During this holiday season, I hope you are grateful for the things that are great in your life,
that you choose what you can use from the things weren't great …
and that you invest those lessons in your future.
The hardest part of finding a better way is often just remembering that there might be one.

Here is the video.
This infographic shows you what happens in 60 seconds on the Internet.
I just came from the malls, and based on the number of close parking spaces I found, a lot of people are doing their holiday shopping online.
This chart displays a wide range of actions taken (like e-mails checked, Tweets posted, or songs downloaded) each minute on the Internet.
Interesting.
I know what I want for the holidays ... an amazing island built right on a beautiful yacht.
HT KD
This was created by UK-based Yacht Island Designs.
As you can see, the design is inspired by tropical islands, with huts, a pool ... and to top that ... a volcano guaranteed not to erupt.
Since it's a yacht, it comes packed with VIP rooms, arcades, gym, lounges, spas and even a helipad. What a great place to do business?
The back of the yacht has a retractable beach deck and dock. Why go to the trouble of getting out to sea if you can't wake-board, jet-ski, or swim; right?
If you want to know how much it would cost to fuel-it-up or operate, it's probably not in your price range.
Hope you are having a happy holiday season.
Here is a video that shows how an Australian Australian presenter failed to amuse the Dalai Lama with a Dalai Lama joke.
The play-on-words "joke" he used is: the Dalai Lama walks into a pizza store and asks if they can make him one with everything.
The Dalai Lama's response is funnier than the joke.
He could have added: The Dalai Lama then gave the cashier $20 and asked for his change.
The cashier replied: Change comes from within.
Inspiring and Fun! Seems appropriate for the start of the Holiday Season.
Beware, these three short videos may encourage you to travel, learn something new, move your body, or create something.
3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food.

They say memory is the second thing to go; Rick Perry probably forgot the first.
This is a clip of the presidential hopeful coming up blank in a debate. Perry struggled to remember the names of three federal agencies he has promised to eliminate. Two out of three isn't bad. Oops!
Pretty funny.
While eating dinner a few nights ago, I heard a 3-year-old scream "iPad, iPad, iPad" until her parents handed one over. Was it just a child's tantrum ... or does it mark another step in our journey to the post-pc age?
To imagine the future of technology, sometimes it helps to look back. Here's a clever way to appreciate how much technology has changed the things we love to do.
And we are now moving beyond even that.
I just spent a week in Asia, and didn't bring a laptop ... relying, instead, on just an iPad and an iPhone 4S.
In 2009, Microsoft released a Productivity Future Vision. Watch how future technology will help people make better use of their time, focus their attention, and strengthen relationships while getting things done at work, home, and on the go.
They just released a updated view into their Productivity Future Vision. It is worth watching.
And here is a behind scenes look at how Microsoft Envisioning Labs conceived and made the Future Vision videos.
Amazing!
The World Economic Collapse Explained in Less than Three Minutes
Can a funny video really explain Europe's economic woes?
It can if it asks how and why broke economies lend money to other broke economies that can't possibly pay them back?
It is an entertaining video.
This would be funnier if it wasn't so true.
