Nice!
Some kids at the Young Rewired State hack week built their own Marauders Map a few weeks ago, which was pretty cool http://hacks.rewiredstate.org/events/yrs2012/marauder-me

Be respectful, understand that it might be hard to hear your feedback and try and word it in the most direct way possible.
I think i might be missing another thing, but I forget. Those three things will get you far though.
Not sure that I agree with them being in a position 'above' you though. You are both adults. They might have more responsibility than you, but that does not mean that they are 'above' you. I treat every single person in the company I work for as an equal, from the junior consultants to the MD and chairman of the board. I also expect them to treat me the same.
Email is never a good way to have difficult conversations. Too many wires get crossed and meaning is extracted where there was no intent.
It would be nice if there were some guides on the page about how to have these conversations in person. 'Crucial Conversations' is a great starting place http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-Conversations-Tools-Talking-...

It is a shame that the true pioneers of the break were only briefly mentioned. They would be Equinox, Bizzy B, Breakage, Fracture and Neptune, Chris Inperspective et al.
Around 2006 there was a boom in what has become the "choppage" subgenre of drum and bass, revolving around the Scientific Wax, Inperspective, Bassbin and Mu record labels and the Technicality and Bassbin nights run at Herbal in London. It is a shame the R1 programme did not focus on any of this at all as alot of what came out of that pushed the break to it's listenable limits (Breakcore just baffles and confuses me).
If you want a regular dose of Amen, catch Equinox and the Scientific Wax show playing on jungletrain.com every other Sunday. He will draw some of the ruffest badman tunes you'll ever hear. He is one of the worlds most highly regarded connoisseurs of the Amen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRTeToyyYwQ&feature=relat...
Amazing to think that this could now be done in the browser, but surprising that there isn't already a robust Flash based platform for it anywhere yet (well, maybe there is, im noot lazy to find out).
All companies should be based on this.
Well, kinda simple. When having an annual review you must present your personal development plan of what you have achieved in the past year, what you hope to achieve in the next year (and possibly beyond) along with how much of a raise you want. You then have a meeting with a review committee consisting of two normal staff and two directors where you discuss how fair and equitable it is to you and your colleagues, whether it is affordable for the company and whether it would be attractive to a potential new hire hypothetically replacing you. Proposing your own salary makes you really think about what you are worth, and if you want a higher salary can really motivate you into proving that worth and not just being a bum on a chair.
Its a lengthy process but everyone is pretty happy with it (there are few things that getted tweaked everytime soneone has a review but its an ongoing process of improvement). There is no way you can be paid to much or too little as someone on the committee will complain and your proposal wont get signed off. For example, a member of the board had to go back to the committee 4 times until they accepted his proposal, each time honing their salary level and what they will be doing for the company in return.
I'm not sure that opening your books like the article says is the best way to go. Salaries in most places are unbalanced and letting everyone know that would lead to proven disaster. It would be best to try and get them inline before opening them up for the employees to see, although i'm not sure how you would do this. Its just a shame the article make no mention of how great open salaries are.
ps, look up Ricardo Semler and Semco for en example of open salaries on a LARGE scale. Its not just little agencies that this can work for!
People seem to want click stats though, although i dont see why you cant get these out of google analytics etc.

Will have to visit the hacker space next time i get the funds together to visit :)
