All of us crave a close group of friends who have our backs?who we trust?who LISTEN to us?and who occasionally offer advice when we ask for it. As we get older, our friends get busy. We all have our own lives. That?s normal. It?s expected. But ironically, as we need more and more support, our close-knit support group is focusing on THEIR careers and THEIR families. More than that, our friends usually don?t read the same stuff we do. Sometimes, they don?t even ?get? what we?re trying to do. We find ourselves wishing we could add some other people to our lives. Keep the friends, but also add trusted mentors and advisors.

When you end your presentation, always say ?thank you.? Other people will tell you this is wrong, or weird, but it?s not. It tells the audience you?re done and gives them permission to applaud.?

the implemented feature doesn?t support Google Tasks integration with Google Calendar, there is a separate request for that.

Some instructions on integrating can be found here.

After she did, I asked her to tell it to me?but 50% slower. She found this INCREDIBLY difficult. But to everyone watching in the room, it was IMMEDIATELY apparent how powerful this was. She sounded cool, confident, controlled.

For Android-based devices, it?s easy to distinguish between smartphones and tablets using the user-agent string supplied by browsers: Although both Android smartphones and tablets will include the word ?Android? in the user-agent string, only the user-agent of smartphones will include the word ?Mobile?. In summary, any Android device that does not have the word ?Mobile? in the user-agent is a tablet (or other large screen) device that is best served the desktop site. For example, here?s the user-agent from Chrome on a Galaxy Nexus smartphone: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.1.1; Galaxy Nexus Build/JRO03O) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Mobile Safari/535.19 Or from Firefox on the Galaxy Nexus: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0 Compare those to the user-agent from Chrome on Nexus 7: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.1.1; Nexus 7 Build/JRO03S) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Safari/535.19 Or from Firefox on Nexus 7: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0 Because the Galaxy Nexus?s user agent includes ?Mobile? it should be served your smartphone-optimized website, while the Nexus 7 should receive the full site.

 Record a video of yourself answering this VERY simple question (pick one): - ?What brings you here?? (Imagine we meet at a cocktail party and I ask you that.) - ?Why do you want to work for Acme Corp?? (Pretend I?m interviewing you for a job.)

I insist on my students recording themselves on video (even posting it to a secret URL if they?re not comfortable with it being shared) to discover huge insights about themselves.

I knew exactly how to end sentences (without saying, ?So?.ya?.), how to emphasize important points with my voice, how to use my facial expressions to convey alarm, or surprise, or excitement.
