In fact, I’d say all one usually needs is a pencil and a sheet of paper. With that,...

After Hours: Mythology, Facebook, and Sean Parker →
rankandfile:
Sean Parker was sitting in World Civilization class at his Virginia high school when someone brought him a note. His father, it read, was waiting to take him to an orthodontist appointment. A chill ran down Parker’s spine. He didn’t have an orthodontist.

Asylum is rolling with Movember in high fashion: promoting banging fellas with moustaches.
Some key moments worth typing:
Cancer steals titties. Cancer steals balls.
Cancer loves Glenn Beck and it hates nachos.

Five Unexpected Things I Learned about Life... →

2. If you tell someone your goal, you’re less likely to accomplish it.
There’s a certain amount of secrecy that comes with being an entrepreneur, since our ideas are what set us apart.
