Having A Toxic Boss Hurts Your Health & Happiness [Infographic]

I haven’t worked a 9-5 Monday through Friday job in so long, I can barely remember what it was like. Now I work about 14 hours a day instead of 8 (because that is what entrepreneurs do), but I don’t have a traditional boss in an office looking over my shoulder all the time. It’s a trade-off, which is why finding your passion and loving what you do is so important. I’ve often written in my articles that if I got a traditional job now, I’d ...

10 Superheroes Primed For Avengers 2

Sequels, Assemble! Yeah, like anyone was really surprised that the mega blockbuster hit The Avengers has already been tapped for a sequel. Not only did the movie rock everyone’s socks off, but it made over 1 billion dollars so far. Eat it, Harry Potter! As a lifelong comic book geek, the Avengers movie was pretty much perfect for me. I’m a huge Captain America fan, and the Avengers was always one of my favorites. I completely loved the team dynamic, the action sequences, the humor, and ...

Life-Size Yoda Cake For The Ultimate Birthday

It has become a lot easier for movie geeks and fans to commemorate their love for movies when their birthday comes, and they choose a cake. Long gone are the boring and ultimately ordinary round cakes that we once used to love when we were kids. Instead, there are now cakes that could literally be confused with the actual characters in the movies you love. It must be an odd and unexpected feeling of agony to cut a piece and then eat it when the cake ...

Diablo III Concept Art By Hellboy Artist Duncan Fegredo

Blizzard Entertainment launched their highly anticipated game, Diablo III, on May 15th. The launch was met with plenty of issues that left anxious players unable to enjoy the game they’ve been salivating for since it was announced in 2001, over a decade ago! This post isn’t going to spend time bombing a company or property that will certainly continue to top sales charts, regardless of all the flaming and review bombs being written online. Breathe people. Everything will be alright. Blizzard will fix the issue, and you’ll be credited for their errors. Breathe. Being ...

The Growing Impact Of Internet On Education [Infographic]

It sure is an exciting time for the nimble and innovative! With mainstream adoption, the Internet and social media have pervaded every aspect of our lives. In the classroom, the Internet is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning, and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could change how we describe and demonstrate concepts, assign projects, and evaluate progress. This infographic shows how the Internet ...

World’s Largest Chocolate Sculpture (9 Tons Of Chocolate)

Whoa! This is awesome! Breaking a world record seems to be a popular way to get a lot of free publicity lately. We see a lot of companies gather all their employees to break world records to celebrate their company’s anniversary, to promote a good cause, or even just to raise morale. About six months ago, the creative people at World’s Finest Chocolate broke a world record by making the largest chocolate bar which weighed in at about 12,000 pounds. You can read about that here. ...

Comparing User Activity Across Social Services [Infographic]

I think we have all seen the decline of interaction on Twitter, and how the service has become somewhat a little less, well I wouldn’t want to say interesting, but it surely has become less of what it was a couple years ago. Personally, I think Twitter lost out on a lot of users when they started messing around with the way that retweets work. The way that the direct messages are not working correctly is also a big culprit in the decline of the service, ...

How To: Woo A Blogger For Publicity

Bloggers are a marketer’s dream come true. If you can get on their good side, they will be one of your company’s biggest brand ambassadors. Their existing fan base already trusts their recommends. This means if they talk about you, your company will get in front of potential customers usually not within your reach. Part of the DNA of true bloggers is the fact that they cannot contain their excitement and passion when they love a product and feel it is their duty to tell the ...

Mickey Mouse Sugar Rush: Mickey Oreos, Cupcakes & Cake Pops

Have you ever been on the Internet reading something and then you see another interesting link somewhere on the page and you click on it? Everybody has done that, right? You read that page and then click on another link, and this goes on and on until you find yourself on a website and you have no idea how you really got there. It’s completely off the topic that you were originally reading about, but it’s interesting, so you read on. This is the story of ...

Understoodit Classroom App: Press Red Button If You’re Confused

It’s early in the morning, and you’re sitting in class. You pulled an all-nighter yesterday, and the evening before you may or may not have been out partying. You’re not at peak performance, to say the least. And then the prof enters the room, and it’s all over. Confusion time. While some university confusion could be eliminated through diligent study, fewer hangovers, and far fewer all night study sessions, some of it could also be reduced if the profs actually knew that their students were confused. ...

Create Your Own Han Solo Carbon Freezing Star Wars Moment

I spent many a day in my childhood as Han Solo. No, not the leather outfit, but pretending to be the space saving, evil empire fighting, girl getting (well trying anyway), hero of the Star Wars films. I am not sure if most of my friends enjoyed the game as much as me because they would always have to be R2-D2, C-3PO or Chewbacca. Any girl in the game was obviously Princess Leia, and it always depended on her whether Han Solo was saving the girl ...

Mario’s Graffiti World: Mario & Family Redesigned In Graffiti

A few months ago, I wrote about a graffiti artist named Tilt who designed a room he called the Panic Room for a hotel in France. It caught my attention because one half of the room (and everything in it) was completely white, and the other half was full of bright, loud, beautiful graffiti art. It had a whole left brain/right brain thing going on, and it was really inspiring. If you’d like to see the pictures, you can click over to Panic Room. That graffiti ...
