9 Things You Realize After You Die Annie Kagan – OmTimes | Three weeks after he died, my brother Billy woke me at sunrise and began describing what was happening to him in the afterlife. At first I thought that grief was causing me to imagine his voice. But as my brother began sharing cosmic secrets with me, secrets I couldn’t ignore, I became his student. Billy taught me that when you’re born, that big pop gives you a kind of amnesia. One of the main things we’re doing on planet earth is trying to remember the things we forgot.

Fighting Our Inner Demons (15 pieces) When you first glance at Jonathan Bartlett's illustrations, they'll probably remind you of Norman Rockwell's classic paintings.

But look a little closer and you'll notice a darker theme running throughout. His illustrations show man fighting within himself; our lifelong quest to find answers where none seem to exist. Similar to Rockwell, you can also appreciate Bartlett's wonderful, storytelling style.
Hernán Casciari: “El mercado editorial no necesita ayuda para que su decadencia sea completa” No se tardan más de diez segundos en conocer el mundo del antes proletario de la cultura y hoy propietario de medios de producción cultural Hernán Casciari (Mercedes, Argentina, 1971), los necesarios para pasar la vista por las cuatro paredes de su anodino despacho. Sin embargo, esta habitación es un mundo donde caben otros mundos: da la sensación de que todo puede suceder si él está dentro (que es casi siempre). Si yo fuera psicólogo, esto no sería una entradilla sino un diagnóstico, pero a la vista de sus síntomas no me atrevo a trazar una línea entre la genialidad y la locura (lúcida). Por suerte para él, en la planta inferior habita el hemisferio izquierdo de su cerebro, que responde al nombre de Cristina y fue el motivo de que emigrara a Cataluña hace ya diez años y, por suerte para todos, Nina, la hija de ambos y el motivo de que vaya a seguir entre nosotros por lo menos otra década más.

the Startup Universe, the design process during last months we’ve been working for Visual.ly and with the great graphic designer Ben Willers designing and developing the Startup Universe interactive Data Visualization. Our design aim has been to provide a “visual access” to the Crunch-base database, and the idea that was driving all of our process was the one to provide an easy environment allowing users to go back and forth form a Vc centric view, to a startup centric view, to a founders centric view. This to provide the more information we could about “where did money go, and when” (i.e. where meaning in which startup, and as an aggregate level, in which categories), “which startups did their best, and when”/ meaning the year they have been founded, and the rounds they have been more successful in (as an average), and also, “the most visionary founders” / meaning: who really was so good and founded some really (and lots of!) well funded startups over the years?
TED talk on choices and happiness. how having more choices , or extra time to make up our mind about things, doesnt actually lead us to happiness. it actually makes us less content. study showed that people who were given the option to go back and change their mind on things were less content than people who had to make a decision and stick to it. when we are stuck with a situation, our mind works to confirm we made the best decision. by mkeen Feb 17
