Self-reliance is a vital key to living a healthy, productive life. To be
self-reliant one must master a basic set of skills, more or less making
them a jack of all trades. Contrary to what you may have learned in
school, a jack of all trades is far more equipped to deal with life
than a specialized master of only one.
While not totally comprehensive, here is a list of 50 things everyone should know how to do. Continue reading ’50 Things Everyone Should Know How To Do’
Todd Huish was nice enough to snap a photo of my Mac Book, which Matt Mullenweg was nice enough to sign when I met him at WordCamp LasVegas. I had a great time at WCLV and am looking forward to the next WordCamp I’m able to attend. Hopefully one here in Phoenix.

Had a great day at WordCamp Las Vegas today. Picked up some great information, and had some good laughs too.
I even got Matt Mullenweg to sign my MacBook. I can sense his good mojo seeping into it even as I type this. (I’ll post a pic later) I should mention, for anyone who hasn’t met Matt, he is a really nice person. He’s the guy who made WordPress what it is today. He’s created an amazing product, gives it away for nothing, and just really has a passion for what he’s doing. It’s good to see a nice person succeed by doing good work and giving away the results of it. Thanks for signing my MacBook… now it’s a MattBook.
One of the speakers today was Chris Brogan, who had us rolling in the aisles with his crazy antics. (Video of the event below).
If you’re a blogger, there were some great blogging tips and some generally good information today. You can check out videos of all the speakers at http://www.ustream.tv/vegasgeek
Lorelle VanFossen gave a great talk about Woopra (and I forgot to get a beta invitation from her… dammit) I don’t see the video on there, and it may have been too dark in the room to see her presentation. But Woopra is certainly a great tool for bloggers and worth a look.
Michael Dorausch gave a fantastic talk about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) that is packed with great information about basic SEO for your WordPress blog.
And another talk that I really enjoyed was Geoff Kleinman, who talked managing a blog that has multiple authors. Really great stuff.
As a prank, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak sometimes buys uncut sheets of $2 bills from the U.S. Treasury and has them bound into booklets. Then, when buying small items, he’ll pull out a booklet and cut off a few bills with scissors.
This is perfectly legal, but it’s caused at least one alarmed inquiry by the Secret Service.
