Steve Wozniak and Richard Anderson share their secrets
Filed under: Business, How-to, Personal Development
It was a big business information news day for me today. Seems that Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder, and Richard Anderson, Delta Airlines CEO, share many good tibits of information.
Steve talks about how he, a high level exec gets things done in life (via Lifehacker.com); while Richard talks about how he gets through his days and manages what he needs to (via The Consumerist Blog). Both are great reads with great insight into the top executive world and their mindsets. We could all leave from these guys.
Lifehacker: So it’s more important for you to have software that fits your specific email style than having the latest and greatest.
Steve Wozniak: I think that’s fair to say, although I’m also a fan with sticking with the most standard software that millions of other users also use, because you get the benefit of all those other users’ problems and solutions. I’m a fan both ways. I think you get a great set of programs with Apple’s systems, but from day one, I’ve wondered why they didn’t just have a standard API that lets you script anything from the menu bar into a button. Why isn’t it just built into the operating system?
Steve and Lifehacker have a fun conversation about programs and how to handle it. Rather interesting the way he did it. Heh, and you thought gmail was good? If his setup were standard for all of us, we’d have a heck of a lot LESS e-mail managing problems.
Pulling straight from a quote on The Consumerist:
Here’s Anderson’s list of rules regarding time management:
1. Only touch paper once.
2. Always have your homework done.
3. Return your calls very promptly.
4. Stick to your schedule.

With the recession in full swing more and more twats are turning to illegal, unethical and underhanded means to obtain money. I wrote about credit card skimming in a earlier post here, but thanks to The Consumerist Blog there is a plethora of new information and a pdf guide!
The Consumeristist’s first post has great detailed information about skimmers, how some of the ‘better’ ones look like and more information about how to spot them. The second post hold the pdf with detailed information and a bunch of other goodies in the PDF.
Thanks Consumerist!

Tea Drinkers Beware: Hot Tea Can Kill (eventually)
In a recent article Science Daily, studies show that drinking very hot tea can significantly increase your risk of getting throat cancer. YIKES!. From the article:
Compared with drinking warm or lukewarm tea (65°C or less), drinking hot tea (65-69°C) was associated with twice the risk of oesophageal cancer, and drinking very hot tea (70°C or more) was associated with eight-fold increased risk.
That is rather harsh. For an avid tea drinker, that makes me worry. Though, I was never a fan of the scolding hot tea I have drank it on the rather hot side. The study(ies) conducted show that very warm tea (almost hot) is ok to drink, but fresh made tea isn’t so healthy. By their recommendation: “Instead [they suggest] waiting at least four minutes before drinking a cup of freshly boiled tea, or more generally allowing foods and beverages to cool from “scalding” to “tolerable” before swallowing.”
Thankfully I’ve practiced that for a long time now. Though, I worry for the many people whom I know that drink very hot tea. So, following the words of smart people: wait till your tea cools a bit before drinking!
