The Four Agreements
In his book, “The Four Agreements,” Don Miguel Ruiz says…“There are thousands of agreements you have made with yourself, with other people, with your dream life, with God, with society, with your parents, with your spouse, with your children.

Take over my 2009 AWD Toyota Highlander lease in...
via swapalease.com Not much strategy here. Just looking to dump my car lease. Ad-wise I think we’re just looking for some WOM and maybe geo-targeted adwords, if needed. I’m also throwing in a month’s payment to sweeten the pot so that should help. You should know there are 28 months left on this lease @ 12k mileage per year. Here are the details: ...

A couple of reactions here on multiple levels for me: 1) the fact that Google has built it’s brand without traditional advertising and is now making its first foray into the most traditional of traditional.

Marriage Fail
So I’ve been off for a few weeks - wife is filing for a divorce. I just got back from a first visit to my lawyer who spent 1 hour telling me how screwed I was financially. It cost me $600 to tell me this, ironically. All I know from the end of all this is this: Marriage is a bad deal for men. Truly the quickest way to commit financial hari kari is to get married, let your lazy wife get...

Poker is a game of incomplete information. Most people think that this and its random nature make it at its core a game of luck. But in actuality poker is a game not just of luck, but of psychology and statistics, because if you know the odds of hitting your next card, and you understand the body language and psychology of your opponent, then over the course of time, you should win more pots than...

philosophically speaking
admittedly i’m not one to be on the right side of social media.
rather, i’d prefer to remain firmly on the left.
social media, as it were
the social is what we need to right size here. the listening, sharing, bragging dynamics and underlying urge to commune that has served as the underlying thread for us as collectively speaking for a few millenia now, only recently hyperempowered by...
