You Need a Better Networkchrisbrogan.com6 Nov 2014 | 6:37 amI am fortunate to know people like Carey Lohrenz, the first female F14 combat pilot, who gave me the shirt in the picture above. She wrote a great book called Fearless Leadership, by the way, a Wall Street Journal bestseller about how to be a better personal leader and then how to lead others. She's a top shelf kind of person to know, and I intend to connect with her as often as possible over the coming years. I added her to my Whatsapp account for that reason, too.

The wrong question to ask yourself before crowdfundingSeth Godin's Blog on marketing, tribes and respect19 Nov 2014 | 1:59 amA friend explained to me all the reasons for her upcoming Kickstarter campaign. The machine she wanted to buy was sorely needed, it would increase her productivity and also make her day significantly easier--it made perfect business sense. These are all great reasons to borrow money from a bank or a professional investor. They aren't good reasons to crowdfund. No, the right question is, "how will the new financial relationship I offer to my biggest supporters enhance their lives?" There's a huge amount of emotion and story we tell ourselves before we send in money to crowdfund something.

The ugly Christmas sweater business is worth millions21 Nov 2014 | 9:15 amAs an avid sports fan and the owner of Forever Collectibles, a sports memorabilia company in Somerset, N.J., Michael Lewis has seen his share of over-the-top apparel. Still, he wasn't prepared for what he encountered last Dec. 20, when he came to work and found dozens of employees wearing garish sweaters covered in lights, bells, and ornaments. "It really hit me like a brick, because one outfit was more hideous than the next," he says. It turns out it was National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, celebrated since 2011 on the second or third Friday of December. The craze had…
From Bottom Burn to Bonkle, new map shows Britain's rudest place names21 Nov 2014 | 9:09 amLONDON — We've always known Britain had some odd and often rude place names, but this is ridiculous. A new map has collated all of the more — shall we say — challenging names across the country, taking out the conventional towns and cities, and leaving just the more profane. So Bristol is absent, but Butt Mound is clearly marked. You won't find Glasgow, but Gusset shouldn't be a problem.

Singer, top-notch strategist and senior fellow at the New America Foundation in Washington D.C., and Arthur Holland Michel, co-director of the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College in Anandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., about what the future looks like for unmanned aerial technology — or, rather, drones.

The tragedy of the last 10%21 Nov 2014 | 2:29 amIn a competitive market, if you do the work to lower your price by 10%, your market share grows. If you dig in deep, analyze, reengineer and make thoughtful changes, you can lower your price another 10%. This leads to an even bigger jump in market share. The third time (or maybe the fourth, or even before then), you only achieve a 10% savings by cutting safety, or quality, or reliability. You cut corners, certainly. The last 10% costs your workers the chance to make a decent living, it costs your suppliers the opportunity to treat their people with dignity, and it costs you your reputation.
Inventing a tribe20 Nov 2014 | 2:31 amI can't think of a single time that an individual or an organization has created a brand-new worldview, spread it and then led that tribe. There were Harley-type renegades before there was Harley Davidson. There were digital nomads before there was Apple. There were pop music fans before there were the Beatles and Rastafarians before Marley. Without a doubt, a new technology creates new experiences. But the early adopters who gravitate to it were early adopters before we got there. Our job is to find the disconnected and connect them, to find people eager to pursue a goal and give them the…

"This will blow over"18 Nov 2014 | 1:04 pmYour employees notice when you take action. And when you don't. When a storm hits your company, the instinct is to wait it out, to seek shelter, to work to set an agenda, not to let the outside world set it for you. And sometimes this works. But even if the storm passes, your employees remember. They remember the standard you've set and the way things are around here. Every time we give someone the employee of the month parking space for perfect compliance, or fire someone for creating a culture of disrespect, we send a message. Action or inaction are both forms of leadership and standard…
Of course it's been done before18 Nov 2014 | 2:00 amJohn Koenig calls it vemödalen. The fear that you're doing something that's already been done before, that everything that can be done has been done. Just about every successful initiative and project starts from a place of replication. The chances of being fundamentally out of the box over the top omg original are close to being zero. A better question to ask is, "have you ever done this before?" Or perhaps, "are the people you are seeking to serve going to be bored by this?" Originality is local. The internet destroys, at some level, the idea of local, so sure, if we look hard enough…

Making The Impossible Possible: How I Created A Full Time Blogging Income With No Qualifications20 Nov 2014 | 7:33 amImage via Flickr user Susy Morris This is a guest contribution from freelance writer Stacey Corrin. It was a dark day in November 2012 when I first began to blog. Rain lashed the windows of the home we'd just moved into. Removal boxes lay strewn across the floor and the cries of my newborn twins rang shrill in my ears. I felt trapped, with no escape plan. Being a new parent can do that to you. It can make you feel like the only person in the room. It can sap your energy, your personality, your identity. Yet it can also put you on a path you might never consider possible. Today I want to…

And with as many benefits that come with blogging, who wouldn't want to at least check out this lifestyle?

