Not always wild, not always fiction. Thursday, November 07, 2013. Make it a Great Speech. I attended Ryan Avery's Make it a Great Speech this evening. Here are my notes from the speech. 1 Simple always wins. Ie keep the speech simple. Intro should always tie back to conclusion. Body should be three stories that all match the same theme. You can't be the hero of your own story. Someone teaches you something. Number one sense that links us is smell. Can you smell your speech? 2 Make it impactful. Why do yo...

Wild Fiction: February 2015

Not always wild, not always fiction. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Have come up with a fantastic system to proactively use the star ratings we give to our service provider. If an Uber driver doesn’t maintain an average 4.6 star rating then they will be deactivated. Today I learned that customers also have a star rating and the driver assigns stars to how you were as a passenger. I have no idea what they base this on. Your conversation? Using that information the airlines could seat all the 1 star problem...

Not always wild, not always fiction. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. This is a pluot tree that I planted on 5 March 2014. It has three varieties of pluot on it:. It flowered and some fruit set. Only one of the pluots survived and it grew to the size of a ping pong ball and then one day mysteriously disappeared so I never got to try it. Links to this post.

Wild Fiction: How hard is your water?
http://blog.wildfiction.com/2015/03/how-hard-is-your-water.html
Not always wild, not always fiction. Sunday, March 01, 2015. How hard is your water? I've been trying to work out why there's so much calcium build up in the drain in my shower. I posted a question to Stack Exchange: How can I remove calcium from a drain? And that lead to the suggestion that I get a water softener which I already have so I questioned if it was working: How do I measure how hard my water is? It turned out that my industrious wife also had a sample of Castile soap. Subscribe to: Post Comme...

Not always wild, not always fiction. Thursday, March 13, 2014. Top trick for travelers. I've just tried this and it works amazingly well. (Remember that this blog isn't called Wild Fiction for nothing.) I flew to a conference in San Francisco this week and since I was flying on Southwest I opted for the early online check in for an extra $12 which meant that I got priority boarding.
