On Thursday night in New York, a literal stampede happened when a rare Pokémon appeared in Central Park. The rare find was a Vaporeon, which looks like a combination of a cat mermaid, and also that dinosaur from Jurassic Park.

Create daily. Don’t have any other measure of success other than making something you are happy and proud of, right now, and put it out there for the world to see. Do this for twenty years. Then, even if the world does not come to see, ask yourself if this made your soul grow. Did your art get better? Is it something you can point at and be proud of? I can guarantee the answer will be yes. Then, keep doing it for another twenty.

New Research: How Social Media Affects Our Food Habits

If you’re in the business of selling food to consumers you’ve noticed how much has changed since social networking became a part of our daily lives… 

If you hope to have any influence in the food, cooking, restaurant, or health space, you need to have a presence online, especially on YouTube and Pinterest.

Here’s the truth about how Social Media influences eating:

Most buying decisions about what to have for dinner happen 2 hours before mealtime.

Most Millennials learn to cook from YouTube – not from their mother.

At least 2 out of 3 daily meals are now eaten alone; while online.

Most households who do eat together often eat different meals according to taste preferences.

First time online food shoppers first try buying groceries online because they took advantage of a Groupon offer.

Most use a phone while in the store to call or text home and ask the question: “what do you want to eat tonight?”

The best advice for what to cook for dinner tonight comes from: 20% Pinterest, 18% Medical Professional, 25% Website and 89% own network of close friends.

It was concluded that a blood alcohol level of 0.07 (about 2 drinks) made the participants better at creative problem-solving tasks but not necessarily working memory tasks where they had to pay attention to things happening in their surroundings (like driving a car). By reducing your ability to pay attention to the world around you, alcohol frees up your brain to think more creatively.

That's sad but true. There are no famous drunk accountants.
