Came across this amazing image over what is said to be Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule. In a word that become ever so much more time boxed it is a bit soothing to see that the ideas have lingered for hundred of years. I truly love the idea with the much philosophical question in the morning followed by the same one in the evening:
What good have you done today?
Saw this movie a little while back and thought that this is was life is all about. The message is so simple, so clear.
Let’s just be kind on each other.
According to an article at AllThingsD Spotify now have 1.4M signed users for its free trial in the US. Not just that, they also have 175’000 paying customers who can be added to the more than 1.5M paying customers already in Europe. Spotify is becoming a force to recon in the music industry, and fast. Some of the success of the launch is most likely thanks to the lobby ground work that has been performed by Sean Parker for one, prior to the launch; but the service is good enough to stand on its own. If it was not the US launch would never have happened to start with.
So are these numbers good or bad; with what can we compare them? Well to the European market of course.
Can get up in the morning and also feel like donating some money? There’s an app for that. Presenting Snooze, by LetGive, Inc, which is an app which pledge $0.25 each time you snooze. You simply install the app, setup which charity you want your donations to reach and then start snoozing away.
I am one of those who have two alarms set each morning where the first one goes off simply by giving me the pleasure of snoozing once. Due to that I can calculate who much I have to pledge each month using simple math.
Those of you who can stop hitting that snooze button however; this one is for you!
