    Two questions on business Cards.

    MARKETING 
    Not sure it's the right forum for this... 1) What is your philosophy on business cards? Do you think they are just info "carriers", or do you see them as American Psycho's Bateman? 2) Do you know any GOOD online shop for business cards ? And I mean, really good. So far the crap I got sucked.

    The math of wasted time

    3 hours a week is 6 days a year :) Of course I watched those in several years, but the amount of hours is still astounding. But if you start to add up baseball games, soccer games, football games (I don't watch it) and movies the problem becomes even more real. And I am just glad that other...

    The math of wasted time

    ahahha, no the calculations took about 15 minutes thanks to Excel... and the opportunity cost might be advantageous as I will watch way less TV now (21 days in front of a TV... ARGH!) As for the blog... It will make me rich ! lol

    The math of wasted time

    I was calculating the amount of wasted time in front of the TV for the series I watch and post it on my blog. This of course without counting sports, movies, ads etc. and without counting reruns (I watched Seinfeld's "The Contest" at least ten times...) However, here’s a snippet (I apologize...

    {PROGRESS + ACCOUNTABILITY} LAURYN'S RECONSTRUCTION: GETTING TO 50 SHADES OF PAID

    PUBLISHING 
    Be very careful with this strategy. Reviews on free books are harsh, most often than not they give you one star. I can't tell you why, but that's the hard truth. I made the same mistake, next time I will make 'em pay; at least I get some $$$ for their bad reviews.

    Gaming is a waste of time, but I "challenge" you to look back and find something useful that gaming taught you. For example, I used to be a big gamer and by playing graphic adventures (Monkey Island, Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis and many more) I learned English and some...

    Regrets, how do you cope?

    MINDSET 
    thank you for all the replies. Each one carries a strong message. I hereby promise - to myself - to live in the present. Today, the past is just a theoretical lesson. It will take time and training, but I will have to do it.

    Regrets, how do you cope?

    MINDSET 
    How do you get over regrets? Regrets are probably my biggest hurdle; yes I tend to live on the past and I am trying to figure out how to get out of such mindset and looking brightly at the future, but sometimes it ain’t easy!

    My opinion, so don't get offended. Not really a good plan. Sw/hw dev/design jobs are moving to Asia quicker than Americans and Europeans realize due to costs and speed. I can assure you that even softwares that fall under ITAR and/or MIL specs have good portions coded in Asia. Tech field is very...

    A pulp writer's tidal wave

    More a general update rather than a "publishing" one. Finances: Hurrah! Two credit cards out of three are now paid in full. Reduced monthly expenses by changing electricity and internet provider, cut off satellite TV. I might remove Netflix and just keep Hulu (with kids you need some TV...

    You have no experience or schooling, what do you do?

    MINDSET 
    I would opt for some rum. To the OP: you can get education for free, on the net or at the library. No need to pay for a degree (which is NOT the same as "education").

    What the f*ck are they saying

    HOT! 
    AD means Anno Domini, correct, which is "Year of the Lord". The AD starts at year 1 (there is no zero, that is why the 3rd millennium started in 2001 and not 2000), which is the birth of Christ. The age of Christ starts at his birth, not at his crucifixion. From a religious point of view, Christ...

    My 8yo kid was sent to the principal's office because after finishing his work he dared to read a book instead of staring at the wall.
