How To Establish Good Credit While In College

2008-02-15T12:49:00.003+08:00

It can be difficult to obtain a loan or credit card if you haven’t established credit yet. It can be a frustrating catch-22. If you don’t have credit, you can’t get credit, yet how can you ever establish credit if nobody is willing to give you any? Lenders don’t have the normal things to look at, like your payment history or FICO score, when deciding whether or not to give you credit. In these situations they have to look at other factors to decide if you are a credit risk or not.

There are a few things you can do that may help you establish credit. The first thing you should do is open and maintain a checking and savings account at a local bank. Unfortunately your checking and savings accounts don’t get reported to the credit bureaus. If you already do business with a bank and have active accounts in good standing, they should be the first place you go to look for a credit card or loan. They know you and they value your business. This existing relationship may carry some weight. A few other things will keep you in good standing with your bank:

* Don’t overdraw your bank account. You will be charged fees, and you may damage your credit record.

* Don’t let other people use your checking or savings account, debit card, or ATM card. You are responsible for what they do with it.

* Consider adding overdraft protection to your checking account. Overdraft protection is a form of credit. If you go over the balance in your checking account, funds are charged against your overdraft to pay the check. You would then pay back your overdraft.

If your living situation warrants, set up utilities in your name. Your payment habits are part of your credit history. Paying promptly and fully reflects well on your credit history. It may also save you from having to have a deposit down the road. Be careful with roommates – if the utility is in your name, you are still ultimately responsible for the entire bill. Credit reporting bureaus keep track of payments that are 30, 60, 90, and 120 days late.

Generally, gasoline or department store credit is a bad idea because of the higher interest rate cardholders seem to pay. If you are having trouble establishing credit, they may be a good thing. These types of credit cards are usually easier to get and offer lower credit limits. If you are approved for a card, you need to practice self-discipline and use it properly. This is not free money. Use it only as a means to establish good credit. Make an initial purchase and pay it off in full. Maintain a good payment history while your activity is reported to the credit bureaus.

If you are still having a difficult time establishing credit, you may want to try secured credit. When a credit card or loan is secured, it means there is an asset linked to the account. The lender can confiscate this asset if you fail to make payments. For example, if you don’t make your car payments, they can take your car to satisfy your debt. You can also establish a secured credit card. You deposit money in an account to secure the card. For example, if your credit card has a $500 limit, this means you made a $500 deposit linked to the card. If you don’t make your credit card payments, the bank takes your deposit. After you maintain the account in good standing for a while, you may be able to obtain a regular credit card or loan.

Establishing credit while you are still in college is a good idea. A good credit rating can make it easier to get an apartment, a car, even a job. You should check out your credit rating before graduating. A fairly new credit law says that everyone is entitled to one free copy of his or her credit report each year. If you have been denied credit, you also have the right to a free report.

Very helpful sites that teach you how to do things

2007-12-13T13:28:00.001+08:00

There are a large number of very helpful sites that teach you how to do things. These are do-it-yourself sites, but we're not talking about building a deck or baking a cake -- the web is full of more general interest sites that give quality instruction on all sorts of fun and useful projects. Including, sometimes, how to build a deck or bake a cake.

In this horribly-titled, but hopefully useful round-up we will specifically focus on such general purpose sites that include some sort of rich media instruction (generally video). We also might throw in a tech-focused site or two, since this is after all, a tech-focused blog.

If you know of any instructional sites that are missing from this list, please mention them in the comments below.