Did Your Blog Have a Tipping Point? Here's How My 2 Blogs Grew18 Nov 2014 | 7:13 amTime for another reader question from a recent member webinar on ProBlogger.com. Did you experience a "tipping point" in readership at some point or was it just steady growth? This is actually a question I often ask full time bloggers who I meet because I love to hear the back story about how their blog broke through to have enough readers to make a living from. What I've found in asking the question is that there are many different pathways to full time blogging. This can perhaps be illustrated by sharing how my two main blogs grew in terms of readership because they could…

Look Beyond the Sniper Rifle11 Nov 2014 | 10:29 amI had the pleasure of interviewing Brandon Webb, CEO of Force 12 Media about many things: his writing, his web empire, his books, his view on ISIS, and a lot more. His background, such as it is, includes having run the US Navy SEAL sniper training program and training several of the world's deadliest snipers. What ended up being interesting to me is that Brandon is often brought onto shows to comment as a US Navy SEAL, but they tend to underutilize his perspective, or ask general questions like, "Boy, it sure is hard to get through your training as a SEAL, isn't it?"…

Follow the Value29 Oct 2014 | 12:19 pmMy business is to equip owners. I know that sounds fluffy. The current way I do that is through courses and other educational experiences.

Delivering value to owners is the goal. Follow the Value I'm obsessed with delivering value.

How We Built Our Careers Online (And What You Can Learn From It)18 Nov 2014 | 6:00 amThe two biggest concerns for the average blogger are obscurity and sustainability. In other words … for the vast majority of us who set sail creating content online, we want to first develop an audience; and then, once we have an audience, we want to find a way to earn a living from our content. The first concern can feel daunting enough, because building an audience isn't easy. The second concern can feel damn near impossible — because despite countless examples of people who have done it, sometimes we struggle to see ourselves succeeding in the same way. Which is silly. So…
What You Need to Know to Make a Living as a Blogger Right Now17 Nov 2014 | 6:00 amThe average blogger only has two concerns. The first is obscurity. She is a total stranger in a vast world loaded with people — unknown, inconspicuous, and insignificant. Odd, considering there are so many people online. But it's a simple law: We all start at the bottom. One recent study discovered that the average British blogger had only 285 subscribers, received 18 comments a day, and earned about $120 a month. That's the reward for someone who'd been blogging for two years and eight months. Yes, those surveyed also worked full-time jobs. In an informal poll,…

Re/code kills comments: I have something to say21 Nov 2014 | 4:39 amEarlier this week, Re/code's Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher announced that the site was doing away with comments—the idea being that social media is now so prevalent that those who wish to air their views can contact writers and editors via Twitter and Facebook. I'm not entirely sold on their reasoning, as I would hardly welcome being splattered with reader comments in a Twitter stream that I largely use for my personal pleasure, nor do I believe that 140 characters is enough to express complex ideas. And while Facebook is an option, I believe there's some value in comments appended…
Ask the iTunes Guy: Missing artwork, shuffling iTunes 12, and gifting movies21 Nov 2014 | 3:45 amIt's time for a grab-bag column. Some of this week's questions deal with iTunes 12: What do you do when album art disappears? How do you mark TV shows as watched? And how do you play music in shuffle mode in iTunes 12? I also look at a question about gifting a movie you've purchased from the iTunes store, and an app-updating problem with iOS 8.Disappearing album artwork Q: I've noticed in iTunes 12 that some of my albums don't display artwork, even though I've manually added album art to all my music. I also found this with some of my movies. Is there any way to get the artwork…
Bugs and Fixes: What's with Yosemite renaming shared computers?21 Nov 2014 | 3:30 amThere's a mysterious network bug in OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The symptom is that the shared name (as viewed in the Sharing System Preferences pane) of one or more of your OS X devices keeps changing. It may start out, for example, as "My MacBook." Check back later and it will be "My MacBook (1)." Still later, it will have morphed to "My MacBook (2)" ad infinitum. These changes occur without any action on the part of the user. If a number gets appended to the name of your computer in Sharing, you're probably a victim of the bug described here.To read this article in full or to leave…

