Baraka - both format and content was one of the first movies that really made me "think" & realize how many different experiences of being human can exist.

I know this is off topic, but one of the fist / only books that ever really changed my view on the world around me was "Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness" - I have never seen things quiet the same way after reading this.



What is your side business?

Great news, I remember you guys from startup school last year, sounded like an interesting product & market at the time. Congratulations!


How much data are you consuming? $100 a week!!

If you are in a Virgin Mobile (Sprint) 4G area with coverage - then buy one of their hotspots (used on ebay to save $$$), $5 a day buys you all the data you can eat & it stays fast. You can connect more than 2 devices. Save $86 a week.

Alternativly, get on Verizons pre-paid plan: $45 a month for unlimited voice & text, subscribe to auto-pay & you get 1GB a month for free. You can buy an additional 3GB for $20 - you have 90 days to use up the data, the use your iphone as a hotspot.


A bit over 10Gigs a week between two people with a Verizon mifi.

Virgin would give us around 1.7gigs per week at the $5/day. It would be more expensive at our levels.


opps - looks like my $5 a day, 4G all you can eat plan is grandfathered in.

ugh...this is the reason I have not eaten poultry for the last 10 years, except when I am back in Ireland where I can buy organic, free-range chicken from a farmer....it might cost $27 a pop, but as my grandma says....it tastes & has the texture of what chicken used to be like.

I used to love bacon / pork, but cannot eat that stuff anymore after reading about how toxins are formed / retained in the meat.

The only beef I eat is grass-fed pasture raised - no hormones or antibiotics.

My opinion is that you pay for your health one way or the other, either in preventing illness or after you become ill, there is no escaping the high cost of staying healthy in western, urban centers.


You can get good poultry in the US if you go out of your way for it and are willing to pay for it. Even if you leave ethics out of it, the taste and texture difference between a $17 chicken and an $8 chicken is pretty huge.


"there is no escaping the high cost of staying healthy in western, urban centers."

You can go largely vegetarian, eating meat only rarely. But you have to take care that your diet is balanced.

It's also a great way to save energy. I recall reading once that going even mostly vegetarian saves more energy than trading in a Hummer for a Prius.


What resort did you go to? Mind if I ask what the approx. costs where?


http://www.occidentalhotels.com/resort/royal-hideaway-playac...

I booked it through Costcotravel.com. It's much cheaper in the low season. Paid $325/night total including tax; that's for two people and it included round-trip airport transfers ($120 value). If we were to have a dinner experience like what they offer in the US, it would easily run $300+ each time.


This is probably a silly question - but can regular people buy Twitter stock as soon as trading begins?

I am thinking of buying a very small number of shares & "gifting" them to my sister - a super user of their service..more for novelty than as part of any serious investment strategy.


Of course, but you won't know what the price will be until the shares start trading. If there is a lot of demand, they could be priced higher than the offer price.


Doubtful that you'd get it at the IPO price.
