I've found many of these new-age / self-help systems to be a really hyper-minimal Zen Buddhism. Don't take that as a discount, but I enjoy one of them immensely: Gangaji [1] She has the worlds most breathe-y voice. I love it, her basic mess

Hahaha. I love the idea of Wall Street jocks vs. Internet Nerds in FOREX. I can just imagine some lower Manhattan hedge fund guy shorting Bitcoins just because he's got 100k in fun money.

Agree with this. While the steps Thunderbolt is going is great, it's still too much money for what it doesn't deliver. I'd love to have a TB attached SAN for my Macbook Pro, but what I need is usually sufficed by FireWire 800* or USB 2.0 ex

True, I thought of it as "cute" and used it to send big WAV files and such between artist friends when collaborating on a project. Really made it easier than walking someone on how to FTP onto my colo webhost. Then the entire Corp Comms dep

You have ushers at certain gates with scanners, only people with tickets that are allowed in that section. You can allow multiple gates nearby, but most stadiums are setup that there's really only one/two entrances to your section. You can'

Here's what I'd do if I were you and were really backed into a corner with no support: 1) Get a job at a call center, this will suck but you can at least pay for rent off of this. 2) Make flyers and/or find a place that will hire you on to

I can't believe (well, if you're desperate, a nice big celebrity CEO makes a good splash) they would turn their brand into this. JCPenney's whole method, and all mall retail, is the sales prices and coupons for rewards. I must get a mailing
