That’s right. A break. I’m off on vacation for a week. A whole week.  But don’t worry. I’m not going to leave you without things to think about. In my absence, I refer you to the following blogs to keep the mind moving and the ideas coming.

SystematicHR – A comprehensive and compelling blog centered on HR technology but free roaming around all sorts of issues that affect HR practitioners. One of the best around, period – from a guy who knows what he’s talking about. 

HR’s Brand New Experience – Regina covers some of the softer issues in HR, with consistently insightful stuff that has you clicking the subscribe button about 2 seconds after the site loads in your browser.

The Human Capitalist – Jason Corsello of The Yankee Group is one of the most respected analysts in the space. This is his personal blog, so you can find pictures of his dog alongside thoughts penned by one of the guys finding clarity in the ever-changing and sometimes confusing world of performance and talent management.

Software as Services – An unabashed advocate of SaaS, Phil Wainewright highlights some of the obvious (and not so obvious) things to know about Software as a Service and notes the hottest news in the space.

Presentation Zen – We all have to do them, so why not spend some time thinking about new ways of making your stuff pop! Presentation Zen inspires and focuses as it entertains.

Bona tempora volvantur by Guy Kawasaki – After just a few months blogging, he’s already considered one of the most popular bloggers around. The well known venture investor and author brings fresh ideas and perspectives to all kinds of business and workplace issues with his trademark writing style and incisive wit.

You can also take a click-walk through the blogroll on the right, mess around with the poll on the left, and don’t forget the archives. Have a great week!

Enjoy, and I’ll see you soon,
Max
