In the next few weeks, I’ll be launching a new column here, called “Tips Busters!” The idea is to take a tip that I, or one of you, have seen, try it out and report here how well (or not) it actually works. Tips can be seductive. They can look good, like they
should work, but many don’t work well enough to actually adopt in regular work practice, others don’t work at all, and some are downright dangerous. Let’s separate the wheat from the chaff. I’ll be picking some of you deputized tips busters and sending you goodies for your efforts (copies of my books, project notebooks, artistic licenses, and other swag). I’m even thinking about getting cloth Tips Busters! patches made. If you have an idea for a tip you’d like to test, send
me an email first.
