I often quote Daniel H. Pink’s motivation mantra, but here we go again, you need three things in your job to be motivated: autonomy, purpose and mastery. So you have to be able to direct your own way of working, you have to see some goal you’re going for and then you have to be able to perfect your skills and learn more. These are not very hard criteria to fill as an entrepreneur. Malcolm Gladwell quips in Outliers... "Those three things – autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward — are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying." Jonathan: My favorite of the moment is the the kinetic typography video that Jared Heather made:. It's just an incredible piece of work. The theater department at Boston College created and staged a musical called Code Monkey made up of a lot of my songs, that was kind of awe inspiring to watch. A guy named Spiff makes great World of Warcraft music videos music videos for my songs (and other people's songs). And recently I was listening again to a remix of Code Monkey done by Kristen Shirts. She won a remix contest with a version that I liked so much, it changed the way I play the song live . It also led to her playing ukulele at shows with me a few times. There are a lot of others I'm forgetting now I'm sure. http://jococruisecrazy.com/ "Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards." -- Soren F.

The Social Security Administration estimates that about three-quarters of illegal workers pay taxes that contribute to the overall solvency of Social Security and Medicare. "Overall, any type of immigration is a net positive to Social Security. The more people working and paying into the system, the better," Hinkle said. "It does help the system remain solvent." http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/USB_Switchblade

Pwnie Awards: Doctor Braid's song "Nice Report": http://www.sophsec.com/nice_report.mp3 Feynman's Rant on Social Science "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller the classical Rowan Atkinson sketch ...well over half of the time you spend working on a project (on the order of 70 percent) is spent thinking, and no tool, no matter how advanced, can think for you. Consequently, even if a tool did everything except the thinking for you -- if it wrote 100 percent of the code, wrote 100 percent of the documentation, did 100 percent of the testing, burned the CD-ROMs, put them in boxes, and mailed them to your customers -- the best you could hope for would be a 30 percent improvement in productivity. In order to do better than that, you have to change the way you think.

Manos is more horrible to behold, but Prince of Space is funny from start to finish, and hits every key sci-fi demo - B&W, bad SFX, awkward costuming, dubbed from Japanese to some weird form of Brooklyn tough guy accent ("I like it VERY MUCH!"), great callbacks (Krankor's laugh, "your weapons are useless against me", bumbling scientists). It was a cinematic goldmine, ably plundered by Mike and the Bots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planescape_Torment It has some issues(for one, finding a legitimate copy).