Why You Should Include Your Developer In The Design Process21 Nov 2014 | 5:06 amShould designers be able to code? This topic never seems to die, with its endless blog posts, Twitter discussions and conference talks. But the developer's involvement in the design process seems to be addressed very little. This is a shame, because developers have a huge amount to add to discussions about design. The unfortunate truth is that many designers have a somewhat elitist attitude towards design. They believe that only they can come up with good design ideas. That is simply not true. Everybody has the ability to make good design suggestions, including developers. Admittedly, a…
Refining Your Mobile Onboarding Experience Using Visual Analytics20 Nov 2014 | 1:00 amIn the wonderful world of millions of mobile apps, many users suffer from ADD (app deluge disorder), and no aphorism looms larger for developers than "You only get one chance to make a first impression." Once a large group of people are downloading your app, you've already won half the battle and have accomplished your primary goal. Now, keeping them engaged post-download is your next one. This is where onboarding takes center stage. Being involved in a mobile analytics firm, I see firsthand what challenges app publishers experience. In this article, I will go over the importance of…
The State Of Animation 201418 Nov 2014 | 5:59 amThe post-Flash era is hardly free of animation. CSS animation is quickly becoming a cornerstone of user-friendly interfaces on mobile and desktop, and JavaScript libraries already exist to handle complex interactive animations. In the wake of so much "CSS versus JavaScript animation" infighting, a new API specifically for web animation is coming out that might just unite both camps. It's an exciting time for web animation, and also a time of grave miscommunication and misinformation. In 2014, I had the chance to travel the world to talk about using animation in user interfaces and…

How A Designer Can Find A Job They Will Truly Love14 Nov 2014 | 6:01 amThere comes a time in nearly everyone's career when changing jobs is the natural next step. As a designer, you might start looking for a new job when you feel you have hit a wall with your current employer or when greater opportunities are present at other companies. After taking the necessary steps to prepare for a job search, like updating your resume and nurturing a small savings account to provide a little cushion, think about what you want in your next job. Planning for job requirements, salary and perhaps location before applying is obvious, but many people forget to set criteria for…

This Photographer Did Something I Just Love!20 Nov 2014 | 9:01 pmA few weeks ago, I posted a link to a very short video tutorial I did over on the new KelbyOne Blog on how to use a camera on a monopod, with a fisheye lens, and trigger it with a wireless remote (here's the link) for a really unique overhead look (it's a lot easier than you'd think).This week, a photographer named Konstantin Articus in Germany did something I so love — he took that monopod/fisheye lens idea that I showed for use in sports, and he took that idea and applied it to something completely different, and he got just wonderful results (see below).Thanks so…

34 Vertigo Inducing Bird's Eye View Photos21 Nov 2014 | 5:00 amLast week I rounded up a bunch of worm's eye view images so this week we're going the other way and taking the high road with bird's eye view photos.

Portrait Consultations: Two Questions That Make A Big Difference20 Nov 2014 | 10:00 amI vividly remember the first time I was asked to take photos for someone that I didn't know. We had friends in common, and she had seen some of the photos that I had taken of friends and family, but we had never met. We talked over the phone, and arranged a time for me to come to her home and take some photos of her daughter. The big day arrived a week or so later, and I was SO nervous. I wasn't sure what her home looked like, or what the lighting situation would be, or whether her daughter was sitting up by herself yet or not. I didn't know how long I should stay, whether I…
Photographing in Airports20 Nov 2014 | 5:00 amAhh, the joy of travel photography, who doesn't love that? But like everything in life, all that glitters is not gold. For travel photography, you actually need to travel, and in many circumstances, air travel and lengthy waits in airports are common. Nobody likes being stranded in a terminal for hours, or experiencing delays, missed or long connections, all of which happen pretty often. But it can be different for us, the ones who embrace photography. Instead of just sitting there doing nothing, we can have some fun doing what we enjoy the most. At least, that's what I do – and…

