Is any job better than no job? (http://nyti.ms/9QAh0k) If you were or are unemployed, would you ever consider taking a job that was seemingly beneath you? I believe that every job has a lot of learning potential, so there are few instances when you shouldn't take a position. On the flip side, I've never had to look for work (knock on wood that continues), and I can see how maybe taking a job - any job - could be bad. What do you think?

No job is the right job, but I can't afford not to take what I am offered. Yes the work may be beneath me but I would rather do something than nothing.

Keeping busy is the best way to network, get the juices flowing both mentally and physically. I tried being unemployed for two weeks and I was climbing the walls. I took the first job that interested me (a non-profit gig, even though I loathe working in offices). The contacts that I made there were priceless and it led me to work another stint overseas. See, you never know where any "job" is going to take you. Like Rupaul says: " You betta' WORK!"

Login is a problem. If you just use a login and password, no problem. If you use FB connect, your password is ditched and you can only use FB connect (unless you ask that your password be reset, which is dumb). This is a problem when your workplace shuts you off from social media sites (i.e., FB, Twitter, among others, don't get me started). Posterous (https://posterous.com/main/login) has no problem handling the two options; BC can't. Developers, can we please have the option for both?

I'm curious, how many hours do you guys spend working per week? Being entrepreneurs, I'm sure we're always thinking about work, but how many hours do you actually spend working?

I had to "check myself" from the start so I would sleep and remember I have a family :)

Rather than the constant need to divide and objectify the world around us with various labels such as left/right, right/wrong, good/evil, republican/democrat, liberal/conservative, progressive/orthodox and so on, we need to live in the tension between the poles and enter into what we encounter there. That is where there is friction ... friction creates heat ... heat creates fire ... fire changes things. In purely scientific terms, fire adds not subtracts. Rethink with a clean slate.

If you want leadership, you don't go with the people who toe the line. You want (calculated) risk-takers and people who think and not simply follow.
