eveglassNo videos today, unlike the last several. Sorry!
1. The things he carried -- reading this article reminds me how useless most airport security measures are. If you're a "smart terrorist," there are zillions of ways to get around them. This articles shows how some people (not terrorists) did it.
2. When networking doesn't work: there's no value in just "touching base" -- the crux of the issue: interactions need to contain value.
3. Are you living a significant life? -- I like the checklist towards the bottom of the post.
4. Masters of food art (pictures) -- I lied. There's a 3-minute video embedded. But go for the pictures. This stuff is awesome. Really cool pictures using food as the primary ingredient.
5. Why "Stayin' Alive" could literally save your life: Disco song has perfect rhythm to jump-start a heart, says doctor -- I only post this because Marc told me the same thing last week. Apparently "Stayin' Alive" has the perfect rhythm to do CPR.
6. 9 tricks for getting a table and being a VIP at hot restaurants -- some of these require guts, but none of them are hard. No word on whether they worked for me, since I don't tend to go to restaurants that have long lines.
7. Unlearned skills -- by Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame). While I'm sure people could poke holes into his arguments, I really l like his proposed curriculum based around building a house.
