Haha yeah, we should :P

#1: Turn off the fan :>

Living far away from work => Living within biking distance (Best decision of 2010)

Desktop computer => Laptops

TV => No TV (Best decision of ~2003)

Studying human stuff => Studying IT stuff (Best decision of 2009)

In my studies: Focus on academia => Focus on real world problems

Taking myself seriously => Not taking myself seriously

Living in multiple countries => Living in Denmark (the country I grew up in)

gEdit => Vim

multiple folders, commented out code, etc => Git + github

Facebook => Github, Twitter, Hacker news, meetups, etc

Did so for me too at first. Kind of ironic actually :)

I sort of did the same thing and occasionally get the same feeling.

I committed to lifting weights 3 times a week though (in the morning), as a way to keep myself going as it makes me get out of the door and I come home refreshed, ready to get to work.

Other than that, eat healthy, get proper sleep, and meet people!

Works for me :)

This isn't, and shouldn't be, the focus, but an added bonus it that maybe, just maybe, something valuable will come out of such projects.

Wasn't that how a Mining company from Minnesota (3M) ended up doing post-its?

Am I the only one who found the idea with tiny bubbles at the scrollbar more interesting than the story itself? Front-end developers' curse :P

I'm curious what others think about #3 (The vertical scrollbar). Traditionally it's considered messing with the defaults of the browser, and wasting precious screen space; but I hear from more and more (graphical) designers that they'd like me to stop the page from jumping by doing exactly this.

To make a general statement like that based on a study purely on USA, seems wrong.

I used to live in Denmark where they (according studies I won't bother digging up now) have both the happiest people on the planet AND pay the highest percentage in tax.
