Just to counsel some additional advice on this - be aware that eating (and your diet) is much more important than exercise when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I point this out because I enjoyed exercising for many years before really getting to grips with this point. You can do lots of exercise but still eat badly and consequently not really make any progress.
However exercise is still beneficial.
There are lots of articles on this, but this NYT article[1] includes links to meta-studies for anyone interested in that level of detail.
Does anyone know or have any good ideas about how to donate money to her cause? (her website doesn't have any donate links on it).
I often find with stories like this, that are horrifying, that the least I can do to show my support is donate money to the cause in the hope that it can help those brave enough to pursue it.
1. store info of the pen not being memorable (can use that later as per the transcript)
2. Ask for what typical activities they use a pen for. Then try and describe back to them why the pen is important based on those events. If they respond 'I don't really use a pen much'....well that might be a little harder :)
Overall an interesting transcript. I haven't studied sales much so not sure about the theory behind it all but the example seems very good. Though I'm sure there's other ways to succeed at the task without necessarily following the OP's principles exactly.
Cultural connoisseurs will also no doubt be aware that Johnny Bravo covered that episode the Twilight Zone too, except instead of Gremlins, it was Clowns....
Why? That analogy is so widely recognised and accepted that electronic engineers/neuroscientists are experimenting on computer circuit boards to assess the understanding of neuroscience.
"It does so by way of neuroscience’s favourite analogy: comparing the brain to a computer. Like brains, computers process information by shuffling electricity around complicated circuits."
I hate to be negative but this article is frustrating because it makes an argument without backing it up with evidence that can be followed up by the reader.
It makes claims such as 'it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas ... in a crowd.' but doesn't provide any link to these documents.
The only links it provides are ones to other BBC articles.
It also cites studies and references their data without providing a link to them.
It's a shame as I'm sure there may be a strong case against open offices but this is pretty lazy journalism and indicative of some major problems (in my opinion, anyway) with how science is reported (and used) in online articles.
Can't read the article because it's behind a paywall (sigh).
Any indication of how the researchers defined a 'major road'? Was it purely size or done by traffic throughput over time? Or did they be use air pollution / noise measurements instead?
Looks like a good varied bundle with lots of options for game development.
Just a note on the Unity book - it deals with 'UnityScript' and calls it 'Unity's Javascript', but just to call out that it's very much a language specific to Unity, and for that reason most people use C# with Unity because it's the standard C# implementation so can be used outside of Unity too.

Good article. Couple of things I've found really useful whilst building a video game in my spare time:
1. If you like to listen to music whilst you code/work, check out focusatwill.com. It's basically the right kind of background music, ie: not engaging enough to distract you. I used to waste time trying to select music to play for my work sessions, now it's simple.
2. When you finish a work session, write a note to yourself saying where you're at. that way, when you come back to start work again, you can pick up where you left off without spending time trying to remember stuff. It's past you being nice to future you! (I got this from a writing tip that said you should always leave a sentence unfinished when taking a break, because then you can hop back in really easily because it's mid flow).
Really agree with the OP about exercise/well being. It's not a waste of time. For most (if not all) of these kinds of side projects, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
I recently watched the fallout anthology run and some of the things the speed run community have discovered are amazing.
