How To Start Meaningful Conversations -link

The ability to start a meaningful conversation is a unique and valuable skill to have. The good news is that anybody can learn and master this skill. The bad news is that most people believe that they can’t learn how to start conversations effectively. Fortunately for you, you’re not one of those people. Even if you are, I’m going to give you some foolproof ways to successfully start a conversation. Whether you are in a networking meeting, café, or just walking down the street, people are everywhere and now it’s time to master how to meet them.

How to Command Respect -link

The bottom line: body language predicts the outcome. Stand tall, sit up straight, avoid fidgety movements with your hands, and smile so that you’re ahead of the game. Clothing is almost as important: wear pressed professional clothes, especially if the situation calls for it. Finally, focus on your actions: open doors and allow others to walk before you. Appear organized with necessary paperwork. Videotape yourself and review your actions to see where you can improve. These small changes could certainly improve your overall outlook on life and also have a profound impact on how you’re treated by your peers

Facebook notifications as your RSS screen saver

I have used the RSS Visualizer that’s on my Powerbook to display headlines from the BBC news feed until now. Tonight my brother noticed the BBC headlines flashing across my idle screen in the blue animated Mac screen saver. He said “can you put your facebook on there?” – So I checked out the options for the screensaver in the system prefrences  and found it pulls from the [News] bookmarks folder in the Safari browser.  I went to my facebook and in my notifications and hit ’subscribe to feed’. Then I took the URL from that page and added into the [News] bookmark folder in Safari. Then when it showed up in the Safari [News] bookmarks folder I selected it as the RSS source in the visualizer options.  Now I have facebook notifications coming up as my screen saver. I’m sure you could do this with another RSS feed too.
