Wanna Be a Great Entrepreneur? Buy a Hat Rack!
The whole “work hours” thing is a foreign concept to me. Maybe because I just don’t make a distinction between work and play, or (most likely) I just always work. Sometimes I wake up and start work at 2am. Sometimes I just don’t ever go to sleep and take a nap in the middle [...]
I Don’t Use Beds
One interesting fact about is me that I don’t sleep on beds. Since 2003, I haven’t slept on a bed. I started this practice while studying spider monkeys in the yucatan jungle of Mexico. Obviously, we slept in tents in the yucatan and there were no mattress beds in the tents — just the refreshingly [...]
2009 POP Suite Upgrades!
There were some problems with the 2008 Code. 2009 Organizational code of computer and household files has greatly improved so that all computer files are primarily all mobile accessible from ANY mobile phone, laptop, and/or desktop.

Wondered what criteria people [...]
Getting And Staying Organized with UMSD

ON MY GMAIL ACCOUNT I HAVE exactly 8700 messages, including “sent”. Nearly 9000 messages! Nine Thousand!!!! That’s unfathomable. Could you imagine just reading 1000 emails? Yeah, now multiple that by nine! I also have a couple thousand on my local hd of mail.app. Email is a MASSIVE [...]
No Advice Please!
In my years I’ve given and received a lot of advice. Sometimes I’ve lucidly expressed and shared wisdom or my own or received brilliant tokens of wise suggestions from others. However, not until recently did I start to scrutinize the Value (or lack-thereof) of the advice I received from others. Upon this scrutiny, [...]
