I agree completely. I mean I get for some people it might make sense if you are a very focused individual who stays on message in both personal and professional life. But for anyone who has broad interests.. I just think that personal branding pigeonholes you too much.

sigh.. and my hometown team.. picked Texans. :(

YA!! Another convert to masters swimming. Seriously though.. I can’t train unless I am signed up to a meet/competition or going to actual masters practices. If I am swimming laps to stay in shape.. I get bored after 10min and can never push my pace to anything moderately challenging.

Love wunderlist. I was pro for last 2 years but just went back to free cause I wasn’t really using any of the pro features.

Will anyone buy it? Oh..about 1 million uberX drivers.

I really like evernote but the recent news has got me pretty worried that they won’t be around for long. Are they a takeover candidate for anyone?

Alpha Centauri (or the Civ games.. depending on my mood).

Agree. When I lived in Chicago.. easy to get by with the 30% rule. Then I moved to London. 30% of my income.. I would either live in a shoebox or have to commute 2 hours into town.

Sour patch kids.. nom nom nom.

Definitely good sentiment. Its the smart choice but a hard choice. Sometimes its such a punch in the gut. We try to ride the line between what we will regret more. Especially with events. This year we have invites to 5 out of country weddings. We will be lucky to make 1 without going into debt.

This is madness. But weirdly I want and not want one. Like my wife and I have a crap ton of stuffed animals and a couple are dog ones that are same breed as our deceased pets but thats it. This is a step farther.

As someone who works in investment banking, school definitely has a factor. More specifically, it has to do with the Business school’s outreach to alumni. A lot of the ivys’ and big name publics (Michigan, etc) have a huge alumni machine that works with all the big banks. Basically you have to get on the short list of…

I am a bit skeptical. I work in finance and specifically natural resources project finance advisory. Just looking for project finance or natural resources or even mining finance, it seemed the quality of these groups are really low and mostly student groups. Even linkedin is hit & miss with most of the groups being…

yeah, I feel for him. I started with an EU account but am now grinding my way through NA so I can play my brother back home.

I know.. I liked my boom bots.. it’ll be interesting if the meta gets diverse or it just goes in cycles of each season having its own Dr
