Putting Keyboard Shortcuts to Work in iOS. Do you hold off on booking calls or meeting spots because you don’t feel like typing out a dial-in or an address? Keyboard shortcuts are your solution. Settings — General — Keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts are normally used for abbreviations like “omw” for “on my way! A bonus: your keyboard shortcuts sync across devices thanks to iCloud. I use “@ ” for my email address. Reblogged this from philtoronto. I use “@ ” for my email address. Mdash; Tumblr themes.

http://blog.markchang.net/post/59554553833/constant-change

More of the same. Random musings of @mchang. About a year ago I took a leave of absence from Olin College. To work at edX. It has been a year of immense challenge, excitement, and growth for me personally and professionally. I have been uniquely fortunate to work at such diverse and important ends of the educational disruption spectrum. It is therefore bittersweet for me to move on from. EdX and Olin. My family and I are making our way back to our adopted roots: Seattle. I know that I am leaving a.

more of the same - 26 Rejection Letters

http://blog.markchang.net/post/25971748022/26-rejection-letters

More of the same. Random musings of @mchang. As I was finishing up my PhD at the University of Washington Electrical Engineering department in 2003-2004, I applied for a bunch of faculty positions around the United States and Canada. Something like 30 tenure-track positions. Of those, 26 bothered to write me back with a rejection letter (several didn’t). Instead of recycling these painful memories, I scanned all the letters and have posted them for everyone to see. At least you can read through them and ...

What Men Can Do to End Sexism in Tech: If You See Something, Say Something. Earlier this month, Forbes posted an anonymous first hand account by a female entrepreneur of “ What It’s Like Raising Money As A Woman In Silicon Valley. Ldquo; It made the rounds in tech circles, rising to the top of Techmeme and generating plenty of discussion and awareness. However as I finished reading, my feelings turned to frustration. Shouldn’t this be surprising? Who are supposed to “know better”? The author concludes th...

San Francisco designer Product Designer at Showpad previously UX Designer at Bright, acquired by LinkedIn making it pop (whatever that means) since '89. How strangers can view your private Facebook photos in less than a minute. On 15 August 2014. Your Facebook photos aren’t as private as you think. A dear friend of mine who has been dating on Tinder lately taught me about this great/terrifying new way to stalk people online. It’s called Facebook Graph Search. Oh, your Facebook profile is private, you say?

Introductions and the "forward intro email" | Slobotski's Selections

http://slobotski.com/post/94402536247/introductions-and-the-forward-intro-email

Thoughts and ponderings from my life. Introductions and the forward intro email. On 10 August 2014. Making introductions is one of the most rewarding things we do as backers and builders of startups, and as affiliates of Bloomberg — where we love bringing promising startups to the attention of a company we admire. If you ask me for an introduction, I’ll introduce you to literally anyone I…. Reblogged this from roybahat. Reblogged this from roybahat. Reblogged this from roybahat. Theme built by Thomas.

Being Tim Devane - Closing The Computer

http://tdevane.tumblr.com/post/92572752356/closing-the-computer

July 22, 2014. This weekend I intentionally left my computer at my office on Friday afternoon, forcing myself to abandon the temptation to read, send email, or otherwise try to get shit done via the device I use most heavily during weekends full of work. I went outside - and actually stayed outside. Not just to walk the dog and stop at a coffee shop to send some emails and work on a deck or project. I stayed out later, thinking I’d have some more time to ease into mornings, not waking up and openin...

Also, The trust thing

http://also.roybahat.com/post/91847335194/the-trust-thing

A year ago, we announced Bloomberg Beta — our fund to invest in and make companies, and (we hope) it is a fund built differently. For one, we are extremists on openness— and I want to explain why. There have been some difficult moments this year, and some lovely ones. Yesterday, we had a good one: LinkedIn shared they acquired Newsle, where we were investors. Slow clap for Jonah and Axel on a victory deserved. (We had our second exit a few weeks ago, our role in that one is still unannounced.). For peopl...
