"Knowledge Plus Action Minus Fear"

Great post by Hulbert Lew http://www.thechangeblog.com/knowledge-plus-action-minus-fear/ “Anything in the world is possible. But there is always one thing that stops us from doing it: fear… But one thing that cancels out all fear is having knowledge of what you’re going up against and then taking action.” I think challenging your fears is something everyone should do. I...

Just do it, find your spot/niche and CrushIt! gary: Can you get to that one spot? There is a level that everyone needs to get to, to really win.

Google Nexus One Review

kevinrose: What I like: - UI is much better, OS seems fairly fast and responsive. - Google Maps Navigation. - Solid HTC hardware. About the size of an iPhone, feels good in the hand/pocket. - The bundled apps are excellent with (obviously) deep Google integration. - 5MP camera w/flash, options to set white balance, effects, location, and focus. What I didn’t like: - Some UI inconsistencies...