Instructables - "The World's Largest Show and Tell," as the site calls itself, is a community where people can create and share guides that cover a variety of topics from art and crafts to food, technology, and the home. The multi-page guides are well illustrated and users can rate and discuss them.
SuTree - The recently redesigned SuTree aggregates video tutorials from over 250 sources. Their library includes over 11,000 videos covering just about every topic you can imagine. They republish videos from a bunch of other sites on this list.
TrickLife - A user generated video tutorial site covering a large number of topics. Their "Computing" section is one of the most active and features a number of great tutorials about how to use various computer programs.
VideoJug - VideoJug is one of the largest general purpose professionally produced video tutorial sites. They host over 15,000 video tutorials in just about every subject under the sun, including some tongue-in-cheek tutorials like this one: How To Use CSI Techniques To Find Out Who Used Your Coffee Mug. The videos include text as well to make them easier to follow.
Expert Village - Expert Village calls itself the world's largest video tutorial site, and with nearly 49,000 videos, they might be right. Expert Village produces videos using a network of "experts" in various fields. Anyone can sign up to be an expert and the site contacts those it feels would do well hosting a video tutorial series.
eHow - eHow is a very large tutorial site covering a wide range of topics. Many of the tutorials were created by their editorial team, though some are user submitted. The presentation of the tutorials isn't very compelling (generally on a single page, broken into steps, without much in the way of rich media to aid instruction), but the site does have a small and growing video tutorial library.
Household Hacker - A really cool video tutorial blog that instructs on how to achieve a number of "hacks" using common household items (usually these have to do with technology). As an example, the video embedded below demonstrates how to charge and iPod using an onion and some Gatorade (not sure why you'd ever want to do that, but, still pretty neat).
Make: Podcast - Make Magazine is, in general, one of the coolest DIY magazines out there, instructing each month on a variety of awesome projects. Their online video podcast is a great collection of tutorials on how to do cool things like make a potato cannon or screen print your own t-shirt.
5min - The "videopedia," as the site calls itself, 5min is another repository of user created video tutorials. Their hook? All the videos must be under 5 minutes in length. This site is great for someone who wants to learn how to do something on a tight schedule.
ViewDo - Another video tutorial site that relies on user contributions, ViewDo also mixes in some tutorials created in house. ViewDo covers a ton of topic areas, and one of the nice things about the site is that videos can be downloaded to a portable media player (like an iPod or PSP) and watched on the go.
Sclipo - Sclipo not only encourages people to share their knowledge, but also provides a utility for them to do so via webcam. As on most video sharing sites, users can rate and comment on clips.
Helpfulvideo - This is a rather strange site that mixes up video tutorials with video classified ads. I'm not really sure where the crossover is, but if you're looking to buy a used car then learn how to change its oil filter, then perhaps this site is for you.
TeacherTube - TeacherTube is a straight up YouTube clone aimed at providing an outlet for educational videos that I gather can be used by teachers in class. Some of the videos were pretty good, but the site seems really unfocused compared to the rest in this round-up. Then again, what kid wouldn't love Dr. Loopy Discusses the Water Cycle? (Um, don't answer that.)
Koonji - Offering people-powered guides, in my August review of Koonji I compared the site to Instructables and Squidoo.
Squidoo - Speaking of Squidoo... While not totally focused on tutorials, Squidoo's lenses are a font of information about all sorts of stuff and often include how-to guides (or links to them!).
About.com - Who could forget About.com? Not us! Buried in the editorial of About.com are hundreds of tutorials, including a growing amount of video content -- you just have to dig for it sometimes.

How to stop procrastination - Structured procrastination

2007-09-07T03:39:00.001+08:00

I have been intending to write this essay for months. Why am I finally doing it? Because I finally found some uncommitted time? Wrong. I have papers to grade, textbook orders to fill out, an NSF proposal to referee, dissertation drafts to read. I am working on this essay as a way of not doing all of those things. This is the essence of what I call structured procrastination, an amazing strategy I have discovered that converts procrastinators into effective human beings, respected and admired for all that they can accomplish and the good use they make of time. All procrastinators put off things they have to do. Structured procrastination is the art of making this bad trait work for you. The key idea is that procrastinating does not mean doing absolutely nothing. Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their files when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important. If all the procrastinator had left to do was to sharpen some pencils, no force on earth could get him do it. However, the procrastinator can be motivated to do difficult, timely and important tasks, as long as these tasks are a way of not doing something more important.

Structured procrastination means shaping the structure of the tasks one has to do in a way that exploits this fact. The list of tasks one has in mind will be ordered by importance. Tasks that seem most urgent and important are on top. But there are also worthwhile tasks to perform lower down on the list. Doing these tasks becomes a way of not doing the things higher up on the list. With this sort of appropriate task structure, the procrastinator becomes a useful citizen. Indeed, the procrastinator can even acquire, as I have, a reputation for getting a lot done.

