Squeezing solutions

In which I tell you about solving problems with at least 2 different approaches. And the squeeze theorem.

I was at Barcamp Singapore 8!

I attended some talks at Barcamp Singapore 8 held at Tembusu College. I also gave a talk on “Vlogging on YouTube”, which had less-than-enthusiastic reviews.

Losing weight in different cultures

Generally speaking, “losing weight” is a bad thing in Asian cultures, because it means you don’t have enough food to eat.

Are you afraid to start your own business because…

you’re afraid people will ask for refunds, and you don’t make any money at all.

If you have a steady paycheck, the company paying you your salary is not going to ask for your salary back, right?

But if you have your own business, and if your customers ask for a refund? Then you’d have rendered a service or provided a product, but you don’t get paid.

If that’s the case, why are there so many food stalls here in Singapore? Singaporeans are notoriously picky eaters. It can’t be that every single food stall sells delicious food, right?

What are you truly scared of?

$100 Startup bundle

I respect Chris Guillebeau a lot (possibly even a raving fan). His book $100 Startup is going to be on sale soon. But the more important reason is that you can get that together with a bunch of business-y stuff at Only72 right now for $100 total (yes, that’s totally an affiliate link).

Out of all the products in the bundle, I’m interested in the “How To Make iPhone Apps With No Programming Experience” ebook, the small business infrastructure ebook, and guide to publishing ebook.

You want to start a business? This’ll get you started. Hurry, it’s only on sale for 72 hours (hence the name).

Can’t wait to read Chris’s new book. Have I mentioned that’s a hardcover that will be shipped anywhere you live if you buy the bundle now?
