Hehe hungry-angry-lonely-tired is actually pretty good advice.

would it be too obvious to post a jpg from 'the californians'

there's a distinct awesomenessfest vibe about this amazing john mcafee saga:

John McAfee is a founding father of the anti-virus software industry, an inveterate self-promoter who built an improbable web security empire on the principles of trust and reliability, then poured his start-up fortune into a series of sprawling commune-like retreats, presenting himself in the public eye as a paragon of engaged, passionate living: "Success, for me," he has said, "is being able to wake up in the morning and feel like a 12 year old." But down in Belize, McAfee the enlightened Peter Pan seems to have refashioned himself into a kind of final-reel Scarface.

mcafee is now wanted for murder.

Now, every time my anti-virus software pops up, I will be reminded not to shove MDPV up my ass.

Thankfully for me, Peter Norton is one of the most boring people in the world.

The following is an extended version of Vishen Lakhiani’s TEDx KL talk on “Five Ways to Create the World’s Greatest Workplace”.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self- organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

be sure you check out the 'hall of awesomeness' beanbag scrum meeting at 10:00; the superhero awards, followed by the tradition of mounting the puppy

'a lot of people say it is the happiest moment of their week'

Just thought of this thread when I got to the taco restaurant part of this: http://www.vice.com/read/reasons-why-los-angeles-is-the-worst-place-ever

ha, the taco restaurant and cafe gratitude are two different things, but yeah.

I think we've covered cafe gratitude itt? or maybe I'm just confusing it with the UYD episode where they talk about it.

yeah, I misread, I definitely meant cafe gratitude

how the hell can you even name a place "cafe gratitude"?

Man, a founding father of all this BS is dead:

I guess it's a sign of progress that motivational speaking is m/l the 21st century version of a career as a circus freak

http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/3850056/qualcomms-insane-ces-2013-keynote-pictures-tweets

Not exactly motivational speaking, but on a scale of 1 to MENTAL this particular circus scores pretty high.

I think in that their overwhelming aesthetic seems to be AWESOMENESS and not any particular adherence to theme, makes it relevant.
