Don Says What? (El LoCo)

Wow. Just wow. This is an image of alternate universe where Bruce Wayne died instead of his parents.

The tragedy inspires Bruce’s father, Thomas Wayne, to become Batman and drives his mother, Martha, to insanity and a life as the Joker.

“No Surprises” by Radiohead Kalimba Cover (by Nicole He)

This is an amazing con artist story. Victor Lustig was gutsy and very clever. The key to his scams were to get people to do something illegal, so they couldn’t call the authorities on him. His money-box scam convinced people to buy false counterfeiting equipment. And his Eiffel tower scam convinced his victims he was a bribe-able bureaucrat who would give preferential treatment to the highest bidder. Brilliant.

You know when you were getting ready to leave, you helped Matthew get dressed? I almost told you not to, because I always get him dressed at the last minute, in case something happens to him to get dirty. Well today, something happened…

The 20 most-watched TED Talks to date

I read Seth Godin’s blog almost every day, but this interview of him in The Great Discontent provides a lot of background into how he got where he is, and where he’s going with his work.

When I was 14, two things happened. One, I started my first little business and two, I started reading my father’s copies of Forbes magazine. What I discovered is that some people were able to make a living basically doing what I do now. There are plenty of people who back into what it is they want to do, but even though I took many side roads along the way, this is exactly what I wanted to do 40 years ago. I’m thrilled that the universe lined up to let someone as easily distracted and ADD as me figure out a way to earn a fine living making a ruckus and helping people get to where they want to go.
