Reason one: battery life. I like having tunes all day long, and I don’t want to lose my ability to text and call because of listening to music.

I feel like judging people for using Macs is now more pretentious than actually using macs.

I ought to be able to finish paying my loans within the next 3 years, and then I should be up to putting $800 in savings a month, which is around that 10k a year. The question is, should I do anything besides keeping it liquid in savings.

Now how exactly do I start this passive income? How do I turn, say, 10k in cash into something that makes me money regularly, and how much could I expect each month from that amount?

I would think an 8k iMac would be fantastic... if it’s something like a 32” new sized imac. But on the current 27”, just seems silly. Unless I’m missing something where the difference in manufacturing means no real cost increase, but I’m doubting that.

Am I the only one who has no idea what to do with all this cloud storage? I have so much space between Dropbox and OneDrive and Google Drive and whatever, but I'm using like 5% of each service.

The easiest option is to instead of starting with such a large piece, use smaller pieces and lay out a square, lincoln log style; two logs down, then two on top going the opposite way, then two more. This leaves room for ventilation while protecting the inner core from too much wind.

I was very much on the fence between the air and the lenovo yoga 2 pro, but given that I could get an air for 400 less, it's a no question.

"If Notational Velocity is too much for you, consider the lighter alternative, NVAlt, which includes tons of additional features. "

I'm so dang impressed at his ability to change tempo between these. It's hard enough to play such ear worm licks and then alternate between them like this, but changing tempo too? dang.

Cuaron was included at the video, in the honorable mentions.

Seriously. the first complaint is that there is a stylistic intro that fits with the other movies? dumb

I really liked Hyperion, but I think the book is probably difficult to get into if you aren't into extremely hard sci fi and post humanism ideas and long term sociology, as well as the action scenes getting progressively less and less rewarding.

I haven't been able to pull it off either. V. was great, and I've read a decent amount of Stephenson as well (although I quit 150 pages into the BCT), but man Gravity's Rainbow is beyond me. What's funny is I even enjoyed the 200 pages or so that I read, but at that point the sheer weight of the book was too much and…
