Friday Web Roundup
I tend to surf the web more than I should (you might call it, “procrastinating”). Rather than letting all that idle time be a complete waste, I decided to compile the interesting stuff I came across and share it with you.
Enjoy!
Life Lessons From 40 Films in 7 Minutes
Some fan edited together a video that combines self-help/motivation/personal development movie lines into one seven minute short. If you like movies and inspiration (and ridiculous thing) this is for you!

When Is It Due?
Short little post on Set Godin’s blog. I just love the last two lines: “When it’s you against the boss, the goal is to do less work. When it’s you against the project, the goal is to do more work.”
Motivational Smart Ass Contest

TroloLord of the Rings
Just for fun, here’s a video that combines two of my favorite things:
- The Lord of the Rings movies.
- The Trololo Guy internet meme.
Marine Lands Date with Mila Kunis
Here’s a cool story about a Marine who made a YouTube video asking actress Mila Kunis to his Marine Corps. Ball. The video went viral, and Mila said yes!
There’s a cool lesson about saying, “Yes, And” here:
- The marine said, “Yes, And” to himself and went ahead and posted the video, even though it was a ridiculous long-shot and he could have gotten teased for it.
- Mila said, “Yes, And” to his offer even though she doesn’t know him and gets no direct benefit from it.
As a result of saying, “Yes, And,” the marine got a date with Mila Kunis and Mila Kunis has gotten a ton of positive press.
Yes And can be a very powerful thing indeed…
10 Reasons You Hate to Cook
Frankly, I don’t really care if you hate to cook. However, this is an interestingly article. When you look closely at it, you realize that all ten reasons can be boiled down to three things:
- You’re not good at it (so learn, practice, and get better)
- You have the wrong materials – tools and food (so learn what you need and get them)
- You set your expectations too high (so lower the bar and go for smaller wins to build experience and momentum)
Those three reasons can pretty much explain why you hate doing anything. So, if there’s something you hate doing but want to or need to do, then learn how to do it and get better, make sure you have the right equipment, and focus on small wins. Simple, right?
Harry Potter Humor
Another nerdy funny one. Since the newest (and last) Harry Potter movie comes out today, I figure why not end with a good bit of Harry Potter humor?
If you, like me, like the Harry Potter franchise and have always been amused by the word, “Hufflepuff,” then you’ll enjoy this video too:

donc avec vos messages haineux contre les personnes âgées. La plupart n’ont pas travaillé 35 h avec 5 semaines de congés payés et leur maison compense leur retraite qui en moyenne n’est pas faramineuse. Vous avez quitté la France pour éviter de rembourser ce que ce pays vous a offert : études, allocations familiales etc eh bien lâchez-nous la grappe et cessez de vous répandre sur nos médias. A moins que ce pays vous manque, finalement ? Non mais
