Daily Recommended Vitamins Intake

Vitamin A: between 3000-5000 IUs daily.

Vitamin B Complex: 50-mg B complex (or equivalent in a multi)

Folic Acid: absolute daily minimum should be 800 mcg

Vitamin C: Take at least 500 mg a day, but you won’t go wrong with up to 2,000.

Vitamin D: Take at least 1000 IUs a day (which is what the Canadian Cancer Society recommends during the winter).

Vitamin E: For most purposes 400 IUs is a good dose to aim for. Look for supplements that have plenty of gamma-tocopherol, or at least contain what’s called “mixed tocopherols”. That way you’ll know you’re getting some gamma. Leave the exclusively alpha-tocopherol version alone.

Vitamin K: For once, the RDIs are accurate: 80 mcg is fine.

Writing Blog Entry from Microsoft Word 2007

Yesterday, I didn’t know that you can write a blog entry from Microsoft Word 2007. It just happens that I visited the office home page at Microsoft.com when I learned about this feature. I wonder why I didn’t try it before.

Before this I used to write using Zoundry Raven, and I like the software. But compared to Zoundry, Word seems to have better writing feature. I like it better.

Unfortunately Word doesn’t have the category / browse capability like Zoundry, otherwise it would have been better. I wonder if there is a free / open source plug-in for Word to do this ?

7 Principles of Successful Business / Projects

Today I read about the Stanford project class. They managed to create a lot of Facebook apps and get revenue of 1 million dollars. Wow, I wish we have that kind of class when I was in college. I have never use Facebook, I wonder if I can build something that can earn me some money.

  1. Introducing Products in a “Mature” Market
  2. The Power of Simplicity
  3. Ready Fire Aim
  4. Teamwork Accelerates Success
  5. Check Your Ego at the Door
  6. Don’t Be a Pioneer in a Market
  7. Accelerated Failure

Of these 7 suggestion I think the hardest would be number 4 since I don’t have any team and my boss doesn’t listen to any of my suggestions. Where would I find my team, if I don’t have any real friends? Just ask around at random?

At what market do I create my big project?

Accelerated Success - Failure Cycle

I pledge myself to not get attached to any project again. I will finish the project I have as soon as possible and move on to the next project. So, what am I going to do next ?

Resume Writing

To get a new job you’re going to need a resume. So finally I’ve written a resume that I think I can be proud of. Hope I’ll get that new job soon.
