(Not Really) Weekly Notes

I had planned to write Weekly Notes every week. But that obviously haven’t worked out.

Here are things that I’ve found out or read or listened to these past few weeks:

1. A few great episodes from Tim Ferriss Show:
   • Episode #177 — Seth Godin — some useful tidbits about marketing and brands.
     Memorable quote: “Brands are built around the edges.”
   • Episode #189 — with Shay Carl — he is very enthusiastic, I loved it.
   • Episode #194 — about Placebo effect — just wow! I didn’t know it’s that powerful.
   • Episode #195 — An interview with David Heinemeier — so inspiring!
     
2. I bought a game on Steam but haven’t played yet, Pilgrims.
   
3. Animals prefer food that requires effort to obtain over food that is simply served on a plate. It’s called –contrafreeloading. There is one animal that is an exception and prefers to be served — can you guess which one? (Answer’s at the end of this post.)
   
4. This article about why you should work with the garage door up.
   
5. The Most Precious Resource is Agency — about rising children, which I don’t have. But it’s also about the fact that education messes us up, which I agree with.
   
6. I have no idea what is it about, but I subscribed: doctorsinclair.com.
   
7. Paul Graham about the beginnings of Airbnb.
   
8. Netflix used a photo without artist’s permission. The artist hired Pixsy to fight it and won. This is a great success story and I hope more, and more people will want to protect their rights. Pixsy is a service where you don’t have to pay anything, they simply take a cut if they win.

That’s it for these (not) Weekly Notes. Until next time!
