If you aren’t current, you may as well not exist. This is my conclusion after reading Sylvain Carle recent post (in French, sorry) that tells me who inspires him in Montreal, the city I call my home. The gist is the following: Carle lists 21 people that inspire him, and I like him a lot, [...]
Almost every sunscreen on the market accelerates cancer, the public learned last week. What, you didn’t know? Guess what? Saturated fat is also not the culprit for heart-disease. Yet every article we see about health still calls it “artery-clogging saturated fat,” as if it were one word that can’t be separated. Did you know either [...]
Montreal is the capital of the North American telemarketing industry. As the second-largest French-speaking city in the world, with a cheap labour force and low cost of living, Montreal is the ideal place for telemarketing companies. This means that many of us, the people you know that live here, have worked these kinds of jobs [...]
War is a source of endless profit. The reasoning behind this is simple. When bombs and technology are needed, they are produced. There are two sides who need this stuff, so they both buy it. Then they use it to destroy each other’s stuff. More stuff is needed, so more is bought. This continues until [...]
Hunt your prey until they collapse. This is the one true way. When you start on this quest you will be hungry and your opponents will be far. You’ll see them in the distance but they will seem untouchable. Don’t believe it. They will get comfortable and they will rest, but you will keep running. [...]
Just a quick thought. Bloggers receive commission via affiliate links if they choose to. They are influencing a sale. They are salespeople. Companies see value in that, so they gladly pay that percentage. Newspapers influence people too, so why don’t they receive a commission? If they influence someone in selling an iPad, why shouldn’t the [...]
What is your price point? We used to have very few options: work a job, start a company, be unemployed. Now there are a million options in between, especially on the web. Choosing where to price yourself will show people what you’re worth. I just bought Ev Bogue‘s The Art of Being Minimalist for $17. [...]
The world sure does have its fair share of douchebags. If you meet a lot of people, you know this of course. I’m not teaching you anything. Those of us that travel for a living have to contend with all kinds of people and take it in stride. We get better at it but things [...]
If we humans learned from our mistakes, we’d be geniuses by now. Learning to ride a bike is easy, and your muscles never let you forget it. So why is figuring life out so hard? Jane McGonigal talked about this in a session I saw once about the difference between games and life, and if [...]
… after years on the web, I’m actually starting to see a few themes in my work. There are actually quite a few, and it’s amazing I haven’t noticed it before. A blog allows you to drift along and write about anything, really, so it’s taken a lot of drifting before I figured anything out. [...]
Most of the world hasn’t heard about you yet. Good. You are like a good wine. You get appreciated and are worth more with age. You do it quietly, without fanfare, but when you come out of the cellar, you turn heads. You are a boulder rolling downhill. You begin slowly, but you have gravity on [...]
I just spent 10 days straight writing 1000 words a day for a little project I thought up. No one told me to do it. I just started because I realized it was important. The most important things you’ll work on in your life will be things that no one tells you to do. They’ll [...]
Quick, who are the 5 main actors in The Usual Suspects? Kevin Spacey Benicio del Toro ??? ??? ??? When was the last time you had an argument about what actors were in what movie? Do they still happen with your friends? They don’t happen as much with mine. We have smartphones, so the web [...]
