Our experts share insights on naming, branding and starting a new venture.

Tip: Pick a Top 15 Trending Name.

Consider a name that's on-trend. Here are the top 15 company names that have been trending over the past 30 days:,,,,,,,,,,,,, and

Trap: Cut Once. Measure Twice.

Before you launch your new venture you'll want to make sure that you're positioned for success. Temper you zeal and take time to structure a “blueprint" for your new company. The time you spend planning at the very beginning of your start-up could well mean the difference between success and failure. Here's a great resource to help you plan: Business Plan Template.

Tip: Choose a Name With Energy.

You want a name for your company that clearly defines your brand, that creates interest and importantly, sells your good or services. Keep this in mind when making your final business name selection.

Trap: Start-Up Myopia.

Too many entrepreneurs are so just concerned about the launch of their business that they rush to pick a name that's just "ok." Remember that you're building a going concern for long term sustainability. Think 5, 10, even 20 years into the future. Your company name shouldn't just meet your positioning objectives for today, but should keep growth options open in the future.

Tip: Measurable Start-Up Goals.

If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. You'll want to have clearly defined goals for every functional area of your start-up. From these goals you can set specific and measurable performance objectives.

Trap: Make Sure Your Name is Really Available.

A common mistake that entrepreneurs make is choosing a name that they are unable to use. Trademark issues, corporate registrations, global competition and the finite number of dot-com domain names available make the process more challenging than ever. Be sure that you check availability of your name choice before you launch your start-up Learn More About Available Names

Tip: Brandable Names Rock.

A "brandable" company name is purely invented and fabricated. While a brandable name is not a dictionary word, if strategically constructed, evokes a powerful emotion that is linked to your brand.

Brandywine House Books & Media is a family-owned and run publishing house that specializes in bringing unconventional media to mainstream audiences. We are focused on producing and elevating traditional and new media that contributes to sustainability and the future of humanity.

New Books

The Legalized Crime of Banking by Silas Adams: Brandywine House will be releasing in January 2009 progressive populist Silas Adams's timeless work, which lays bare the banking industry. In just under 200 pages, Adams explains in easy-to-understand terms how a private corporation was handed the power to control credit and debt in America and profit massively by creating money out of thin air. For those who truly want to understand how the 2008 global economic depression has largely come about as a result of the ills of the American system of credit and private banking, pick up a copy of this book today. Edited by Brandywine House editors. Includes detailed glossary section.

Ron Paul Revolution: The Writings and Speeches of Congressman Ron Paul: Brandywine House's release of an all-new, 278-page assembly of some of Dr. Paul’s more significant writings is all the more timely now that Dr. Paul has brought his principles of liberty, equality, small government and privacy to the national arena. The chapter titles illustrate the broad scope of the material appearing within: Big Government Run Amuck, Freedom From Government, Your Health Privacy, Dollars & Debt, Tax Reform, Immigration and Welfare, Constitutional Foreign Policy, Gun Owner Rights, and, finally, War and Peace. Foreword by Charlotte Iserbyt. 350 index entries.

Voice of a Maverick: The Speeches and Writings of Senator Mike Gravel: Senator Mike Gravel stepped into the race for the White House in April 2006, the first of what would be eight Democratic contenders. His message of empowering the American people resonated with his grassroots supporters and made him a powerful and influential voice on the national scene. Voice of a Maverick is the only authorized book  that contains his speeches and writings during his campaign. 100 pages with over 10 pages of photos while on the campaign trail. Also includes over 100 index entries.

Fall of Thanes, and other matters

For those who have not seen it yet, here is the cover for Fall of Thanes, in all its beardy and mail-clad glory:

Nice, no? And to answer the single commonest question I get asked these days: the planned publication date for Fall of Thanes is May 2009. It may vary slightly depending on exactly which bit of the planet you call home, but as things currently stand we seem to be on schedule, so it should be in that ballpark for everyone.

And while we're on the subject of books, the hardback of Bloodheir more or less sold out in the UK in a gratifyingly short period (for which many thanks to all those who bought a copy!). That's good, obviously, but it has meant that for a while now the book's not been universally available in these here parts, and those who didn't snap up the hardback early on might have been feeling a bit left out. Change is afoot, however, as trade paperbacks have now been released in the UK, so Bloodheir is once more available from Amazon UK, and should filter into bookshops nicely in time for Chrsitmas. Should you happen to know anyone who's been hankering after a copy, do let them know - the mass market paperback's still 4 or 5 months away, after all.

