Another positive of this technique: from the audience perspective, the experience seems more “personal” and thus more likely to stay with the speaker and engage.

I try to own the least amount of “things” (p.e., utensils/apparel/... that will see limited use/wear, etc.).

My iphone is starting to replace my Kindle after I installed Marvin; I find it super convenient and the reading experience is not so different from reading on the kindle.

Who uses emails these days?

Thing looks like it will fall sideways any second now...

This is what got me “addicted” to evening runs.

Brings me to my days in retail:

I like to prepare to meetings by listing the questions that need an answer before we leave the room.

I second that... watch I’m wearing right now... can’t recommend it enough... best bang for the buck.

I agree; while it’s nice to have full bookcases at display, for avid readers (like my 11-year old daughter), nothing beats the convenience of a Kindle. Best $70 spent (bought it used on Ebay years ago).

Hanging my jeans under the hot summer sun shortly before wearing them on the weekends works great to “refresh” them. I do this with my sneakers too.

Same here; I have a KFHD and a Nexus 7 and use them among other things to listen to internet radio. No contest: the KFHD hast the best speakers.

I meant the glass.

Oh wow, thanks for sharing... glad I stopped by... great story.

Most shocking thing I came to know through FB: a childhood friend I reconnected with after 20+ years was killed by her sick bf (who took his own life afterwards). I thought it was a joke and then I googled it and read the gruesome details in her hometown's newspaper.

I'm in Mexico. I don't know about Spanish rice, but Paella is very popular around here (Spanish Rice = Paella?).

Thanks for the tip... worked just fine for me!

I have an even better idea: email your resume only when a human being asks for it. Uploading resumes is a waste of time.

I find I am most creative in the morning (and while showering) only because I wake up to a blank mind. I'm like a freshly booted computer with all of its RAM free.

When in Rome do as Romans do...I lived three years in this country where cutting lines was normal practice. Think we expats looked like idiots when we got into arguments with the locals. I for my part eventually eased off.
