I’m going to go out on a limb here and state that I think Tyrion Lannister is one of the best characters in all of fiction, and at least the best in Game of Thrones. The ever-caustic, wealthy, hyper-intelligent, hilarious dwarf is one of the foremost point-of-view characters in George R.R. Matrin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series of novels, and when portrayed brilliantly by an actor as talented as Peter Dinklage. you can bet all the gold in Casterly Rock that he’ll steal whatever scene he
This Wand Remote makes couch surfing magical again
Do you remember the first time you used a remote control on your television set or favorite toy? It was incredible right? I can honestly say that making my sister believe I had telekinetic powers was fantastic! But as I’ve accumulated more and more remote controls in my life, I’ve become jaded. And then, I got a package from The Wand Company that brought back my old feelings of wonder. Do I care that my wife won’t touch it because it makes her feel silly? Of course not – it just means more
5 Stoic Exercises That Will Make You A Better Entrepreneur
Very few ancient philosophies can be traced back to an entrepreneur, but one can: Stoicism. Around 304 BC, a merchant named Zeno was shipwrecked on a trading voyage. He lost nearly everything. Making his way to Athens, he was introduced to philosophy by Crates of Thebes, a famous Cynic, which changed his life. Within a few years, Stoic philosophy would be born. As Zeno later joked, ‘I made a prosperous voyage when I suffered shipwreck.’ Since then, Stoicism has been a source of guidance,

Some things just beg to be celebrated with something red and bubbly, right? Enter one of my favorite cocktails-the classic French 75-but instead of using lemon juice, we infuse the drink with something to make it brilliant pinkish red-blood orange. So pretty! And just as lovely to drink as the original, if not more so. Continue reading ‘Blood Orange French 75 Cocktail’ »

Many people have a birthday on November 29th, but Emma Morano from Vercelli, Italy, is the only person celebrating her 117th birthday today. She’s the world’s oldest living person, but not only that – she’s the last person alive who was born in the 1800s! When Emma was born, in 1899, Britain was still at war with the Boers in South Africa. World War One was still fifteen years away and she was already 28 by the time the television was invented. She holds the Guinness world record as the only

Lazy but Talented
While walking back to my hotel from a conference in St. Louis, I saw someone wearing a shirt that said ‘Lazy but Talented.’ I think it was a Nike shirt. I’ve always been impressed with Nike’s advertising, but this slogan didn’t ring true. In the US, we seem to be overly obsessed with talent as if it is the most important part of success. It isn’t that talent is unimportant, but when it really comes down to what will make you successful, being hardworking is much more important. If you have

What a Snapchat phone could look like
In hypothetical concept designs, marketing firm Mediakix envisions what a Snap Inc. smartphone might look like, if the company that owns Snapchat was working on one. We already know that the makers of Snapchat can reinvent sunglasses. But what about smartphones? It might seen outlandish for Snap to make a phone, but not if you read the company’s IPO earlier this month. Snap made it clear that it’s about more than just an ephemeral messaging app on your phone -it’s also about hardware.
