Twitter users are going manga kerrazy, replacing their avatars with those from FaceYourManga. If you’ve got a manga Twitter avatar you’d like to share, post a link to your Twitter account in the comments. Or, read on for further thoughts on this intriguing trend. Twitter’s Manga Invasion The above graph was extracted from a viral marketer’s wet dream. It shows the sudden, seemingly inexplicable rise of the terms “manga” (green line) and “faceyourmanga” (red line) ...

Dozens of topics covered include: - Testing asssumptions vs. cheating - PR and reaching out to unreachables - Micro-testing ideas and products: from The 4-Hour Workweek to Trent Reznor - Personal outsourcing for creatives - Filling the void and creating meaning outside of the inbox and office Derek is a programmer who lost his stage fright by doing ...

Over the years we’ve received hundreds (thousands?) of emails asking us our opinion on this, how we’d do that, what we think of this idea or that idea. People ask about Getting Real, entrepreneurship, business models, hiring, collaboration, design decisions, tech-related stuff, questions about our products, etc. We also really enjoy the Q&A sessions at the end of our talks whenever we present at a conference or workshop. We always try to leave ample time ...

A good friend emailed me from out of the blue with this… I thought I’d share it. “The 4 Agreements” by don Miguel Ruiz. 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don’t Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of ...

photo credit: futureshape Believe it or not, there’s an institution where your actions are tracked and either rewarded or penalized. Okay, so it’s not a real bank, but it has a very real affect on your life. It’s the Bank of Nice, a place where being kind pays dividends. It has simple rules. Each time you’re nice to another person, you’ve just made a deposit. Each time you’re cruel or petty to another person without ...

My partner is taking a class in psychology and one assignment asks her to write a paper answering the question “What makes life worth living?” For the past few days, she’s been asking the people around her – kids, friends, co-workers – what they think makes life worth living, and the answers have been pretty much of a sort: family, friends, work, music, some possession or other, faith, maybe health. Computer games. Although these answers ...

If there’s one popular cliché that is dangerous to believe, it’s this one. “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” Actually, I can even live with that phrase literally. But most people take it to say “If it’s too good to be true then it DEFINITELY is.” That’s dangerous because it programs the mind to disbelieve things that are wonderful. This is too good - forget about it. There must be a ...

1) I don’t have a personal brand False This statement always annoys me, yet people continue to ask it again and again and again. The second you were born, you were branded. Maybe even before you were born! The way chromosomes work is that you will share qualities from both your mother and father, therefore their personal brands co-develop yours. Before you even come out of the womb, your parents are already branding you (in ...

I’m not even sure what to say about this “I Kissed a Girl” parody by LeggyBlonde, but it’s clearly viral video genius in the making (if you can deal with the moment at the two and a half minute mark where I totally had a heart attack). I think the lyric “it felt so wrong” definitely applies to the feeling I had while watching the video… Great job by Michelle and all the adorable pooches ...

Moving 1 inch might set you free to travel an eternity... I was reading something from Tom at Mindhacks about an experience he has while rock-climbing and I started to relate it to other life situations that it also applies to. Tom was saying that he frequently has an experience while rock-climbing in which he finds himself stuck in a situation that doesn’t offer any good hand holds to help him move forward. Nor backward ...

If Ashley Alexandra Dupree doesn’t make you proud to be from New Jersey… then this video sure will. Its funny because the mayor of one of these Jersey Shore towns Belmar, NJ recently went public claiming that these guidos from Staten Island were ruining his beach community. The saddest part of this video… is that they couldn’t even find some hot chicks to make an appearance. Instead we get some butter faces talking about how ...
