[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

This is a great new cut of a great band. LIsten and buy - support good music friends.

Finishline - Fanfarlo

I am head over heels for this band. They are selling their entire new album “Reservoir” for $1 until July 1st. If you like this song you’ll want this album.

Inspired by the latest @Trendero tweet

Daily Discovery: Oh, dear, is the shoulder-mounted boombox coming back? Some sightings in San Francisco…: http://ow.ly/epsD

I thought a bit of popping & locking might suit you today.

Please don't be shy

“If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants” - Isaac Newton

I have made it thus far because of the graciousness of friends, family, teachers and complete strangers to reach out a hand once and a while and lift me up over the course of my life. I cannot thank them enough and I do appreciate it. The only way I can ‘pay-it-back’ is by trying to help others if I can. Bijan’s post today could not have come at a better time time as I am in the midst of composing an email to him right now. :)

bijan:

My friend Brad Feld wrote a helpful & constructive post recently, “Preparing For a First Meeting With Me”.

There is a lot of good stuff there.

I only have one thing to add.

Please don’t be shy.

I end up in more meetings than I would like with someone only to find out weeks later that they really wanted to ask me for help with a new job and never told me. Or they really need to raise a round but they didn’t want to look desperate or something.

Just tell me if you hate your job or if you need funding for your company or if you don’t know what you are doing or if you need to vent or if you are down or if you are pumped. Or whatever.

I can be much more helpful that way. And we’ll have a much better meeting.

Help me, help you :)

“ She added, “Ultimately, it came down to my feeling that, number one, when your president asks you to do something for your country, you really need a good reason not to do it. Number two, if I had won and I had asked him to please help me serve our country, I would have hoped he would say yes. And finally, I looked around our world and I thought, you know, we are in just so many deep holes that everybody had better grab a shovel and start digging out. „

Hillary Clinton speaking about how she initially denied the role of Sec. of State and why she decided to say yes.

I am happy to have her working on our behalf

This is a great post for my fellow MBA graduates who are seeking jobs or their fortunes or the next step in their careers. While this is written for people looking to find employment in restaurants - it applies to everyone in this day and age.

This is amazing - the bike is an extension of his body. In the day and age of awesome CGI, you keep wondering if this is real or not - but it is real - and it is superhuman. I love watching things like this - it really makes you question your mental models of how things are done.
