The Intentional Community of Deep Springs College | Frank H. Wu I recently returned from my twice-annual trip to Deep Springs College as a Trustee. The unique school demonstrates how communities are created intentionally and why it is so important they be sustained by a sense of mission. The school is unlike any other. It is highly-selective, full-scholarship, and located on a student-run cattle ranch. Although it historically has been all-male as well, the governing board has voted to transition to co-education. The school emphasizes the pillars of academics, labor and self-governance. Deep Springs was founded in 1917 by entrepreneur L.L. His goal was to prepare his charges for a lifetime of service leadership, before that term had been invented. Offering a two-year liberal arts curriculum, Deep Springs attracts students with the most impressive academic credentials who are willing to give up alcohol, television and even leaving campus during term. I enjoy the journey to Deep Springs, traveling across the infinite landscape of the American West.

6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Navy had little to show for it in the early hours of June 4, 1942. Just about every aircraft that took on the Japanese that day was destroyed, and all without delivering any serious damage. In short, the Battle of Midway started off like the Battle of Endor, only with every fighter in the Rebel Fleet crashing into the Death Star's deflector shield. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp.

Networking Tips for Entrepreneurs Ten Tips on How to Make it in the Meet-up Scene The technology meet-up scene is an odd co-mingling of entrepreneurs, engineers, social media mavens, service providers, and up and comers. Here are ten actionable tips to make the most of your meet-ups. • Meet More – the key to any meet-up is first to meet others. Seems like that would be rather self explanatory.
