How to Find Your Purpose and Do What You Love
“Find something more important than you are,” philosopher Dan Dennett once said in discussing the secret of happiness, “and dedicate your life to it.” But how, exactly, do we find that? Surely, it isn’t by luck. I myself am a firm believer in the power of curiosity and choice as the engine of fulfillment, but precisely how you arrive at your true calling is an intricate and highly individual dance of discovery. Still, there are certain factors — certain choices — that make it easier. Every few months, I rediscover and redevour Y-Combinator founder Paul Graham’s fantastic 2006 article, How to Do What You Love. What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. More of Graham’s wisdom on how to find meaning and make wealth can be found in Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age. Alain de Botton, modern philosopher and creator of the “literary self-help genre”, is a keen observer of the paradoxes and delusions of our cultural conceits.

Les douches horizontales, une nouvelle manière de se relaxer
Prendre une douche permet généralement de se détendre. Dornbracht veut amener le concept plus loin en proposant des “douches horizontales”, offrant différents types de jets “relaxants” et une ambiance modulable pour tous les utilisateurs. Pas très pratique pour se laver, certes, les douches horizontales pourraient néanmoins bien devenir une nouvelle tendance. D’après Dornbracht, elles ont en tout cas un énorme potentiel de relaxation. La technologie n’aurait jamais été rendue possible sans eTool, un concept original qui consiste en une longue bar laissant passer l’eau par plusieurs trous jusqu’à une sorte de table de relaxation où l’utilisateur prend place. Ce qui change par rapport à une douche traditionnelle? Le concept semble relativement innovant en et promet une approche différente de la salle de bain. On en parle sur le forum. Articles similaires:

Why Twitter might make lawyers as important as ever
The legal profession has undergone a lot of change and embarked on a lot of soul searching over the past few years, but don’t dismiss it as an anachronism just yet. As the web changes the way citizens consume and digest information — always faster and in greater quantity — it seems likely certain lawyers will find themselves retaining their positions of power, still able to command whatever rates their hearts desire. Journalists are like law professors for the rest of us Already, legal journalists are taking on a role that makes them akin to law professors for the general public. The subject of legal reporting and constitutional interpretation was the subject of a recent panel discussion at Yale Law School’s Information Society Project, during which the panelists — all of whom are journalists who also have law degrees — seemed to agree there’s a big difference between presenting a legal argument to readers and presenting them with what they need or want to know. And then there’s Twitter.
