Today is a new holiday and one that’s been a long time coming.
We already have a day dedicated to bosses and admin/secretaries and now Solar Winds has proposed making September IT Professional Day in honor of one of the most ignored, when things are working, and maligned, when things go wrong, departments. Bare i 2016 ble det lansert over 100 nye casinoer for det norske markedet https://www.casinonorske.com/spilleautomater-på-nett.
There is little initial investment, it’s cheap to use and very simple to make.
Best, especially in places like California, you can reuse the same water over and over in containers or use the cooler blocks (the ones you freeze) from a dollar store.
I often claim the label of Luddite and am know to my friends as a digital dinosaur (I spent the weekend upgrading from Office 2003 to 2007).
I’m not a lover of the Internet of Things, because I believe anything/everything can be hacked. (If you have evidence to the contrary, please share).
To me, the idea of hackable self-driving cars is a nightmare and drones make me cringe.
Obviously, I’m not the only one who feels this way.
It seems my revulsion is shared by my distant cousins.
However, if I react the same way I would probably be sued and possibly jailed.
The problem, of course, is that technology is light years ahead of society, not only on a moral/ethical level, but on a consideration of consequences — of which there seems to be none.
Last year I wrote two posts on the value of sleep and how to power nap, important to all, but especially to entrepreneurs.
Without good sleep your life will be ruined, but if you don’t drink enough water your life will end, period. (Note: it’s not a comfortable ending.)
People know this, it’s not rocket science.
But knowing isn’t doing.
So as a public service today I’m sharing an article about Plant Nanny; a whimsical way to make sure you stay hydrated.
When you download the app, you input some personal information (height, weight, physical activity level) and then pick out a plant. Plant Nanny tells you how many cups of water you have to drink per day.
For every cup of water you drink, you tap the little circle in the bottom right hand corner. The goal is to drink all the cups of water you’re supposed to every day. It keeps your plant happy, and presumably it keeps you hydrated. If you forget to water your plant, it will look sad. If you completely neglect it, it will die and you’ll have to start over.
I like the fact that the amount of water, as well as the size of your “cup,” is customizable based on you — not one-size-fits-all, which it doesn’t.
It works on iPhone and Android, so you don’t have that excuse.
Besides being a lot healthier, water is a whole lot cheaper — as in free.
If you have a thing against tap water, invest in a good, refillable, filtering water bottle.
Because a lot of bottled water is not special and plastic is definitely not green.
‘Twas the day before Christmas I sat down to write, but nothing came—writer’s block was my plight. The net was the answer, I knew in my bones, infinite info would lead me back to my zone. The idea leapt out as you will see, a once-a-year treat found by using this key! Then enjoy Christmas day, it’ll soon be past; be mindful and caring, ‘cause the time won’t last!
I want to wish you all a lovely, mindful day filled with caring companionship and joy.
And for those of you who need help facing down all those holiday goodies, check out the truth about chocolate. It should help.
I also want to give a heads-up.
I have a heavy schedule between now and 2015, so new posts will be intermittent at best.
See you all for sure January 2, 2015. (A date I find hard to believe is happening next week!)
Entrepreneurs face difficulties that are hard for most people to imagine, let alone understand. You can find anonymous help and connections that do understand at 7 cups of tea.
Crises never end.
$10 really does make a difference and you’ll never miss it,
Last year I wrote two posts on the
