Why we are getting rid of our hourly rate →
Value-Based Billing User experience agency Teehan+Lax published a post that explains why they’re moving from time-based to value-based billing for their agency.  For years I have been charging value-based, and it’s incredibly rare that I personally or my agency New Ezra bills by the hour.  I really like the way they explained their reasoning for the switch to value-based.

Books in the age of the iPad →
“Print is dying. Digital is surging. Everyone is confused. Good riddance.” Excellent article by Craig Mod on the future of books in a digital world, content forms, sustainability, and book layout design.  Plus, the layout of the article is fantastic! Take 10-15 minutes to read this article & reblog it.  I highly recommend it.

Workaholism
From 37signals’ book REWORK, illustration by Mike Rohde Our culture celebrates the idea of the workaholic. We hear about people burning the midnight oil. They pull all-nighters and sleep at the office. It’s considered a badge of honor to kill yourself over a project. No amount of work is too much work.
