Just listen to the authors on the You Are Not SO Smart podcast. My favorite quote of theirs is: you can’t control the results; you can only control how much you try.

The few long distance train rides I’ve taken, the chairs are similar to the airlines but with more space and comfort. And they have a snack car (which serves alcohol) and a diner car. However, most of the time, the train is only traveling around 55-60 mph. So you really have to be the type of person who enjoys the…

I wonder how much of this was aimed at business and how much at academia. I work for a university and I see many more Surfaces than iPads in the classrooms. Some of that was from not being able to get Powerpoint, but previously not being able to multitask and watch surf the web while still having your professors ppt…

I’m a pay it off every month kind of guy and had a rewards Capitol One card for a fee. Well, they removed the rewards part but kept the fee. When I called to ask to get that dropped as well, they told me they had “no other products available.” If you hold more debt with a credit card company, they are actually more…

Take a few minutes and read the full article. It's well worth it.

Just take precautions. Bed bugs like to hang out in old furniture, which is why you shouldn't pick up a couch from the side of the road and plop it into your living room.

Might I suggest another metric: populated, bad (or at least more difficult to start a business); unpopulated, we don't give a flip what you do.

Actually there is research that the 10,000 holds very little water.

If one must carry around a book on Eastern philosophy, the Tao Te Ching is a much better way to go.

I gotta say... splitting wood is a rush. When you swing that axe down, and hear the crack, then what was previously a single piece of wood goes flying in two directions... for a brief moment you are the master of your domain.

Those noodle are also very high in calories (the serving size on all the nutrition labels I have seen for ramen style noodles are one-half the package.) Air dried noodles are a bit better in terms of calories are not bad tasting if you can find them at an Asian market.

Avoiding the whole BBQ debate, I would say that if you are in Oklahoma, try the biscuits and sausage gravy if you get a chance.

Of course, if you are going to do that, you could just make Alton Brown's flower pot smoker, but it would look as manly on your back deck.

Awesome... I can already hear this study making it's way through corporations everywhere. Have a mediocre restaurant or product... let's gin up a long wait line so people will be happier with it.

Getting to sleep has never been my problem. Waking up at 4:30 am is.

For video production folks... B and H Photo Video has the Black Magic Pocket Camcorder for $495 today. $500 off. It's a nice little video camera that uses Micro Four Third lens. You do have to have very fast SD cards

I have one of those rabbits too.

A lot of time, State Troopers or county officers in the "middle states" are just looking for kids with drugs, so I think a lot "speeding but I'll just give you a warning" is an excuse to stop and search.

I picked up a pair of the Monoprice ones, and the fit did not work for me. Part of the problem is the weight. If I'm being active, they tend to fall out of my ear.

Always communicate. If it takes talking a pre-nup for you and your future spouse to discuss hard things like what's mine and what's yours, then fine. But many of us have simply decided to always be together and to take what life throws at you. For those like us, divorce must always be more painful then staying…
