I have spent a good amount of time to figure out how to get this FCC Radio License.

Who needs this: If you hold a US Pilot license and you would like to get a European JAR license, you need this permit.

How can I get it: You need USD 60.- and follow the following steps:

  1. http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=home
  2. Register and then login
  3. Click on Apply for a new license
  4. Select: RR – Restricted Operator
  5. Pay and submit.

It takes about 2 weeks and you should receive a one page document by mail.

As an avid tennis player, I go through a considerable amount of strings. Thanks to my friend Louis Maranda, who tought me how to string a racquet, I can now do it by myself. Here is how.

STEP 1: Cut a string 12 meters long

STEP 2: Measure 3.5 meters of string

STEP 3: If there are 8 holes in the center, insert string from the top. If there are 6 holes in the center, insert string from the grip side.

STEP 4: Fix a clamp on the grip side on the shorter end of the string

STEP 5: String 4 lengths of main strings on the

other side, where you have 8.5 m of string.

STEP 6: After 4 lenghts of string, hold the string with a clamp. Now start stringing the other side (the 3.5 m side) where you fixed the string with the clamp. P1070469

STEP 7: String the entire side of main strings.

STEP 8: Insert two crosses, before you make a knot for the main string. Like this it is easier to get the string through the holes. Knot the shorter end of the main string.

STEP 9: Now string all of the cross strings until you are done.

Typically, the main strings can be strung at a slightly higher tension than the cross strings.

I personally think so. Here is an interesting idea of a different investment fond:

The Fond “Real Unit” performs according to the BIP of a country.

Admit: You know that women need empathy and not solutions when they are down. And also admit: when men care, they want to provide solutions. Explanation for this and more are given in this book. Listen here to a short synopsis.

The Snowball is an interesting biography of Warren Buffets path to unimaginable wealth. Listen here to a 4 minute YouTube presentation of the book.

Do you think these six packs would look better with a tattoo or not? Please leave your comments! ( on a side note: I’m trying to convince this person NOT to get one!)

Just because a chicken looks nice from the outside does not mean it’s good meat. Left pile is the fat that needed to be cut off, the right pile is the good meat that is left.

What can we learn? In today’s society, very much is about the looks, display. To get to the truth of the matter, one needs to cut off a lot of fat before discovering it.

Randy Pausch urges you to follow your dreams and make them true. Watch my 2 minute video presentation of the book.

It’s hard to remember passwords. Furthermore, it’s just plain cumbersome to have to input them on every second web-site.

There is a solution, and it’s called Roboform. Not only does it keep your password encrypted, but it also allows you to easily login into any site without ever having to type the password. You’ll never need the Browser’s Favorite menu anymore.

I searched for a long time for the same option for Mac, until a friend of mine pointed it out. It’s called 1Password and essentially does the same thing. They even have a great app for the iPhone!
