Stuff

OK, I'll admit it. John and I have a lot of stuff. If you've seen our garage, you'd agree.

And now that we're preparing to move (only 20 minutes drive from where we are now), we're having to deal with moving our stuff. So, we've been throwing a lot of stuff out.

Paul Graham's "Stuff" article (a bit long) will inspire you to look at your stuff a little differently too ...

Oh, and as a follow-up, be sure to get hold of George Carlin's CD classic audio-rap: "A Place for My Stuff." At least, it's very funny stuff.

Enjoy!



How to Prepare for the Future's Fasting-Growing Careers

When he began college a few years ago, my nephew attended an orientation meeting for entering freshmen.

The guest speaker there said,
"Take a look around you. Look at the person seated to the right of you, and look at the person seated to your left. By the time you graduate, one of you will be doing a job that does not currently exist."
So, maybe as some of you are entering school this Fall, you might keep this article in mind, from Wired Magazine:

How to Prepare for the Future's Fastest-Growing Careers.

And, of course, this info is helpful to those of us who will continue to change jobs too.
