We’re very excited to be part of the next issue of STEM ED Magazine. If you’re a teacher who’s working in STEM/STEAM, you should absolutely be keeping an eye on this magazine. Heaps of great stories and inspiring ideas in every issue.

Thread about personal and resonant feedback.
Years ago, I was flying home from Gencon. My seat mate was a TV writer and gamer, so naturally we ended up talking shop.
He was more interested in learning about the craft of design, and I was of course more interested in his craft.

I'm still in the early stages of building a reputation, but here's an algorithm that (I think) is working:
1. Meet lots of people.
2. Be helpful to as many of them as possible.
3. Don't screw anyone over.
4. Play the long game & don't be transactional.
5. Repeat #1-#4. Forever. xitter.cf/twentyminutevc/status/…
Fantastic to hear @htaneja discuss the secret sauce to @gcvp expansion to the west coast and how to accelerate reputation building. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you did this so successfully @rebeccak46 @eriktorenberg @lpolovets buff.ly/2uOg0ZA #startup

we're writing a book, and @parisba wanted to include a galaxy brain meme in it. problem is, we don't have the rights to those images.
so, i made some, and i release them under CC-0 license, so you can use them for anything at all. (4 of 5 pics here, see thread for the rest!)
ALT An abstract image of a man's head. His brain is visible inside.
ALT The same image, but his brain is now glowing brighter, and bright sparks are present.
ALT A view looking down on the same man's head. Bright blue rays are emanating from the brain. A galaxy is visible behind him.
ALT The same man, now standing over the entire universe. His brain is now so bright that his face is difficult to see. Concentric circles are visible around his head.

I just heard about Tony Hsieh's passing and it's hitting me. Back in the early days of Simple I tried to poach his head of customer service. He found out and made a counter-offer: we could come to meet his team and they'd teach us about how they operated.
