Reblogged from Michael O.Church:
What I’m about to say is true now, as of July 2012. It wasn’t necessarily true 15 years ago, and it may not be true next year. Right now, for most people, it’s utterly correct– enough that I feel compelled to say it. The current VC-funded startup scene, which I’ve affectionately started calling “VC-istan”, is– not to be soft with it– a total waste of time for most of the people involved.
Blunt truth about startup jobs. - Mar 31, 10
Anger can be a good thing or a bad thing. We all get angry sometimes. You can choose to channel your anger into something constructive or let it loose to be destructive. The choice is yours.
A few tips to calm your anger:
- Realize that you have become angry – this is the most important step (self actualization)
- Decide how to calm your anger – take a deep breath, drink some water, walk around a short while
- Decide how you want to deal with your anger – use it to make something useful, turn it into motivation (use it to jog an extra mile or turn the event into a joke)
Today I got my 1st threat as a Photographer from a “Lawyer.” If I take a picture of you and you want it deleted, I will.
DO NOT THREATEN ME!
You would think that lawyers are more civil, this one was highly aggressive and even threatened to hurt not just my camera but me.
*tsk tsk*
Don’t they teach civility in Law School?

- Feb 19, 10With the release of the recent Starcraft 2 Beta, I reflected on the term “Gamer”.“Gamer – A person who plays games, particularly video games; Comparative form of game: more game”
A True Gamer will treat a game like a relationship.
Stage 1 – “The Crush” - You are slowly falling madly and deeply in love.You just heard news that this new game is in development. This is the game you’ve been waiting for all of your life. You read every and all articles regarding this upcoming game. You even take the time to search for leaked video and pictures relating to this new release.Stage 2 – “Obsessive Love” - The relationship starts and you’re madly in love; you would do anything. The world consists only of you two.The game is out (or in Beta) and you are in LOVE. Food and water are no longer necessary for daily life. The game is your life. You will play the game 24/7. Somehow the term “sleep ” slips out of your vocabulary.Stage 3 – “The Enlightenment” – You rediscover that the world actually has others. It’s not just the two of you.You’ve played the game hours on end. Sleep deprived and possibly malnourished, you realize that there are such things as food, water, and sunlight. Your 24/7 gaming days are coming to an end. You feel slightly sleepy and hungry. You realize that 24/7 gaming days are probably not healthy nor sustainable.Stage 4 – “The Lasting Relationship” – You know that you still love each other and strive to redefine and better your relationship.All the time you spent on the game, you realize, are now just past memories. What is left of your time now is moving forward together. You both shared good and bad times, wins and losses. You’ll never forget the first time you saw the coolest unit in the game. You strive to make time and finally balance your life.Reflection
In my quest in search of a Starcraft 2 Beta Key, I have encountered several leads. Like many, I have waited over a full decade to play this game. I am in no hurry to rush and buy a key, but I felt it was a good time to reflect on my encounters with gaming.Share this post

http://bit.ly/MemorialDay09DC-Diditz
For most of my life, Memorial Day has meant commemorating our veterans, watching parts of the parade on TV, having outdoor cookouts, and spending time with friends. This Memorial Day was… a bit different from the norm.
I received a message to volunteer for the Memorial Day Parade [with Miss District of Columbia] and seeing as how I’ve never done it before [nor met Miss DC], I said: “Yes, I’d like to volunteer!” As Memorial Day approached, I used Twitter, Facebook, email, and etc. to ask for volunteers. Despite my best efforts, and continuing encouragement from President Obama about volunteering, by Memorial Day I only had two people interested in going! [I even mentioned meeting Miss DC! I guess the general public is still not in a volunteering mood, plus the fact that many of my known volunteers were on summer vacation.]
By Monday, the day of the Memorial Day Parade, we had accumulated a small group of volunteers. I set out to Virginia to meet up.As I arrived in VA, I discovered to my surprise that not only would I get a chance to meet Miss District of Columbia, but also other Queens–Miss United States, Miss Maryland, and Miss Teen Maryland! There was a small photo shoot and a light brunch. We left for DC in cars and on Metro.
Arriving in DC, we got to our volunteering tent and picked up our gear–shirts, water, food, and signs. At first, due to certain circumstances, all the Queens were unable to register for a float and were confined only to the sidelines of the parade. As we walked to our volunteering posts, we meet several branches of our United States military–the Marines, the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force. The military was extremely excited to meet the Queens and quickly offered them a chance to walk/march with them in the parade–Golden opportunity, so we took it! The parade began and the Queens walked proudly alongside our troops in the parade. [Although technically, we were not sure if the Queens were allowed to walk, who would question the decision made by out troops on Memorial Day? Hehe]
It was an exhilarating and amazing volunteering experience and I would definitely do this again next year. I highly want to commemorate our veterans, current military personnel, military families, all the volunteers, and the Queens [After all, walking a mile in heels is no walk in the park.]
