Administrivia + A Must Read Book For All Ergonomics Professionals

Apologies for the silence lately ... I have been very busy professionally!

I have also been doing my share of reading lately. I read through The 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss a second time, and I am now convinced: this book is a must read for all ergonomists, as it contains invaluable information on cognitive and organizational ergonomic concepts (the 80/20 priniciple, e-mail as a distraction, the need for work-life separation, etc). Look for a full book review soon!
