He's my favorite author, and I got the chance to get this advice from him in person. Catapulted me to find some real if minor success as a writer.

I think the trick is to just ask. Your dream employer probably won't publicize a lot of its available jobs, so send an email that indicates that you can do something to help them. I replied to my favorite comic news site's call for reporters at a convention I was going to. I answered it, got accepted and did more than…

The Logitech M510 is the first decent mouse I've ever purchased, and I love it. I can't think of anything else I need a mouse to do.

This is great. Another tip would be to store more media in the cloud and use an app to download different albums, videos, pictures, etc. on to your iPhone when you're space-restricted.

GIF is an acronym. Who gets to decide how it gets pronounced?

I like a lot of this, but he's completely dismissing things like cognitive behavioral therapy. There are plenty of people unhappy BECAUSE all they're doing is pursuing goals, not doing enough of what makes them happy.
