The best trick I know is one I stole from Ernest Hemingway, that is to always stop working when you're doing good, and don't think or worry about your work until you start again the next day.

Another good source of information is Ross Emanait @ rosstraining.com. His plan is geared more toward boxing and other combat sports, which I just always found more fun. E.g. throwing a heavy sand bag around as if you were getting ready to

Harlan County U.S.A and Hoop Dreams are pretty much mandatory viewing. For a laugh, I quite enjoyed Monster Camp.

I think making the sliders a bit larger and centered on the page would help, and though I do like "cloudorado", it's a bit hard to spell. Maybe playing around with misspellings like "clouddorado" or abbreviations like "cloudr" could work.

Oh, while you're at home depot, get yourself a little cart to serve as a ghetto dolly, and don't forget to buy a tripod. You can fake a good steadycam with these two, but you should always use a tripod. Oh, and add "Guerilla filmmaking" by

The best book on video editing, bar none, is Walter Murch's "In the Blink of an Eye" so, get that and read it like 20 times. Then get yourself a copy of FCP and use export for web. To shoot good video, the choice of camera (at least, prosum

#8: A gadget to cook beans/lentils/vegetables/rice for the same amount of time (quicker than what can be done in a slow cooker.) Ah dang, I was just about to re-invent the microwave too!

Why almost as a last resort? And, are you aware of what a weasel word is?

This usually just means that your taste has grown more refined and you no longer find the culling upsetting. Just keep doing what you're doing until you hook the big one.

I'd start by really looking at that list and start scratching off the bad ones. You can probably get down to about 5 or 6 in a few minutes. Then get down a shitty first draft of each one and figure out which one people seem to like the mos

I hope, for my own good, you're right. I gotta pay student loans on the 15th, and can't find anyone doing anything other than social networking games to take people's money, "sexy" data-mining to take people's money, or mobile fads to take

I wish I knew. I have yet to see anything like it outside of Austin. The Alamo nailed the best way to run a theater, really.

I don't think the word innovative should apply anymore to social networking games, to-do lists, or rounded corners.

I wouldn't do it unless my webapp made at least $0.25 a month (but I've been accused of hastiness before).

No offense, but I actually picked Ruby because everyone just seemed so damned excited all the time, gushing over the latest Rails release or coming up with weird names for gems, and when you're knee-deep in bug-infested legacy code or bangi

I understand if you don't want to share, but what was the reason behind you and your girlfriends break-up? Is it possible that it has something to do with the way you feel now?