The most perfect situation for structured procrastination that I ever had was when my wife and I served as Resident Fellows in Soto House, a Stanford dormitory. In the evening, faced with papers to grade, lectures to prepare, committee work to be done, I would leave our cottage next to the dorm and go over to the lounge and play ping-pong with the residents, or talk over things with them in their rooms, or just sit there and read the paper. I got a reputation for being a terrific Resident Fellow, and one of the rare profs on campus who spent time with undergraduates and got to know them. What a set up: play ping pong as a way of not doing more important things, and get a reputation as Mr. Chips.

Procrastinators often follow exactly the wrong tack. They try to minimize their commitments, assuming that if they have only a few things to do, they will quit procrastinating and get them done. But this goes contrary to the basic nature of the procrastinator and destroys his most important source of motivation. The few tasks on his list will be by definition the most important, and the only way to avoid doing them will be to do nothing. This is a way to become a couch potato, not an effective human being.

At this point you may be asking, "How about the important tasks at the top of the list, that one never does?" Admittedly, there is a potential problem here.

The trick is to pick the right sorts of projects for the top of the list. The ideal sorts of things have two characteristics, First, they seem to have clear deadlines (but really don't). Second, they seem awfully important (but really aren't). Luckily, life abounds with such tasks. In universities the vast majority of tasks fall into this category, and I'm sure the same is true for most other large institutions. Take for example the item right at the top of my list right now. This is finishing an essay for a volume in the philosophy of language. It was supposed to be done eleven months ago. I have accomplished an enormous number of important things as a way of not working on it. A couple of months ago, bothered by guilt, I wrote a letter to the editor saying how sorry I was to be so late and expressing my good intentions to get to work. Writing the letter was, of course, a way of not working on the article. It turned out that I really wasn't much further behind schedule than anyone else. And how important is this article anyway? Not so important that at some point something that seems more important won't come along. Then I'll get to work on it.

Another example is book order forms. I write this in June. In October, I will teach a class on Epistemology. The book order forms are already overdue at the book store. It is easy to take this as an important task with a pressing deadline (for you non-procrastinators, I will observe that deadlines really start to press a week or two after they pass.) I get almost daily reminders from the department secretary, students sometimes ask me what we will be reading, and the unfilled order form sits right in the middle of my desk, right under the wrapping from the sandwich I ate last Wednesday. This task is near the top of my list; it bothers me, and motivates me to do other useful but superficially less important things. But in fact, the book store is plenty busy with forms already filed by non-procrastinators. I can get mine in mid-Summer and things will be fine. I just need to order popular well-known books from efficient publishers. I will accept some other, apparently more important, task sometime between now and, say, August 1st. Then my psyche will feel comfortable about filling out the order forms as a way of not doing this new task.

The observant reader may feel at this point that structured procrastination requires a certain amount of self-deception, since one is in effect constantly perpetrating a pyramid scheme on oneself. Exactly. One needs to be able to recognize and commit oneself to tasks with inflated importance and unreal deadlines, while making oneself feel that they are important and urgent. This is not a problem, because virtually all procrastinators have excellent self-deceptive skills also. And what could be more noble than using one character flaw to offset the bad effects of another?

How to build your own laptop battery

2007-09-02T17:31:00.001+08:00

The one thing I love about the web is the amazing things you stumble across and the many things you learn. I stumbled across this laptop battery hack when I was trying to figure out what to do about the dead battery on my old Toshiba laptop that my wife and kids use from time to time. Forget about forging over $100+ to get a replacement battery, this little video will show you hoe to do it for less that half of that. Not only will you look good by saving money, but it will make you a hero for doing it yourself.

What if TRIZ tools were available for everyone?

