Yeah, I know today is Friday the 13th. Get over it! (You want to dwell upon it- click here for a post on Triskaidekaphobia.)

Let’s Finish This

No food. No water.
Tonight begins the 9th day of Av, which continue until tomorrow. (Remember that the Tora said, “There was evening, there was morning, one day”. That is why our days begin in the evening- and why there’s a Christmas Eve and a New Year’s Eve.) The very end of this Hebrew month denotes the day my mother died and the next day (also a new moon) is the day my oldest daughter was born. All auspicious moments.

It’s time. The calendar says so.
Today is the first day of the secular new year of 2018. Which means you probably are making sure you keep your brand-spanking-new New Year’s Resolutions. (I make my personal resolutions in September/October, when the Jewish New Year rolls around. And, my corporate KPI [key performance indicators] are evaluated three or four times a year to make sure we’re measuring (and achieving) the right things.)

Life-hacking
I spoke last week how Newton’s three laws of motion can be applied to develop our productivity. Today, let’s explore this a little further.

Jerusalem, First Day
I’m always tempted to do this. But, I’m too self-conscious. Or, maybe, it’s because I wonder if I would do it because others have- and not because it’s something deep within me.

It’s not just for parades or sales- or football!
Today we recognize the abundance afforded us. Of course, many of us have still not recovered from the Great Recession (yeah, like the whole Middle Class). But, being the optimistic people we are, we are still bound and determined to celebrate Thanksgiving. Many of us are also bound and determined to wait on line for interminable duration just to score that one sale item.

Data Mining- here we come
A computer game is about to become an important medical research tool. Because all of you who play its games (I never found the time to join in), have provided massive data that can be mined to determine some pretty important facts. The game site? Lumosity.com. You know, the game that trains your brain. (To do what, I might ask?)

A 3D Update (part 1)
I’ve been remiss keeping you apprised of the developments in 3D Printing. As, I wrote last Wednesday, when I reported about the pop-up shop in Baltimore. And, as I repeatedly have said, 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing) is going to change what and how we do things. I’ve discussed what the aviation industry has already adopted, how medical innovations are affected, among others. But, now…

An Open Letter
Dear Occasional Client*:
I know you just love getting these monthly notes from me. But, we really do want you to pay the lowest amount of taxes legally required- and to grow your business. And, it’s really hard for us to help you do that if you think meeting in January or February will work- especially for the year that just ended. Because once the calendar has closed up 2013- so has your ability to afford yourself of whatever tax breaks existed- and to insure that you can hit 2014 at maximum speed.

Today is Thanksgiving. A holiday to remind us that our harvest has sustained us. Analogous to the holiday of Sukot, which was closer in time to the secular Thanksgiving before the date was moved. (It IS celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada, which is mighty close to the actual date of Sukot.)
