I have previously blogged about Bitcoin so was fascinated (and slightly distressed) that there was a $60,000,000 thef t of them. Someone once asked a bandit why they robbed the bank. The answer "because that is where the money is". So why Bitcoin? Because that is where the money is.

As a Buddhist, I don’t understand why anyone would want to take another’s life or how it’s even an option. Yet so many in our country are feeling disempowered and ignored, targeted and disenfranchised and we haven’t yet created a dialogue to heal. In fact, we don’t even know how to hear each other.

If you’re at least a little interested in human creativity and the invention process, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Fail fast to learn faster, failure is necessary to innovate, we must fail to succeed, blah blah blah. The truth is the large majority of us are failure hypocrites. Let me show you what I mean.

Along with job applications, resumes, and interviews, a reference check is one of the most common parts of the hiring process. It remains the one piece of information that is not provided by the applicant him or herself, alleviating some of the problems with information that is provided by the applicant— faking, embellishment, and omissions of previous work or other related experience.
