I wonder if there could be a model where an author releases a "beta" version of their book at a cheaper price and then "fixes" suggested by readers are then released for free to those who bought the original. A kind of group editing. A late

I found the whole stage event engaging (every speaker held my attention). Took me a little while to decode the color stripes on everyone's name-tags (my own olive stripe seemed to represent something to do with databases), but at least it g

It is amusing how we hackers, who are supposed to embrace change, become as Luddite as anyone else when our sacred tools are questioned. Personally I see room for this and a whole lot more. I'd like to see an amalgam of this and the traditi

When I stayed in a zen monastery a while back, I averaged 6 hours of sleep a night, and always felt refreshed, but out in the regular world, even with daily meditation, I need about 8 hours of sleep. So I think that the environment and medi

I've been there. Just know that this too will end. Take some quiet time out and use your analytical brain to think outside the box. I did that and found a way to manage my debt so that I didn't feel crushed by it (closed all credit cards, a

You're certainly correct there, but they only value "firefighting" for a brief moment too. Unless you've been firefighting directly for upper management - they'll forget, or not even know of your effort shortly after it happens. You're only

I do 2: Tai-Chi for breathing and balance, and kickboxing for cardio (I just do the training, no sparring). My advise is to do something local (close to home), that involves other people; there's more chance that you'll stick with it (IMHO)
