I learned about this because of Janis Krum's blog. He was the guy who took the photo of today's plane crash and posted it to Twitter. His blog is here: http://www.janiskrums.com/ -- want some inspiration? Think things are hopeless? Watch that video and see if don't find some inspiration. Thanks TIm Ferriss and Janis!

The paths we find things through are pretty weird. I know Tim personally but haven't had time to get to my RSS feeds lately. But, they come to me anyway. One of the lessons I've learned in my "media snacking" journey.
- Robert Scoble
That confirms it. I SUCK!

I got to Janis' blog from his Twitter account. His photo today made me wonder who he was.

Really cool video. Even cooler back story as to how you found it! I'm starting to get this FF thing!

Great find Robert, Nick speaks at our church all the time and all over the world, he hangs out after he speaks and he greets every single person who waits in line and gives everyone a hug. Here is Nick's site http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/

Still crying after watching this video and so angry at my self-absorbed life complaints. Today, right this very moment, this video has changed the way I view life.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Very inspirational. The guy has done amazing things, and I definitely get the message - right up until he starts in with the evangelism. Is it just possible he could have achieved the same things on his own - or with a support system that didn't carry the Jesus branding?
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Hi Mary, a heavy duty topic worthy of it's own thread, IMO http://is.gd/g3Ik
- michael silverton
Mary, I don't think it is a matter of Jesus "branding", it is his testimony, it is a genuine explanation of how he's been able to overcome his circumstances. I don't think Nick would be the man he is today if he would have "done it on his own"
- Kelly Johns
Moving, thanks!

Tears in my coffee cup. Good way to start a day of opportunities for those with more. To whom much is given, much is expected. Thanks for sharing...awesome.

Kelly, I suspect you're right. Especially since he's a preacher's kid. And I really do get that it can take a huge spiritual foundation to overcome big obstacles. But just once I'd like to see an inspirational story that doesn't turn out to be a lead-in to a Christianity message. Are we - as a culture - as Americans under the First Amendment - saying that nobody can overcome great obstacles who is not a Christian?
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Let's see some examples of great inspiration from the secular world - or the other religious and spiritual traditions. For instance - Stephen Hawking has lived decades longer than anyone with ALS normally would.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Mary, Please rewatch this video, no where was this pushing a Christian message. I heard God, witnessing God. I believe this was more a faith in God, which is not exclusive to Christians. :)
- Janet:#TeamMonique
True. I made the mistake of watching a second video. And - the language in the first video is the lexicon of the Christian brand: witnessing, faith, God's plan. Witnessing and the idea of God's plan for a person or a community don't exist in, for example, Judaism, and the concept of faith in Judaism is rather nebulous, at least in the Reform tradition.

Misha, did you just said the word "download"???
- Orli Yakuel
What's this download thing you're talking about?
- Amit Morson
Nice programming exercise but you really don't want to count on this to wake you up. So many things can fail - your connection, your ISP, even your OS ... Nice for quick reminders to turn off the oven or something.
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, you can always use something for back up (or use this as back up to alarm clock, mobile, etc.,).
- Orli Yakuel
@Orli -Yes))
- obolonskyi
Well, if I use another (more reliable) device then this web app is redundant. Nicely done though.
- Yuval Atzmon
Brilliant. During exam time I set up as many alarm clocks as I can. Gnome Alarm, Amarok, my iPhone, physical alarm clock, and now... kukuclock. When 4 months of grueling work comes down to waking up at 7:20 am... the more clocks the better :)

Office ban on social network sites is detrimental, says reports | IT PRO - http://www.itpro.co.uk/605229...
Stephen Cropp, Dave Roth, Owen and 4 other people liked this
"Both Gartner and Huddle.net have found that banning the use of social networking sites in the workplace could be doing more harm than good. ... Organisations should anticipate web participation “as part of the social experience and formulate a multilevel approach to policies for effective governance”, according to Gartner. ... “IT departments hear ‘Facebook’ and clam up. But there’s more to social networking than just consumer sites. Public sector workers already know that efficiencies can be made with using collaborative technologies for work, so it’s time that IT heads caught up,” said Alastair Mitchell, chief executive of Huddle."
- David Smith
If I where a manager I think that I would be pretty insulted if IT felt it necessary to ban my staff from using social media sites.
- John Cooper
I work in Egypt. In the company i work FB and even Mixx along with publica email access to sites like yahoo, and google except for 30mins break during lunchtime when everyone can use those. Interestingly, FF and Netvibes are not blocked, but that is because there is almost no awareness of those. Persuading IT to open at least Mixx was like talkng to a wall. No argument was good enough. They say it wastes time, no further discussion.
- Hayk
When sites are blocked at the corporate level, workers spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get around the blocks. . . like using the neighboring company's insecure wifi to get there.
- Dave Roth
One of the reports being cited is Huddle, a "business social networking developer." Of course they're going to conclude that. "Organisations should anticipate web participation "as part of the social experience..." Whoever said work was supposed to be a social experience? While I admit it might be handy to message someone occassionally, hanging out on Facebook, MySpace, FF, Twitter etc. is counter productive. How much work are you getting done? None.

from twhirl
Fortunalee: "Whoever said work was supposed to be a social experience?" — define "social" in a pejorative way & you'll not want it in the work place. I've never thought of work as other than intimately bound up with the "social": work is about interaction, teams, dialogues, collaboration ... Where I get to do a lot of that includes the sites you mention. You *can* waste time on such sites — but how many "strictly work" meetings waste time?! I find "social" sites very efficient and to the point.
- David Smith
There is no "right" answer on this. The sad reality is it's a no-win situation. You ban it and your workers hate you and get around you. You legalize it, and a lot of people abuse it. The VAST majority of workers have no need for social networking sites at work. People on FF may, but not the average person, including corporate IT folks.
