Photography on vacation

When taking pictures on vacation try to take pictures from angles that everyone else uses.  That way if you mess up your picture you can just take someone else's perfect picture off of the web and claim it as your own.  Then everyone will think you are an awesome photographer, and you won't have to worry about whether or not your shot came out well.

Bar Concepts

Someone should open a bar that has a holiday drink special every day of the year.  On other holidays people pay inordinate amounts of money for crappy drink specials that no one really likes.  So why not have a place that is like that every day of the year?  Plus, then you can secretely laugh at everyone who is drinking terrible drinks and paying you for that privilege.

Contract Work

When on a fixed price project, try to accelerate your client to near
light speeds at the expense of creating a good design. That way, you have more time to finish your project. The opposite holds true for Time and Materials projects.

Hotel Internet

When staying at a hotel you should always opt for the budget hotels that have internet.  Nicer hotels have more people that use the internet for work or other purposes.  Generally, at budget hotels people tend not to have their own technology to take advantage of the internet and therefore slow down the speed.   At a budget hotel it is likely that they didn't pay anyone to properly set up their network; this means you can probably modify the router settings to  prioritize your personal network traffic using all the default administrative passwords.  When making a choice between high speed internet vs lower speed internet and a lack of bed bugs, it is obvious that the internet speeds and your gaming life and health take priority over your real life and health.