There has been some minor tweaking and polishing of the website, these last few days - so minor, in the main, that no one but me and the webguy is ever likely to notice the differences. One thing I'd quite like people to notice, though, is the addition of a couple of new links on the relevant page. I've mentioned both the websites concerned in this blog before, but will take any opportunity to try and drive a few more eyes their way, so:

Strange Maps is a long-running demonstration of the wisdom of picking a single, original theme for a blog and sticking with it. You never know quite what's going to show up, but it'll often be surprising, interesting and/or pretty to look at it. Especially if you like maps, naturally.

The Abominable Charles Christopher is by some distance my favourite webcomic at the moment - has been for a long time, in fact. Not surely precisely why, but I think it's some combination of: beautifully precise and expressive art, joke strips that I find gently amusing, an over-arching story arc that's dark and mysterious (possibly a bit too mysterious to be honest, since I'm not sure anyone's really figured out exactly what's going on), and Karl Kerschl's obvious affection for the characters he's created.

I really like this cover.
Oh, by the way, I do have some trade paperbacks of Bloodheir in stock now and I have more Winterbirth on order as there's only one left (I sold something like 80 so far)

What started out as an inventive trend just a few years back, wedding dresses with illusion necklines have fast become a bridal standby. Offering coverage, creative embellishments, and the opportunity to show a little extra skin all-the-while providing support, it's not surprising that so many engaged ladies are trying the trend. Plus, the sheer look comes in a variety of styles, so there's a look for nearly every type of bride-to-be.

Love the romantic allure of a sheer illusion but want something a bit more traditional? Try the endless lace and floral-appliqué options popularized by designers such as Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and Oscar de la Renta. On the other hand, if you're a modern girl, you can go for a wedding dress by Amsale, whose neckline is barely visible, or an architectural Angel Sanchez gown. There's also a good number of vintage numbers, utilizing beading and daintier lace to get an antique aesthetic across. If you're going for a roaring '20s or Victorian look try Claire Pettibone, Inbal Dror, or Temperley.

Of course an illusion neckline no longer has to necessarily be high-cut, either. Plenty of illusion necklines manifest themselves on bateau, off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, and V-necklines. Or, the opposite can be true, with the recent surge in mock and turtleneck wedding dresses.

Looking to wear an illusion neckline on your big day? Click through to see some of the best, most inventive illusion necklines to recently hit the bridal runways.

Recommended Additional Features for Multimeters in Robot Building

written by: Terry Ligard • edited by: Lamar Stonecypher • updated: 6/29/2011

In order to make robot building even more efficient, you don't only purchase any multimeter, but you can purchase one with extra features that are not typically included in basic multimeters. Although the price will be higher, it is well worth the purchase.

  • slide 1 of 8

    Previously, I wrote about the required features of multimeters for robot building. In this article, I will cover other nice-to-have recommended features that are worth paying the extra for. However, if you’re budget is limited, you can stick with a more basic multimeter. The recommended features make the task of robot building easier and more efficient.

  • slide 2 of 8

    Capacitance is an indication of how many electrons can be stored, and is measured in farads. For robotic purposes, it is recommended to have a capacitance range of 0.000000000020 f to 0.01 F. Although most multimeters do have the capacitance feature, most do not have as wide a range.

  • slide 3 of 8

    Diode mode being used to determine LED color   The diode mode is an indication as to how much electrical pressure is needed to turn a semiconductor on, and is measured in volts. For robotic purposes, the diode mode is critical since it can aid us in identifying different types of diodes, and identifying and testing transistors.

  • slide 4 of 8

    Continuity is an indication as to whether or not there is an electrical connection between two different points, and is measUsing continuity to test electrical connection   ured in ohms. The continuity feature comes in two forms--audible and inaudible. Audible continuity means that a beep is sounded when an electrical connection exists between two points. Inaudible continuity means that you will have to use the resistance setting, in which you must look at the display instead of listening for a beep.

  • slide 5 of 8

    Frequency measurement   Frequency is an indication as to how many times something is happening every second, and is measured in hertz. For robotic purposes, it is recommended to have a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 50,000,000 Hz. Although some multimeters do have a frequency feature, most do not have as wide a range.

