“The Definition Of Mindfulness: The first component involves the self-regulation of attention so that it is maintained on immediate experience, thereby allowing for increased recognition of mental events in the present moment. The second component involves adopting a particular orientation toward one’s experiences in the present moment, an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance. Practicing mindfulness can help people to begin to recognise their habitual patterns of mind, which have developed out of awareness over time and this allows practitioners to respond in new rather than habitual ways to their life.”

A Helpful Comparison
After I read the news of Yahoo!’s massive Tumblr acquisition, I had trouble wrapping my head around what a massive amount of money a billion dollars is, so I came up with this:
Picture an area the size of Rhode Island. Now picture, inside that, a football field full of Statues of Liberty. Stretching to the moon and back. A blue whale. Now picture a billion dollars.
Mala - Changes (James Blake Harmonimix)
Finally out today. This is ridiculously hypnotic, dark, uplifting and epic. Let it play out…
If you slept on it, take a listen to Mala’s Essential Mix where this track closes it out. Seriously.
Moms rule! Wishing all you moms out there a very Happy Mothers Day.
And the highest paid public employee in your state is…
Wow. Interesting layer over recent voting trends too.

Check out excerpts from Ian MacKaye’s speech at the Library of Congress. Yes, the real one in DC.
Make some noise
When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the facts are against you, pound the table.
Some ideas don’t work. The market isn’t ready for them or doesn’t want them. You can tell when every “sale” is a grind. The plow is just too heavy.
Admit it: You’re already dead.
That’s when you get a little crazy.
- Radical shift. Not to the product (if you think it’s good)…but to the process. Break the rules. Complete change of target, price or distribution system.
- Make some noise. Get loud. Every piece of momentum gets a touchdown dance. See who dances with you.
- Lever up. Put everything into the one thing that works. Everything.
There is no excuse for a startup dying quietly.
That’s pride. Newsflash— she isn’t gonna dance with the guy slinking off in the corner.
Die loudly.
Win.
Pop song titles are losing the love
In recent years, the percentage of music hits with love in the song title has been only 30 percent of what it was in 1980. Why? Arika Okrent investigates.
