In his abode, Lord Byron kept: “Eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon” http://neuroticpoets.com/byron/ That was in addition to 10 bloody horses! All those pets (minus the horses) roamed freely throughout the house! Obviously Byron liked animals and the companionship and the ability to observe natural fauna in [...] “Economists explain that wealth has ‘declining marginal utility,’ which is a fancy way of saying that it hurts to be hungry, cold, sick, tired, and scared, but once you’ve brought your way out of these burdens the rest of your money is an increasingly useless pile of paper. ” (Gilbert 239). So my interpretation of [...] Something spectacular occurred to me after a few hours of meticulous frustration. I was touching up a portion of my material_items_all list and got stuck on a hygiene component. Specifically a hygiene-travel items. I looked up exactly what was the TSA aviation regulation for non-flammable fluids and, appealing to a precise side of me, was [...] First off, before you go about getting your treasure tome novel or thousand-paged tech manual or non-fiction masterpiece decorated with ISBN’s and the like, you need to write it! I recommend self-publishing and this true gem of an article on formatting in Word</a> is exquisitely well-written, concise, and comprehensively details how to properly format an [...] All descriptions of the movements on this page are the sole property and work of John Thomas Kooz. Originally this page was simply a list of all the music that appeared in audio blog snippets (as intros or outros usually) around the Validate Your Life Network, but I have extended it so that it has [...] (Okay, actually I learned about this a few days ago, but wanted to share). Why this is Important? We’re 70% H20 (Hey roughly the same proportion of water as the earth!). Water is in all our cells, in our blood, in our brain, in our organs. The water we drink touches every cellular nuance of [...] Ever set out to “Really, seriously clean out this room,” then find yourself, 20 minutes later, slowly sorting through photos and memorabilia, unable to toss a single thing? Erin Doland, editor of the Unclutterer blog, explained in a guest post why we can’t help holding onto clutter. The more you touch things over a lifetime, [...] Disclaimer: I felt it necessary to include this Disclaimer. If you consider yourself to have a modicum of faith in any religion, there exists a high degree of certainty (almost a guarantee) that this and other “Atheism For The Win” posts will either decrease your faith or make you angry. That is not my intention. [...] Stick With a Brand that Works Booth Oranges for Oranges. Sony for Audio Recording. Canon for digital photos and visual media (film). Spacepen for writing utensil. Cyberlite Swiss Army Knife Garmin or Magellan for gps devices. Just a few examples. I’ve used those products for years. All of them are “apex productivity items” (an item [...] This is an installment for the POPP productivity series. Basically, I do most of my work at a computer and thus my runway list is usually Computers, Errands, Groceries, or Social. But the Runway-Computer list I noticed had different categories and, more importantly, dividing the RWCO list into the emergent categories massively produced productivity. So [...] I Have been interested in wilderness survival for, well, off and on 10 years (ever since I read Tom Brown’s The Tracker in 2001, grand grand book that one and that guy is mean lean survivalist, but there are better like Bear Grylls). Anyways, I, thus, find, discover, and enjoy some great survival resources. This [...] This is a massive massive productivity tip I just realized. It’s to keep the computer (and hard-drives) STREAM-LINED. COMPUTER work AND FOLDERS! ONE OF MOST MONUMENTAL OF YEAR SO FAR. PRODUCTIVITY. CLOSURE, NON-SPRAWL. CONTAINED. MODULAR. Use computer as-if I am about to migrate and/or do a reinstall, this keeps EVERYTHING not locked down but Compact. [...] Another lesson my Kittens (and this serves as another installment of the original Kitten Anthologies) taught me is that Personal Space and Personal Time is crucial to any relationship even one with the species felis catus (between homo sapiens and felis catus or homo sapiens and homo sapiens personal time and personal space is crucial). [...] History and “Will it Work?” What is The Pomodoro Technique? Directly from their website: The Pomodoro Technique® is a way to get the most out of time management. Turn time into a valauble ally to accomplish what we want to do and chart continuous improvement in the way we do it. Francesco Cirillo created the [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20120306_firewalkshoaxscam.mp3] Edify on the go with this audio download! “When they are in front of 2,000-degree fire, they get an emotional state change.” –Anonymous spewer of delusional cult rubbish I’ve done the Tony Robbins Unleas the Power Within and I can tell you straight off the bat that it’s a 2-second experience of which [...] What’s in store for you in this post: factoids about the boat that transported English Separatists to “America” in the early 17th century details about the inventors of major forms of temperature measurement some interesting rants of ideological evolution finally, the original intention, a mnemonically-helpful presentation of a mathematical formula enabling smooth conversion between the [...] “In the Middle Ages, the time served apprentice went off as a journeyman to gain experience with a number of masters, and then settled down under one master he got on with. Here he would produce his masterpiece – literally, the piece of work that proved he was a master. This recognised by the Guild, [...] PIVOT is yet another VYL-Created technique. It’s very catchy, considerably more complex than SPS (rightfully so given intention of SPS!), and cognitively caters to how the brain works, ensuring that the neo-cortex quickly picks up and absorbs the functionality of this technique. In other words, this technique has been designed to be “appetizing” for [...] The Meditative Gadget While many of his techniques and superbly incomparable skills of deduction and observation were certainly accomplished with invisible tools, it was obvious that Sherlock Holmes relaxed and sharpened his razor-sharp mind while playing the violin. Watson knew that Holmes was in a meditative trance of higher clearer, cleaner thinking when practicing his [...] Introduction “For just at that moment the light came over the hill, and there was a mighty twitter in the branches. William never spoke for he stood turned to stone as he stooped; and Bert and Tom were stuck like rocks as they looked at him1.” That is an excerpt from possible the greatest fantasy [...] [audio: http://validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110906_beckham.mp3] Edify on the go! Time: I’m planning to read a bit more on Beckham as someone who, for lack of better words, has “wired himself efficiently”. He has healthy habits and I admire his polished style and his OCD organization and he’s ONE good looking man and he plays soccer; Beckham is [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110830_cflbulbs.mp3] Edify on the Go 5:27 First off, this site does an amazing job of explaining in detail the electricity details behind CFLs. In a nutshell, the benefits are: -1/5 the energy used. 15 watt CFL = the same light output of a 60 watt old-fashioned bulb. -Less pollution. Using 1/5 energy ensures a [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110823_emotionsnotfunnyekman.mp3] 45:32 Edify on the go! I was going to start by writing that “emotions are funny things”, something trivial, nuanced, minimizing the impact of emotions. But emotions are not funny things. They’re very serious and trivializing them would be like scoffing at an oncoming car while you’re in the middle of the rooad. [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110809_3hourrule.mp3] Edify on the Go! I’ve tried to write this post 3 times but had technical difficulties and have had to undergo three drafts. Fortunately, that also gave me three shots at revisions! Here’s what I’ve surmised. The principle: Eat nothing until three hours (or longer) after waking up. It’s incredibly simple but [...] |
