[S]crew cleantech short-term. Give me a battery for my laptop and mobile phone which doesn’t need to be charged every day.

This is great, concise advice:
Just say something you mean, and enjoy the short thoughts, inspirations and mundane details of the people you decide to follow- searching for bloggers and writers you enjoy reading in a bigger format is the way to start. Follow people saying real stuff, not the ones who are just advertising.

I laughed and smiled my way through this entire post from Ask the Harvard MBA, on whether or not it’s possible for men and women to have strictly platonic friendships. The short answer, from my shrink, is: No, because it would be counter-evolutionary; the tension is there even if neither party is conscious of it. […]
