How to Find What You Love to Do: "I know there are so many people who ask themselves a question: “What do I really love to do?”. And trust me, this question is a million dollar question - and it is tough. Once you have this answer, you will be more satisfied with the work you have done and actually enjoyed it in the process. Brian Kim has shared his useful insight on getting this answer from your deep end of your heart:
…
Step 1: You WILL find the answer. No doubt.
You will find the answer. You will find it. No doubt.
Approach the question with this mentality and you are sure to find it. How long will it take? It doesn’t matter. Bottom line, you will find the answer.
By doing this, you automatically instill an anti quitting mechanism within yourself, because you know you will find the answer. If you know what you want to do, then you will do it.
For example, if you know you want to arrive in New York, "

Spirit of St. Louis CD Boombox
Spirit of St. Louis CD Boombox: "
When closed, it looks like any ordinary wooden box. Open it up and you will be greeted by a control panel that resembles a battlefield commander's radio from World War II. A polished oak chest keeps the interior safe from bumps and knocks. Features include a built-in AM/FM radio, a programmable CD player, a cassette deck (who listens to those these days anyway), twin speakers, and a headphone jack. Its aesthetics is enhanced with the presence of chrome corner guards and latches. The Spirit of St. Louis CD Boombox costs £299.99 and is powered by 8 D batteries.

Wooden stool for notebook and user
Wooden stool for notebook and user: "
And we thought that stools were the sacred domain of your tush, apparently Konstantin Grcic thinks otherwise by designing a beechwood stool that supports both your notebooks and derriere simultaneously. It does not come with any backrest and it looks as if prolonged use could lead you to a lifetime phobia of wooden stools. This is one furniture that will definitely raise an eyebrow or two, but it loses out on practicality.

How to Escape from a Bear
How to Escape from a Bear: "Bears are among nature’s most majestic creatures, and seeing one in the wild is an unforgettable experience. Get too close, however, and your encounter with a bear can be more terrifying than awe-inspiring. Fortunately, despite humans’ continued encroachment into “bear country,' attacks on people are rare, and fatalities are even rarer. Still, bears are immense, powerful wild animals, and any meeting between bears and humans can potentially turn deadly. Do you know what to do if you find yourself face to face with a bear? Read on, and hike safely."

Funny 1965 anti-pornography educational film
Funny 1965 anti-pornography educational film: "Mark Frauenfelder: Perversion for Profit is a 1965 anti-pornography educational film produced by the 'Citizens for Decent Literature.' It has all the delightfully hokey elements of educational films of the era, including a lush, dramatic orchestral soundtrack, and a wooden white male authority figure who delivers the facts in grave tones.
A flood-tide of filth is engulfing our country in the form of newsstand obscenity. It is threatening to pervert an entire generation of our American children. We know that once a person is perverted, it is practically impossible for the person to adjust to normal attitudes in regards to sex.

Reader comment:
That's not just any old 'wooden, white male authority figure'... That's George Putnam! Putnam is one of LA's grand old newsmen, still doing commentaries after 72 years in the business. LA TV viewers remember Putnam from the 70s show, 'Talkback'- a wild talk show that commented on current events. Like Joe Pine and Wally George, Putnam really k"

How to present to Investors
How to present to Investors: "Many hackers want to get funding from angels or VC with their ideas - but chances are it is pretty hard to know what to present about. Paul Graham, an investor, has written a good piece of advice on how to present in front of investors. Advices range from what to present - how to speak well - specific elements that can give investors a good information and impressions:
Explain what you’re doing.
Get rapidly to demo.
Better a narrow description than a vague one.
Don’t talk and drive.
Don’t talk about secondary matters at length.
Don’t get too deeply into business models.
Talk slowly and clearly at the audience.
Have one person talk.
Seem confident.
Don’t try to seem more than you are.
Don’t put too many words on slides.
Specific numbers are good.
Tell stories about users.
Make a soundbite stick in their heads.
