Well, not exactly – but today’s topics stretch across a wide gamut from how to find your purpose in life in 20 minutes, Autism and its spectrum, to what happened to all of the jumbo jetliners in the air.
Show notes:
We talk about the release of “Rework” a new book by 37 Signals founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson – Does it truly feature new content or is it a rehashing of their Signals vs. Noise blog or “Getting Real” eBook?
Brandon R. introduces the story of Gander, Newfoundland and what happened in the 9/11 aftermath. NBC’s Tom Brokaw produced a “featurette” which aired during the Vancouver Olympics and has subsequently disappeared. It was a very moving piece.
We talk about Temple Grandin and her superb TED talk on Autism and the value of autistic students to Silicon Valley and technical disciplines everywhere.
Brandon T. discusses the results of his purpose of life experiment (proposed by Steve Pavlina) and challenges all of us to complete the exercise by next podcast.
Brandon T. introduces us to two gourmet cupcake shops in Utah County. The battle for the taste buds of Happy Valley residents has commenced!
- New Cupcake Storefront in Provo: The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe
- Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe Official Site
- Cupcake Chic (found at the CoffeePod in Provo)
- also served at the Now I Can Charity Event held at Orem’s Scera Center
