, I know that simply working on automation and …

Links to most of these can be found at http://leanpub.com/u/donjones.
One of the projects I’m involved with at Pluralsight is our Skill IQ program. Each Skill IQ test is a short, adaptive test driven by a pretty impressive set of under-the-hood algorithms.

I’ve had a lot going on with book-writing recently, so figured I’d offer you a quick roundup.
