If you were to put a narrow construction on the word ‘needless,’ you would have to remove tens of thousands of words from Shakespeare, who seldom said anything in six words that could be said in twenty.

Mikes on Mics is a weekly podcast featuring Mike Vardy of Vardy.me and Mike Schechter of A Better Mess. We look to explore productivity, technology and how it connects to our lives. Episodes will not only cover the tech, tools and workflows that we use to accomplish our goals, but “The Mikes” always want to strive to take things a step further. We believe that the essentials are important, yet we want to go beyond the “how” and examine the “why.” Why does productivity still matter? Why are we driven to dive deep into the subject? And most important of all, what is relevant to you, our listeners.

Sure, Congress has a marketing problem—largely because they have a problem with the decisions they make and the way that they make them.
At least they’ve left us a useful career guide about what not to do in the real world.
SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The Internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you’ve directed your energy to protecting it.
We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.
But you know something? Christian Dior is clever enough and talented enough that he doesn’t need to be copyrighted. People KNOW a Dior when they see one, and they can usually see the difference between his work and a knockoff. Fashion designers riff off of each other and all follow a lot of the same trends – it happens all the time. And guess what?
The fashion industry is one of the highest grossing artistic market in the WORLD. They make more money – and have a wider and more free-flowing exchange of information that has made them successful.
Whoah.
