/r 1920x1080 please

on it! - sneakily making these in class

FYI: The default resolution a 27" thunderbolt display is 2560x1440. If you're interested in supporting a lot of different resolutions, you may consider starting there and scaling down.

Thanks for the suggestion - point taken. :) I've uploaded larger versions on the blog.

I always wonder, will what works for pg and other famous people work for me, a relative zero entity? It's great that they have these ideals now that they are esteemed critical thinkers, businessmen, and artists. "Would they have been more or less successful if they had had these ideals back then?" is the question that I would like answered.

Agreed. Note the source -- folks who had gone home to die and spoke with a palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware. There are many people who die without access to in-home hospice care.* Overall they tend to be poorer and I would bet they have some other regrets not mentioned here (and I'd be interested to read up on them). Still, it's hard to argue with this advice... * I believe Medicare (covers most Americans over 65)…

I guess that is what gets me with advice. Often times it sounds just "Take only the good parts of this idea and apply it to your life!"

If you define something to be only the positive effects of something else, then by definition you cannot have any negative effects of the first something. "Live a happy life!" is that sort of statement. "Make friends!" is another.