  • slide 6 of 8

    Duty Cycle

    Duty cycle is an indication as to how frequently a measurement is high as compared to how frequently a measurement is low, and is measured in percentages. For robotics, the duty cycle measurement is crucial for pulse-width modulation. This feature is usually accessed in the frequency mode. Most multimeters do not have the duty cycle feature.

  • slide 7 of 8

    Transistor test sockets   The transistor mode gives an indication as to the amount of amplification of a transistor by measuring the hFE. By inserting a transistor into the socket holes, you can determine its bipolar nature, whether npn or pnp. If your multimeter does not have a transistor mode, you can use the diode feature to determine the bipolar nature of a transistor.

Top 5 habits of highly effective project managers

Sylvia Pennington

Challenge or fight? Project management tips that can make a difference.

Challenge or fight? Project management tips that can make a difference. Photo: Jessica Hromas/Schlock Films

Executing a technology project successfully is no mean feat.

Our story last week on project disasters drew a slew of reminiscences from techie types who'd been involved in them directly, watched them unfold or helped mop up the mess afterwards.

Although it's not a guarantee of success, having the right person at the helm can mean the difference between a project that meets its goals and one that ends up out of time, over budget and on the autopsy table.

So what are the key traits of a kick-ass ICT project manager?

1. It's about the destination, not the journey

Any project manager (PM) can learn to do a Gantt chart, spout knowledgeably about Prince2 or throw together a dazzling PowerPoint presentation. A killer PM recognises these things are just fancy tools, says Chris Goldstone, managing director of ICT consultancy Strategic Directions.

“PMs have to focus on the business outcomes, not the project management process,” he says. “That's the difference between a PM and a project administration officer. They assess everything in the project to ensure it aligns with the business outcomes that are sought.”

2.Talk the talk

Having the gift of the gab is rarely a bad thing – but a good project manager is not just all mouth and trousers. He or she needs a flexible communication style that can build rapport in the executive suite and win the trust of the techies back on the office floor, says Jonathan Chapman, an associate director at IT headhunters Robert Half International. Politically astute, best-of-breed PMs can influence stakeholders who sit above them in the hierarchy, Chapman adds.

Being able to keep a project team motivated is just as important as having the boardroom backslapping schtick down pat, adds Helen Crossing, an organisational psychologist at Inspirational Workplaces.

“IT teams are full of introverts and lots of highly technical people,” she says. “You need to be effective in managing these types.”

3. A watchful pilot

'What happens if we strike a technical problem, miss a key deadline, can't get the contract staff we need till next month or they're going to cost more than we thought?' Good PMs have already thought about these things because they know their role is to anticipate and mitigate risks to their project, Goldstone says.

Risk mitigation can include putting the kibosh on requests to change course midstream, even if they come from on high, or being able point out the dangers of doing so if they're insisted upon.

“They need to be outcome-focused and able to say no, if something looks like jeopardising the project,” Goldstone says.

Practice manager at systems integrator SMS Management and Technology Michelle Lac agrees. “They must satisfy the stakeholders without allowing them to take over the management of the project.”

4. Devilish details

Keeping both eyes on the prize is vital but a top PM also has eyes in the back of their head. They know exactly what's going on in the trenches while they're sorting out the big issues and keeping the suits upstairs sweet.

"You need attention to detail," says Alan Hansell, an adviser on IT management issues at research house IBRS. "PMs don't have to do the small tasks themselves – but they do need to make sure they get done. It's good to be big picture but you also need to be very granular when it comes to large projects. Problems arise when small things are overlooked."

Knowing just how much governance to apply to project tasks can be an art in itself, adds Goldstone. Asking staff to write a 60-page scope document for a $100,000 piece of work can be overkill, he says, while the, 'it's only $100K – I'll just leave it to you' style of management may be the fast track to cost overruns.

5. A good crap-o-meter

It's always nice to be told by the team that things are going well – but a top PM doesn't just tick things off the list without checking for themselves.

"They need a good filter to be able to work out when the work is complete and when it isn't," Hansell says. "You can get into all sorts of trouble if everything is taken at face value. You need to be able to test claims."

  • I worked in many projects. There were many people who were technically average or below the line. They were all steered, by push or pull doesn't matter, into project management.
    It was in the past. May be the working environment has changed a lot since then.

