Oh, who do you work for? > Myself. I started a market research company with my best friend a year ago.

Oh, like a start up? > Yeah, I guess you can call it that. We do some contract work on the side to pay for things.

Hows it going so far? > Pretty good! We've tried out some things that haven't worked out and we're trying out new things. What about you, what do you do?

- At this point, 99% of people feel as if they know everything about you. So the game, you the more intelligent entrepreneur with your max hax0r people skillz, is to find something interesting about them. If you manage to do that, then you might just have a new friend, and not just another business card.

I have a notebook in which I write directions to a place before going there for the first time. Lame, I know... but every time I have a get a copilot, they end up looking through the book. I doubt they would have done the same if the directions were stored in a smartphone.

Cash is still king.

I'm glad you didn't deny the fact that she made porn :P

Do you have a moral obligation to working for this company? Does this company's mission fit into your moral outlook as a human being right now?

Step 1: Clear your mind: - Close your eyes, take a deep breath and say "oooooooooooooom" ten times. Try to keep your voice as steady as possible - concentrate on trying to keep the intensity and pitch of your voice consistent.

Step 2: Open your eyes slowly. Your mind will feel clear and you can now focus on the task at hand.

Before that, when I had a day job as a programmer - I used to come up with longer descriptions and alternative titles for what I did at the firm that I worked at.

Odd huh?..=)

- You won't drive your car cross country to a cheaper mechanic. - You won't get a lawyer from India to represent you in America. - You don't go to a doctor... well thats changing isn't it? Too bad doc education still costs so damn much in America.

Its about group supply and demand. Don't forget that homes cost and arm and a leg and that a programmer in a particular neighborhood should be able to afford a home in that neighborhood and should charge accordingly.

As far as eating is concerned, here's what I suggest:

- Figure out what you usually eat.

- Now figure out what you need (in terms of proteins, vitamins, minerals etc..), and figure out whether your current diet is providing what you need.

- If you have been getting everything you need in your current diet but are gaining fat, figure out what you can start cutting back on.

- If you are deficient in your daily intake nutrients but are also gaining fat, then figure out what you can add to your diet to complete the right nutrient intake, and what you can start cutting back on.

All this diet and exercise shit is a bit evolutionary. Just stick to it, build it up over time. Don't be too hard on yourself but don't give up or go easy either.