Six Months with the Fujifilm X-T119 Nov 2014 | 5:00 amYou have probably read about it. You may have a friend who bought one. You may have noticed it on the streets. You have most certainly seen one in a camera store window. The Fujifilm X-T1 is currently one of the most popular mirrorless cameras, and is the model that is persuading many people to leave their DSLRs, be they enthusiast or professional photographers. For the past six months, I have been using it in various situations to discover exactly why people have fallen head over heels for Fujifilm's high-end model. Dials versus menu system I began using the X-T1 during a trip in April…

What's for tea?,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: What's for tea?: Englisch, wie es nicht im Schulbuch steht (Taschenbuch)
I just loved this very witty and informative book revolving around that panacea 'a nice cup of tea'. Claudia Hunt takes the reader on a leisurely and entertaining stroll through the English way of life, we visit pubs, a cider house, a 'greasy spoon', Highgate cemetery, London parks etc. She chats in a dialogue with the reader, in German and English, about cream teas, the Boston Tea Party, the German Royals, Oscar Wilde, Dinner for One, to name only a few of the fascinating and curious anecdotes presented in this little gem of a book 'about tea and other trivialities' as she puts it. Each chapter ends with a question and answer section on the English expressions interwoven into the text. A chance to learn 'real English' rather than 'school English'. I'd say it's a 'must read' for anyone interested in polishing up their knowledge of the English language and the English way of life. And you will definitely be amused.

Investors remain cautious around U.S. ETFs and stocks, as concern builds over the state of the eurozone and the looming fiscal cliff in the United States, according to an article published by the Wall Street Sector Selector.
In addition, Apple's lackluster earnings report and an unresolved U.S. budget deficit are adding to investors' fears. On the bright side, weekly first jobless claims eased and the U.S. traded deficit contracted, the article said.
Here are yesterday's movements of major ETFs outlined by John Nyaradi, contributor and publisher of Wall Street Sector Selector:
- SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY), down 1.2 percent
- PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM: QQQ), down 1.5 percent
- iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSEArca: IWM), down 1.35 percent
- SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca: GLD), up 0.89 percent

Imagine being the bloke who, supposedly, cost your team a place in the World Cup final.
For Wales, that man was their captain, Sam Warburton.
Just 23 at the time, Warburton was still young and impressionable. After a standout tournament he ran on to Eden Park for the semifinal against an underperforming French outfit.
Blood was pumping. Emotions were high. This was easily the biggest match of his short career. He was determined to lead from the front; set the tone.
Just 18 minutes into the match, Wales' second youngest captain was sent off for a tip tackle on French wing Vincent Clerc.
Never mind what happened for the following 62 minutes, Warburton was perceived to have lost the match for Wales. As far as the Welsh public were concerned, their captain had failed them.
On returning home, Warburton was subjected to suffocating criticism from all over his country.
New Zealand has similar foundations when it comes to rugby - Graham Henry was only half joking when he suggested fleeing the country had the All Blacks failed for a second time at the World Cup on his watch last year.
According to Kiwi-born Welsh coach Warren Gatland, Wales is worse in this regard.
"It's a fishbowl here," he explains. "New Zealand is very regional. You don't tend to know what's happening politically in other regions. Here everyone knows each other's business because it's such a fishbowl. Whatever happens in Cardiff they know in Swansea within hours.
"It's challenging at times. The people here are very passionate and knowledgeable. They are very opinionated. They often disagree with what we've got to say."
It's no wonder Warburton's form has dipped considerably since the World Cup.
Dropping your captain is a big call, but that's exactly what happened to the openside flanker in last week's shock defeat to Samoa.
There is a school of thought that Warburton has never recovered from the ignominy of that tackle. And when you hear him talk about attempting to escape the widespread condemnation after five straight losses, it quickly becomes clear how hard it would have been for him to shed the burden of last year's incident inside the fishbowl.
In the past two weeks the abuse directed at Warburton was so strong his sister closed her Twitter account.
"After the two defeats [to Argentina and Samoa] I didn't look at my Twitter account for a few days. I didn't look at the press, I didn't watch television," he said. "I just spent time with family to reflect and get away from rugby."
This week Warburton can't afford to carry a chip on his shoulder, or suffer from a lack of confidence. He has been recalled to mark rested All Blacks captain Richie McCaw for a second time.
"You're not going to be successful for your entire career. There's always going to be ups and downs. It's how you manage that," he said.
