And perhaps the best advice of all: Get the HELL out of the tech sector!! Now!!! Before it's too late!! You can still be a techie working in the food, hospitality, or best of all, health industries. As someone who was just laid off yesterday (3rd time in 3 years, all related to company misfortunes; not personal…

Actually, this project has inspired me to contribute one of my own: How to make your own suspenders with a several paper clips and a couple of hefty rubber bands.

Lively? Haven't heard of it. Is it too late to sign up??

@Lazarus: yes, and then the photo goes up on match.com.

If you want to look relaxed in your photos, make sure its taken about 3 seconds after orgasm. The trick is in getting your partner to allow a camera in bed with you. (Important Safety Tip: Don't snap the photo too early; you may not like the results!)

Since I suck at math (and since necessity is the mother of invention), I'm going to invent a breathalizer with a USB connection. If you're above the limit, no email, Charlie!

@BhavBhavBhav: C'mon, man...I just ate.

@rob_belics: That a great idea! I'm looking forward to your DIY article on building your own shoe-box shoes. I think you've got a hit on your hands ;-)

@The_Red_Monkey: I think the correct state of mind now is to be very, very concerned, although I disagree with your statement that people are blowing this out of proportion. The U.S. is the Titanic and we just hit an iceberg 5 minutes ago. At the moment, things aren't so bad: The ship is 99% afloat, there are…

Perhaps in a few thousand years—when dogs evolve in their intelligence to equal that of today's cats—they too will be able to poop in a litter box and this project will become even more relevant ;-)

@homerjay: There are no reasons not to have cats; only reasons not to have children.

@MightyJoe36: Your post basically just defined me, as well. I have printed it out as a source of comfort so that I know I am not alone. Though there are some sad overtones, I am an optimist and believe we do have a certain degree of control over our destiny. No, you cannot become an astronaut but maybe you can find…

I have this pretty cool hack that allows me to actually remove a screw using the edge of a dime. (Warning: This does NOT work with phillips screw heads.) Email me if you'd like me to post the instructions.

From a productivity perspective, Merlin Mann should hear about this: Increase your wi-fi and prepare spaghetti at the same time. I love to multi-task!
