I’m a Canadian in my late 20’s. Nirvana rocked my life as a teenager, 9/11 rocked my life as an adult. I watched those planes hit and those towers fall, with a heavy heart and a troubled mind. I’ve known about America’s flawed foreign policy for many years, as I’ve traveled around the world and [...]
UPDATE: New link to edit Facebook ad settings (requires login, of course). Also, you may or may not see a blog post ‘debunking’ the rumors of Facebook using photos in advertising. They say it was third-party advertisers only and they have ‘fixed’ the problem. [Re: the blog post above - Big thanks to Barry, the [...]
…and I would like to share it with the world. Inquire within.
Here are 6 great people who’ve made selfless contributions to great causes. On behalf of humanity, I’d like to thank: Ted Murphy (@tedmurphy on Twitter) is one crazy CEO! Founder of IZEA and MindComet, Ted likes to take things to a special place when helping those in need. His latest promotion is a contest where [...]
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!
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 [...]
Holding a blogging contest is one way to drive traffic, increase your subscriptions, and generally put out a good vibe amongst ‘your people’. Jason Henderson, of Big Marketing Online, is holding one of the biggest contests I’ve seen (and he claims it is THE biggest blogging contest ever). It’s fairly easy to enter and has [...]
Life not working out as well as you planned? The Man got you down? Define what it is you really want and dedicate yourself to that direction. That’s it. Now go get your D’s on.

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 [...]
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 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? 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
