Check out the amazing work Yihui Xie and other R-luminati have done with R's version of markdown and the package "blogdown". Plenty of academic examples around and can get up and running quickly, securely, and for free if yo

Spend any time in HK taxis with a driver who quickly trusts you (a foreigner) and the phrase "never forget" comes to mind. They are afraid.

Fascinating the first image that pops into my mind is the building of US railroads and what a bad rap American business owners get for using slave labor. I don't know much about the period but wonder if one man's slave laborer is

If you are ever in Minneapolis, the Bakken Museum near Lake Calhoun is a great way to spend an afternoon. Various versions of the early devices are on display and the garden out back is beautiful. Then you can take a slow 3 mile stroll ar

I venture there is huge money in a sweet path from latex resumes in pdf format to ms word. I want to offer my clients a basic template but if I choose the latex route, I will inevitably have requests for the latter no matter how lame the f

Try different hobbies you never imagined yourself doing. Even a few classes can bring on that cerebral "tingle-y" feeling and you will see yourself in a different light. You may not love them all but you make take to one and fin

Finally people are waking up to what I have been telling friends and family. If you don't say "no" to the financial heroin dealers, you will become a slave.

Yours is a really beautiful gesture. It is rather remarkable how fragile we widowed people are around the birthdays and death anniversaries. I lost my wife 4 years ago at 37 years old to a rare cancer. Even though I plunge myself into wo

The problem is many employers and headhunters demand MS Word. As a professional resume writer, I love the output of LaTeX which I use with rmarkdown and want to offer a cheap, easy way for DIYers to do their own. Inevitably, I will be aske

Get out while you can. You were brought on as a checkbox on someone's list, either a BoD, external investors, someone's due diligence. You'll have little to no impact with your domain expertise sadly. I have seen a few tim

This 1000%. My wife and I came from families which did not know how to fight fairly. When we first started dating, our fights would last 3 days, then 2, then 1, then a few hours, then maybe 1 hour. I am proud of the progress we made and h

Oh, as a professional resume writer I agree with most of this. That having been said, there is an emerging place for "second pass" apps to deliver a short video before wasting the time for a full interview. I am grubbing around

Separately he gives good evidence of what an A-hole and tyrant Steve Jobs was. Most won't talk about it out of politeness or concerns for their network. Having worked for a psycho at one time, you know how others shade their language w

Because they are paid for their warrior spirit, slash and burn until everything is leaner than lean and stock price is 20% higher. If org blows up, they still walk away with FU money, the new American dream.