    • Oh dear ... PM's in the spot light ... Can't end well.

      1st rule, value your staff it is they that achieve the glory you bask in. It is our job to make you look great and it is your job to recognize this. Undervalue the 'workers' at your peril.

      2nd rule, with respect to talk the talk, drop the crap motivational or deflecting mantras - Management is not a "two way street" when you only go in one direction.

      3rd rule, when the sh.t has hit the fan don't stand over us trying to micro manage something you don't understand. Let us get on with the job and report to you when we need you, namely to understand what we intend to do and for you to authorize it. Until then, manage the flak it is what you are employed for.

      4th rule, when we tell you something is wrong or some process is a waste of time, we tell you this because it is true. Rewarding teams that create change records that have all the t's crossed and i's dotted does not mean it is a success needing recognition when the change fails. Once problems or problem processes are identified, it is then your responsibility to allow us the leverage to get a disfunctional or wasteful process improved, not to criticize those that are trying.

      5th don't expect us to do politics, that's your job. We are in the business of defining complex systems and resolving complex problems, ours is not the job of managing your expectations or nurture your ego. Don't bring corporate politics to the team, play that game with your bosses not your staff.

      6th be honest, then we will.

      • I’m going to take a stab here.... Spoken like a true engineer. Cynical and sarcastic, yet, holds some truth. The fact is, 1's and 0's only drive projects as far as the Engineers knowledge of the whole picture ie: political misfiring, egocentric management, budget freezes/drops/cuts ect . True end-game vision is required to deliver complex and detailed schedules and generally speaking, 1's and 0's make up a very small portion of the project being delivered on time and budget. If engineers were left to deliver the projects the goal post’s would mover so often that the preverbal umpire would top himself due to confusion. .

      • I'd add a #7:

        7th break huge projects into smaller projects and celebrate the milestones with the team and the customer. There's nothing more discouraging than not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

        August 02, 2012, 2:04PM
      • I do love it when engineers are "blamed" for moving goal posts - Having had the pleasure of working with some "highly qualified business analysts", it is little wonder that the engineers/programmers/or even the pms have to "invent" requirements/solutions to fill gaps in specifications to simply see the project stand a chance of progressing.

        Date and time
        August 02, 2012, 5:03PM
      • JK, the solution is simple. Take your tech lead with you into meetings. They'll be capable of handling a bit of business requirements (that's how they get to where they are).

        They'll comminicate that to the team too, and help you out with requirements. So the politics and budgeting hoo har will be visible to the team - and they will all end up with business focus as a result.

        Don't give them any more tasks than attendance - that will mean you'll only cop about 2 hours of downtime from them a week. I do realise that there is a 'need to know' factor in some projects - but overall they are in the minority (unless you're in a bank!)

        August 02, 2012, 9:46PM
      • Sounds like you have had some pretty poor PM's but having been asked to come in and present about the Project Management discipline I am not surprised at your comments. Good PM's address all your points and funnily enough you are both saying the same thing but in different ways. It ihighlights that the most important skill for a PM is communication, communication and communication. The team are the ones who deliver and it the PM who protects them from the outside world so that they can deliver while also making sure what they deliver is what the client actually wants. Good article and I am not ashamed to say that I am highly likely to be plagerising it in my next presentation to the junior PM/Tech leads.

    • I've been on both sides of project management and never had an issue.. I don't see why people always make mistakes or set deadlines or don't double check things as part of the planning before a contract is even drawn up.

      Allow 120% time, complete it in 80%. that's the way I've always done it. Maybe I've just been lucky and had a good team each time.

      • "Any project manager (PM) can learn to do a Gantt chart"

        Then, pray: why don't they?
        NO!, an Excel spreadsheet with some dates on it is NOT a Gantt chart!

        It's been decades - and dozens of small to large projects - since I've seen a PM show me a proper Gantt chart! You know: the ones with planned AND actual dates, so we can check true progress?

        The ones I've seen in the last 15 years include only planned dates, and "miraculously" get edited with the actual dates as the project progresses. I call that sort of thing a DIARY. But it's not, by any stretch of the imagination, a complete Gantt chart.

        And don't get me started on Pert diagrams: they are simply unknown by the "kewl" PMs we have nowadays...
