Anyone interested in a reflective moment? No? Too bad it’s my site! Watch (and listen to) this short animation inspired by Alan Watts. Bet you can’t guess who produced it!

Think Like…a Website?
If you spend any time in the blogosphere, you’ll notice people getting new blog themes, new designs, and whatever other new-improved blah blah blah you can find. I noticed something about this wave of new designs… …they look like websites! Yes, I know blogs ARE websites. What I mean is they have evolved to a [...]
Big Jason vs. John Chow
Holding a blogging contest is one way to drive traffic, increase your subscriptions, and generally put out a good vibe amongst ‘your people’.

My Guide to the Undiscovered Mind
Sometimes it takes me days to snap out of it. One time, it even took a whole year. I wake in the morning, midmorning really, and find myself unsure of why I continue. Food is on my mind, hunger down below. I step outside my box, I breathe the air. The sun feels good, although [...]
Elitist Bastard: Defined
An elitist bastard is someone who discovers something cool, unique or helpful before the mainstream does. Elitist bastards pride themselves in discovering these great things, and love to brag about how they know about stuff that most people don’t know about. An elitist bastard often has self-esteem issues that prevent them from feeling good about [...]
You Cannot See Past the Choices You Do Not Understand
You don’t like your job and everything you’ve applied for has come up nil. What can you do to change that? Things like location, resume, cover letter, skills, credentials, social network, scope of search and the presentation of all of the above affect this. Consider each and what it might mean to you. Feeling like [...]
So, You Don’t Like Your Job?
So, you don’t like your job? That’s very uncommon. Most people do. Haha. Understand what it is: money, ‘credentials’, validation (a little or a lot), opportunity. Money: helps with your basic survival and luxuries (however large or small they may be). Credentials: could mean you can get that next job easier, it could mean you [...]
So I Said to Her
Your positive growth will begin with this: believing in the fact that you can change, you can better yourself and that there is a better future ahead for you… …the future you want (or at least close to it)! You must believe that you can do better and you can fix things. If you do [...]
The Art of Understanding
I seek to understand. All my life I’ve been trying to understand. Everything. I’ve been trying to understand simple things like radios and walkmans and more complex things, like relationships and human behaviour in general. In most situations, I don’t follow the normal route of action or reaction, because I want to understand its insides [...]
John Chow Helps You See Better
Say again? John Chow is giving away a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor. LCD monitors are much easier on your eyes when compared to CRT monitors. As well, the larger screen size means you don’t have to lean in so close to read! My eyes aren’t so good as it is, so winning this monitor [...]
Why You Rarely Speak the Truth
I think the answer may lie in your inability to distinguish the true emotions from the false emotions. (I’m not accusing you of anything, merely speculating.) Of course, both are real responses, but the fundamentals of each are very different. For example: a basic emotion such as fear can exist, without prejudice. The emotion exists, [...]
Your Conscious Mind vs. Your Subconscious Mind
Your subconscious mind allows you to live freely. It allows you to feel like there is something wonderful going on. It is your unencumbered thought and imagination. Your conscious mind acts as your security, your monitor, your public relations person. Things you are good at, passionate about, they become harder to get to as your [...]
Imagination vs. Intelligence, and The Young Conscious Mind
When we are children we have open minds. Our minds are impressionable and limitless. That magical feeling you got when you watched science fiction (believing it could be real) or Peter Pan, flying (knowing you could do it with some practice) is the young conscious mind at work. The young conscious mind is not-so set [...]
Learn to Think Like They Do at Think Like Them dot Com!
The human race has accomplished so much compared to what it typically agrees it can accomplish. The general consensus is that we can accomplish ‘only so much’ and that we are limited. Who are these anomalies in life, these people who exceedingly surpass all typical human beliefs while moving our entire world forward? What was [...]
