Physics Theories as Girls

Newtonian gravity is your high-school girlfriend. As your first encounter with physics, she’s amazing. You will never forget Newtonian gravity, even if you’re not in touch very much anymore.
Electrodynamics is your college girlfriend. Pretty complex, you probably won’t date long enough to really understand her.

7 Things I'd Love to Change About Meetings →
We all know that meetings are expensive. Time is precious, and having many people in a room is quite costly by any measurement. The cost of an interrupted workflow is even worse, especially for a small business!
You might be especially productive early in the morning, from the moment you start working. I might require an hour or so of build-up time before I’m ready to get cranking. But when...
