Starting the little network of friends has allowed me to get advice and feedback from some of the smartest minds on the Net in a vast array of niches. I mean, these people are sharp. (I’m quite content being the dummy of this group.) People often look at the list of members and ask how we managed to get such an impressive group of on board. It wasn’t rocket science. In fact, it was easy. But it took time. You see, we wrote personal emails to each member. Each email contained a reason why that particular member would find our group compelling. The fact that we were having a discussion with each member instead of me sending a bulk email...

It’s often our nature to want to be the best at everything. If we can do many things well, we should be able to see profits. “Diversify, diversify, diversify”. Yet for whatever reason, sprawling out into multiple markets doesn’t necessarily mean success. It’s only being the best at one thing and refining it daily that wins in the long run. Chipotle has centered around the the simple premise that they were going to serve a very limited menu, without extra things like plates, appetizers, or deserts. Just burritos, tacos and salads with all the same (limited) ingredients. Experts believed that the limited selection would turn customers away. Oops. Ever seen Instapaper? This simple application does one thing: saves online pa...

We drive a used car, don’t eat out a lot, and we have a solid budget that we (usually) stick to. Yet there are still a few things that we splurge on. For example, instead of buying regular plastic carton milk, I like to buy the locally-made organic milk that comes in a glass bottle. This typically runs $1.50-$2 more than the traditional plastic carton version, but I buy it anyway. Why? Who knows! I know I love it, and even though I’ll maybe have a glass a day and maybe some in my cereal, it’s not a critical part of my life. I could easily go without the ritzy milk. But I don’t. For whatever reason, this small, insignificant part of my life seems better when I have milk that comes in a glass container. The aesthetics... LifeDev blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3890599 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:54:43 +0100 3890599 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3750322&cid=t_150755_180_f&fid=38608&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FLifeDev%2F%7E3%2F14P1EdJkOSQ%2F The news industry is essentially creating a race to the bottom when it comes to quality. Major online publications like AOL have started cranking out cheap and tiny bits of content, hoping to cash in on local news and the long tail. With plunging ad sales and a tough economy, the only way to keep the online doors open is to cut costs (and lower standards). Or so they think. It’s not about being prolific any more, it’s about keeping the doors open with pageviews. There’s really two schools of thought when it comes to producing online content strategies: The School of Quantity The School of Quantity, like the name implies, puts an emphasis on churning a lot of content. The more girth you can add to the site, the better. You’re hoping that the long tail catches you, he...

This is usually a great thing. But sometimes we’ll make up tons of extra things to add to something because we fear failure (guilty as charged). So getting something out the door is a great way to build momentum, pat yourself on the back, and bask in the accomplishment of actually creating something. (Lots of people don’t usually get that far. Kudos!) But once the party hats are put away and the plastic cups cleaned from the front lawn, it’s a great idea to start looking at tuning up some of the finer details that might have been glossed over just to meet the deadline and “ship”. I’ve been trying to focus on some of the finer details in the LifeDev design. This is r...

The sex column has mutated mightily since the earliest days of “Ask Anka” in Details. Once banished to the back section of alt-weeklies, right by the classified ads, frank first-person sex writing has spread to college newspapers and blogs. And ad as this world has matured, so have its participants. So what happens when writers decide that they want to focus their erotic energies on one person, or just that they need to take a break from chronicling their intimate exploits? Some writers go the eminent-sage route, moving into a position where they dole out advice to the needy. But others, including the acid-tongued New York City dating columnist Amy Sohn and the pioneering sex website Nerve, are moving on to a step t...

Including the details of standard autopsy procedures, as though they were new or bizarre. The latest, of course, is that Michael Jackson’s body is being buried without his brain. But this is not unusual in an autopsy where the cause of death isn’t certain and the brain is suspected to carry some clues. The brain needs to harden, in order to perform the later slicing needed in the autopsy procedure: It involves removing the brain from the skull and leaving it to soak in a diluted mixture of formaldehyde and water called formalin. This soaking process usually takes four weeks and the brain genuinely does harden. Vaug...

Agh! AGH!”I fly to his side as he has surely impaled himself on a dagger. I see vast quantities of tears, snot and drool, but it’s definitely a blood free zone. Fooled again! I wait. I wait until the screams can turn into some words.“It….is……badddd!” Great, and we’re off to a swimming start.“What’s bad dear?”He doesn’t speak but raises a quivering finger tip to my nose without making contact. I feel my eyes cross.“Oh dear, that is bad,” I lie.“Bad! BaD! BAD!” he bellows. I am still none the wiser. Sensitive, intuitive parents are so in tune with their children that they can get away without words. Other lesser mortals need every clue I can get. I notice that he holds a pair of nail clippers in his other hand. Aha! I reach for his hand and examine th...

How does it happen? It could be negative employees who pile on cortisol chemicals through complaints that erode your workplace. Or it could come from constant workplace demands that rob your serotonin and leave you exhausted and mentally bankrupt. Luckily … the pathway back to well-being and calm can be yours in a shorter time than most people realize. Freedom from feeling overwhelmed comes faster when you:1. Ask 2-footed questions such as … What if …? and then take one step toward a winning solution. For example, recently, I felt overwhelmed with volunteer work at a camp for disadvantaged youth.

I am already a card carrying member of the food police. Healthy eating could be my second name. However, approved treats such as carrots, grapes, watermelon and their ilk, do not fit into my own son’s current repetoire. Until this year I have always ensured that my contribution was a plate of tiny bite sized chocolate buns, each topped off with a flourish of ganache. They are far too rich, decadent and sophisticated for the average 6 year old. He will be fobbed off with nothing less than Belgium, or if really pushed, Swiss chocolate.Each class has what is known as a ‘room mom,’ a person who co-ordinates the volunteers and their offerings. The current room mom has ignored the food policy, rebel th... Whitterer on Autism blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=987191 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:51:00 +0100 987191
