“7. Share or teach what you know As a teacher, I know first-hand the feeling of helping people to learn, of sharing a new way of looking at their world and giving them tools to make their own way in it. No matter what your areas of expertise are, there are people out there who want – no, need – to know it so they can have more power over their own destinies.”

This article was really motivating, and it makes me want to teach even more.

“The main reason that I shoot the majority of my infant sessions with such shallow depth of field is that shots like this, in my humble opinion, help depict how suddenly your whole world is about that little person. Though everything else around you may be out of focus, the one thing that matters is perfectly clear.”

“4. Using fresher spices. If you’ve got a cheap $10 coffee grinder with a rotating blade, I have two things to say to you: It’s useless for grinding coffee, and it’s great for grinding whole spices.”

“16) When you have a selection hold CTRL and use the arrows to move it, one pixel at a time. Use CTRL+SHIFT to move the selection by 10×10 pixels. With CTRL+SHIFT+D (Mac: CMD+SHIFT+T) you can load the last selection used.”

Scientists find bugs that eat waste and excrete petrol - Times Online: Since I was about twelve years old, I wanted to try and invent an alternative fuel made from everyday materials. I’ve since discovered a love for microbiology while getting my Bio degree. If I could help research this even more, I think I would be incredibly fulfilled with my career.

Just realizing that Jason Bateman (of Arrested Development) was the chick’s fiance’ from the movie “Juno.”

That’s when you know you’re a good actor.. when I’m able to fall in love with all the seperate characters (oblivious to the fact that they’re all played by the same person) and not an actor playing all the characters exactly the same way.
