This one can be useful too.


You can also listen to radio programs like "entreprenuer on fire", you can get podcasts from the app "Tune in radio", you'll hear lots of stories. There are other programs about entrepreneurship in that app.


I think it is better to get the exercise done before working.

Wake up earlier and go to the gym.

If you don’t like the gym do some pushups and crunchs and go running or do exercise bike for 30 minutes. Maybe it is hard the first weeks but if you get a routine it will become easier and you will feel energetic during the day if you do exercise when you wake up.


I recently got "Hackers and painters" by Paul Graham. I'm still reading but pretty cool so far.


I agree with you PM tools are useful:

1)If the projects are not finished at the deadline, we don’t have to blame the tool as you said.

2)Also Oren says that focusing is the key and gives us some advice. Ok.

I think he is right but maybe the head title doesn’t match a lot with the content.

“The light importance of PM in Startups (initial phases)” or “Startups: things to focus in before PMing” would be better. IMO.

BTW, awjr thanks for those tools and I sign up in SoftwareLeadWeekly , let’s see!


Grellas I think your point of view is very well. I got some conclusions from your comment and are that “this is business”, “we have to be open-minded to respect others opinions/ideas/decisions” and “we have to be empathic” even if DH wants to hire Ms Rice. I agree.

However, it has to be the other way around from DH. He is going to modify the image and the charisma of his company… and it may have negative consequences in his company (as we can see in the article and in these posts) and he will have to accept them like some people will stop using his service. If you hire someone who is going to make you lose some clients and stain your image… you better hire another one… there are plenty of people able to work in that position with a record as good as Ms Rice without all that suppose cr*p beneath them.

I think big companies shouldn’t mix with politicians with controversial records… even though they do... IMHO!


Have you ever read about the "Scrum methodology"? I think it is a good place to start...

My attempt to try to help you:

1st picture: you see a red signal and “f” which means that the signal is in the “time world”. The x axis represents the time.

2nd picture: The “f” disappears and a lot of signals in blue color appear. If you add up all these blue signals the result is the red signal. As you can see there are a lot of different blue signals with different frequencies.

3rd picture: they do that 3D breakdown where you can see each signal and on the right appears another graph/plot which represents the Fourier Transform. This graph/plot is in the “frequency world” and the x axis represents frequency. Each frequency of each blue signal is represented as a straight line. This line is a only blue signal located in its frequency and the more larger is in the y axis the more representative is in the final result (which is the red signal). The largest straight line is the one on the left because is the one with more energy in the “time world” and for that is the more representative in the frequency plot. The f with that arch is the Fourier Transform.

4th picture: they show you the signal on the “time world” and the signal in the “frequency world”.


This was a really complete answer. Just to not repeat and complete it with a couple of new things:

-You might get some interesting and fun things in here: California Academy of Sciences and The Exploratorium. Every Thursdays they have special events.

-This is another website where you can find something: http://www.sfweekly.com/

If you want to socialize www.meetup.com (already told by Jemaclus) is great. You can also organize or find meetups to programme instead of programme alone for example. There are meetups for whatever think you want to think, so just try some of them until you find something and some people you like!


I can't believe I forgot to mention Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences on Thursday nights! GREAT program!


IMO, I don’t think the platform is the key in this kind of business. As you can see in this thread some people like emails and other people like apps or whatever.

I think the key is the quality of content. When I read this: The Ivy experience We select from a variety of topics and sources to help you become well informed. Join thousands of Ivy League students in reading bit•of•news.

I think , “who are “we”?”, “who are choosing instead of me the news?”, “you” select a variety of topics that maybe I (as a user) don’t even care… which makes users get bored or jaded… and opt-out of it.

I have just subscribed and I haven’t been asked if I am interested in sport, tech, politics, science, biology,fashion,travel,business… and if I start receiving that kind of topics that I don’t like or think are not interesting but the person in charge thinks they are cool… there is a problem…

The quality content is different for almost each user. For example, Flipboard asks you before you open an account to know what you want to be informed. They have quality content for each user.
