Mastery

If you haven’t had the chance to read George Leonard’s Mastery, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. I happened upon the book at the same time I picked up Blueprint to a Billion this summer and really couldn’t have found a better companion book.

Macs are craptastic – iRant

Okay, a few weeks into mac ownership and I officially hate it. This damn machine regularly grinds to a halt with exotic programs like iPhoto open. Folks, this is supposed to make my life easier and I am rueing the day I met Mac.
So far I have crashed iPhoto everytime I’ve opened it. Please note: [...]

During WWII, the Red Cross delivered monopoly sets that contained secret extras like metal files, compasses, silk maps of safe houses and even real Italian, French and German currency under the fake money.

Stereotypes – Blondes

As a strawberry blonde I’ve had my fair share of fair-haired jokes and while most roll right off my back, occasionally I want to pull out my SAT, GMAT, GRE and other various standardized measurements.
