Honestly Now: New Years Resolutions Suck

Check out our blog for video clips from Tereza about techniques that work. It’s about personal goal setting, not guilt-ridden recipes for failure.

On the Passing of Vaclav Havel
By the People, To the People
Most people who know me know my parents defected from Czechoslovakia, and that its Velvet Revolution changed my life. I went from being “from nowhere” to somewhere.

Amazing story of how screen godess Hedy Lamar pioneered wireless technology. Funfact: I first heard of her via Little Shop of Horrors: “Do you want a Cadillac car/Or a guest spot on Jack Paar/How ‘bout a date with Hedy Lamarr? You gonna git it.” Anyone else? Gleeks?

She was a nice comment troll, though. She apologized.
