When you use clean URLs you say to the rest of the web apps world, “we know wtf we are doing.” Otherwise you could be considered just another geek with a site. Why not be considered cool? Why not be considered dope?

Top reason to blog:
10. Because you stopped learning anything new a couple years ago and it’s about time you started again.

Top reason not to blog:
4. Because you’ll screw up blogging just like you screwed up using PowerPoint. (Matthew N.)

Poorly implemented and/or designed learning technologies are an embarrassment to the field (think shovelware e-learning courses or boring PowerPoint lectures transformed to boring online courses). (Karl Kapp)

TRUTH!
3. Have an original idea no-one else would bother to do
One video this epitomises this - a girl who’s taken a photo of her face once a day for THREE years, and then strung them all together into a video-montage. With music. It’s actually quite spooky when you watch it, the music’s a bit “serial killer”. The advantage to this strategy is that if anyone wants to copy you, it’ll take three years before they get their version up on YouTube.

Tradition. Road cyclists have been shaving their legs for decades. If you you show up for a serious group ride with unshaven legs, other riders will shun you. Nobody will want to be riding close to you. They will think you aren’t experienced riding in a pack. This means you’ll likely cause a crash. Even mountain bikers should be using group road rides for training. Pro mountain bikers spend about 70% of their time training on the road.

I recommend this post for anyone who’s studying economics or commerce ! Very useful websites probably for future use when playing in the REAL share market. In particular — if you are interested in some serious stock market action, then this Investopedia Simulator is for you. It’s as close to real life as you can get without risking real money. You can get data for all US stocks that is only 20 minutes behind. A great tool for the future investor in you.

I’m not sure if this is saying anything about myself but the moment I saw this link, I had to click it .. unfortunately >.<

7.) Disarm the nagging, negative internal voice. That negative internal voice can keep anyone stopped. To disarm the internal voice, imagine a volume control and lower the volume. Or how about changing the internal voice to Mickey Mouse? Do you think you could take Mickey Mouse seriously if he were criticizing you? Change the voice to a clown voice. The point is to disarm the voice by altering the way it nags at you. If I hear my own voice nagging me, it stops me. If I hear a clown voice, I laugh and continue onward.

After reading this I’ve found that what has been said is quite accurate vis-a-vis the guys I know/have known. Seems to make a lot of sense and selon moi, one of the best reads on this list ! X-D [That probably says something about me -.-'']
