Modern Alchemy

Editor’s Note: this is a guest post by Keith Savage, http://www.traveling-savage.com/. What’s my story? It had the same plot line as a million others: middle class upbringing in the suburbs, college at a well-respected university, tech job after graduation, marriage – you get it. Time corkscrewed forward, twisted by the green hand of currency. Short [...]

Totally Untemplated

Editor’s Note: the following is a guest post by Marlee Ward. Buying Into The Template I can’t say that giving into the template lifestyle was completely my fault. I think it’s just a byproduct of going through the “system.” Notions of creating a self-defined lifestyle are rarely discussed as you grow up. Rather, you are [...]

Crushing Clutter + Selling Crap = Win!

By Matt Gartland on September 23rd 2010 in Personal Finance 2 comments

Odds are you’re suffocating in clutter, even if you don’t know it yet. It’s a growing disease thanks to modern consumerism. We lust for more “stuff” not because we need it or even because we particularly want it. Instead, we’re obsessed with having the “best” TV money can buy, a “better” car than our neighbors, [...]

Today is September 1st – the birth of a new day and a new month. How are you going to take advantage of this re-set opportunity? What’s a re-set opportunity?

Open Thread: Who’s Your Hero?

By Matt Gartland on August 11th 2010 in Open Thread 6 comments

A true and great hero died last week. Most knew him as Robert Succop Whiteside – a decorated (for heroism) World War II naval officer, distinguished graduate of Carnegie Tech (Carnegie Mellon) at a time when it was more prestigious than Yale, successful business man, epic world traveler, and more. I knew him as Opa [...]

How Fearless Are You?

By Matt Gartland on August 3rd 2010 in Health 10 comments

Consider for a moment where your energy comes from. I’m not talking about energy “boosters” like coffee and caffeine shots. I’m talking about your internal life force that ignites your passions and fuels your drive. Where does THAT come from? I believe the answer is health – remarkable, brazen, and euphoric health! And yet, much [...]

How do you describe freelancing? Do you consider yourself a freelancer? Want to become one? The idea of freelancing can take my forms. It’s malleable like play-dough, which is a good thing! Why? Because it can be endlessly molded to fit your talents, experiences, passions, and pursuits. But for all of its appeal, a freelancing [...]

“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” – Cobb, Inception Welcome to the world of Inception, where ideas do alter reality and (thus) change the world. Oh, and no idea is safe. While not as mind-blowing [...]
