    Requesting some engineering brainpower. Solve this for me!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Y'all are a bunch of smart, creative super nerds. @SteveO Someone can figure this out without designing me a Rube Goldberg thingy. Now that we're living in rural Virginia, these are the kinds of projects I can't help doing. My girls and I just finished building an air cannon earlier this...

    Asking Finance Gurus How To Get Rich During The Recession

    INVESTING 
    I don't much time watching stuff like this, but it's entertaining every once in awhile. The only thing I learned about getting rich during a recession is you should become a famous YouTuber telling people what to do with the money they don't have because they aren't already a famous YouTuber...

    Huh. It turns out that a "golden pizza" is exactly what I was afraid it might be. Ugh. Double ugh.

    I also love the burrito vs. buying gas decision. Wow - you went BACK to college in your late twenties?!? After having a corporate job?!?

    Easily my favorite part of your post. I love when universes slide into each other. Pretty much everyone believes what you described happening was a miraculous winning lottery ticket. A handful of people understand it's an intentional decision. Might not be conscious, but definitely intentional...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    That's always been my definition of pro athletes vs. amateur athletes. No one shows up for every game of a career thrilled to spend every single minute playing that night, much less every practice session. You do the same job whether you feel like it or not.

    Hey, where did you find the damn ebook?!? I want a searchable copy and haven't found it. The searches always end in a physical book.

    It seems like every few years I hear about another Japanese discipline that would actually be helpful for life fulfillment. Zen Buddhism, Keiretsu, Kaizen, Kanban, Kendo, Dai-ichi, Bonsai, Chado. And now Ikigai. I was born in the right country to become wealthy and born in the wrong country to...

    In a couple of weeks, I'm heading to what feels like the 432nd appointment over nine years for my back injury. Hope springs eternal. At the moment, I'm banking on nanobots and hypnotherapy as viable options.

    Hmmm.... Y'know, I've met a few hundred self-made wealthy people over the years. Mostly tech founders, angel investors and real estate investors. Lots of small business owners, but they rarely become financially independent. Wrong mindset. A hefty chunk of the people with real money (the "I...

    Now I'm going to come play your course and saddle you with my 25+ handicap. Good news is that I'm entertaining, prefer to walk over carting and am perfectly fine with picking up the ball.

    Honestly, you just sound seriously unmotivated. Bored, lazy, depressed, cynical - pick your own synonym. What do you do for fun? Y'know, shit that pumps you up and doesn't have to be measured and monetized?

    The entire point of building a business is supporting the life you want to live. No, I didn't wake up crack happy every single morning of every single year for the past decade. That would be a naive wasteful fantasy that pretends life is a scripted Hollywood film with a perpetual happy ending...

    Is there an electronic version of the book that's searchable? PDF or Kindle? Without an index, it often take awhile to find stuff that I want to read through again.

    Acting As If: How to fake it until you become it with Greig Clark, College Pro Painters I've only heard of College Pro Painters because Kimbal Musk (Elon's older brother) ran a franchise the summer before the brothers founded Zip2 which was sold to Compaq for a $300M dollars. This is a great...

    Working at an IT shop, About to start my own VOIP biz, Boss wants it under his umbrella? Any upside?

    QUESTION 
    Could you clarify the acronyms along with a sentence about what it means in regular English? I'm guessing MSP/IT means managed service provider, but would like to be sure. VoIP usually means digital phone lines or systems. Y'know, not completely disagreeing with you, but I've come to doubt the...

    Working at an IT shop, About to start my own VOIP biz, Boss wants it under his umbrella? Any upside?

    QUESTION 
    That's an easy one. No. Zero. Nada. Employment and entrepreneurship can't exist under an employer. Much less one using an employment contract. The thing to understand about legal agreements is always "What are the repercussions of breaking the agreement?" It doesn't matter at all what the...
