Here are another 5 quick picks for you, the loyal reader:<\/o:p><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

\"fatherdude_250\"MUSIC: Father Dude <\/b>\u2013 The brainchild of Harlem, New York-based Mitch Conwell, Father Dude is an R&B\/soul throw-back — but in an entirely fresh and exciting way. Sonically somewhere between Nick Ashford (of Ashford & Simpson fame) and Maxwell, Conwell fronts a four-piece band that can not only do funky, but also guitar-based heavy. Check out Father Dude\u2019s website for tracks from the new EP, in addition to a cover of Edgar Winter\u2019s \u201cDying To Live.\u201d (fatherdude.com<\/a>) \u00a0<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

BOOK: Mike Sacks \/ And Here\u2019s The Kicker<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Subtitled \u201cConversations With Top Humor Writers About Their Craft,\u201d Mike Sacks\u2019 latest is the stuff of dreams for any comedy connoisseur.\u00a0 Featuring interviews with over 20 scribes \u2013- in addition to a foreword and other writers\u2019 contributions -\u2013 Sacks not only gets to the bottom of why many people are indeed behind the scenes but how some famous bits came into shape. As the participants include people who\u2019ve worked on everything from \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d and \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d to \u201cThe Dick Cavett Show\u201d and Woody Allen films, multiple generations of laughter are represented in these pages.

SERIES: Kevin Pollak\u2019s Chat Show<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Although many know Kevin Pollak first and foremost for his dramatic performances in films (e.g. A Few Good Men<\/i>, The Usual Suspects<\/i>, Casino<\/i>), he is known by many others as a veteran stand-up comic and impressionist. Airing live on his Web site every Sunday — and available after the fact as an iTunes podcast download \u2013- Kevin Pollak\u2019s Chat Show<\/i> features the host in an interactive yet Charlie Rose-like format. Viewers are able to submit questions to Pollak and his often-A-List guest(s) through Twitter and the website\u2019s chat platform. All at no cost.

TOOL: drop.io <\/b>\u2013 As more companies become digitally-dependent, there becomes more of a need to have secure delivery of files. For example, would you want an internal proposal leaking to just anyone? drop.io comes to the rescue, picking up the slack where many similar sites fall short, permitting users to customize when their password-protected files are to be deleted. Yet another cost-free recommendation brought to you by \u201cKeeping Up.\u201d (drop.io<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

ARTICLE: Jason Fitzpatrick \/ \u201cReduce Your Inboxes to Streamline Your Workflow and Reduce Stress\u201d <\/b>\u2013 Another product of today\u2019s growing digital divide is people holding down more than one job and\/or role, thus bringing multiple streams of e-mail. In this piece, Jason Fitzpatrick provides some tips about how to adjust your inbox to be able to receive as many messages as needed, but in a less-intimidating and productivity-inducing fashion. I personally \u2013- as a full-time employee that also freelances \u2013- made similar changes in recent weeks, opting to \u201clabel\u201d and \u201cfilter\u201d particular e-mails by keywords and\/or senders, thus reducing the number of times I check for less urgent messages.