2007-08-31T17:38:00.001+08:00

TRIZ (Теория Решения Изобретательских Задач, Russian Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving) is a strange case. TRIZ was developed by a Russian engineer called Genrich Altshuller in peculiar circumstances, it is based on analysis of 3 million patents and finally extracted "invention rules". Nowadays original TRIZ researchers are working mostly in the USA (Detroit area). TRIZ is utilised in versatile fields and especially Asian companies are heavily utilising it.

Why to utilise TRIZ in innovation activity? Katie Barry, Ellen Domb and Michael S. Slocum have a point:

"Common creativity tools have been limited to brainstorming and related methods, which depend on intuition, fiat and the knowledge of the members of the team. These methods are typically described as psychologically based and having unpredictable and unrepeatable results. TRIZ is a problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition, which accelerates the project team's ability to solve these problems creatively.

I have tested those "40 Inventive Principles" in a contradiction matrix of TRIZ and these can be utilised ... outside gadget design ;-) The TRIZ Journal is "uneven" on its academic status, but it contains many fascinating cases.

Currently, there are interesting things happening around TRIZ. I had a great meeting in May with Yoni (Yonathan) Mizrachi. He is doing research on the next level of TRIZ called Directed Evolution:

"Directed Evolution is a systematic process for predicting future generations of a system by inventing them. In business terms this means that its users can use Directed Evolution to reach a position of market and technological leadership"

Yoni, good luck with you efforts!

Although TRIZ is widely researched and developed, tools based on TRIZ are proprietary, closed.

My dream: There would be an open source software (or open research) community developing TRIZ method and software tools. These tools would be available for individuals and intermediaries.

What would happen if these powerful tools would be available for everyone in open source? An increase in innovation rates? Or collapse in inventions, when nobody can not differentiate useless chindogu from real novelty ;-) What do you think?

How to stay fit at 76 years of age

2007-07-14T08:29:00.001+08:00

I am 76 years of age and my last child was born when I was 50. I want to assure you that your worries about memory will be one of the minor things that you have to keep in shape in the next 25 years. Just like a car, age tends to show up on the body if it is not constantly maintained. Writing and computereze tends to keep the mind functioning well but it really seems to impede the physical side because of the lack of exercise. Right now I would take stock of what you have going for you now as follows:

1. Make sure your waist is not more than half of your height in inches.
2. Make sure your blood pressure is not over 120/80.
3. Make sure that your blood sugar stays below 100.
4. Make sure that you exercise 60 minutes every day and that 30 minutes of that is sweat producing.
5. Make sure that your BMI stays below 25.
6. Drink a minimum of a half ounce of clean water for every pound of body weight daily.
7. Make sure that you are getting 8 hours of sleep each night which should include 2 to 4 hours of deep REM sleep.
8. Eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies that are not cooked at temps above 145 degrees and include a lot of deep green leafy veggies that are raw.
9, Reduce your red meat intake to a max of 4 oz per day and increase your mercury free fish intake.
10. When you rise each morning, think positive and feel like this is going to be the greatest day of your life.

Even with these aids as you approach 70 you will continually wish that you had taken better care of your body when you were in your 20's and 30's and not drank so much soda pop and liquor and did more exercise. Each year will compound the aches and pains of aging but barring a fatal accident you will maximize your ability to live longer in more comfort.

How is iPhone sales going?

2007-07-06T00:48:00.001+08:00

Posted by Eric Zeman - Despite a serious number of iPhone haters out there (and man are you guys a vocal bunch), it looks like the number of iPhone fans (iPhans?) has spoken loud and clear. The Apple web site is reporting that only two retail stores (one in Oregon, one is Pennsylvania) have any stock left of the device.

Many AT&T stores reported that they were out of stock as early as Friday evening and Saturday. Apple had stock at most stores over the weekend and into Monday, but the percentage of stores that had the iPhone steadily declined through yesterday.

Not only has the device sold out at AT&T and Apple stores, some web sites are reporting that AT&T has activated over 1 million iPhones since its launch last week. Steve Jobs' original sales goal was to sell 1 million if the combo phone/media player/Internet devices by the end of 2007. He gave himself fully 6 months to reach that goal. Instead, he's reached it in 6 days. I don't care how much you hate the iPhone, that's phenomenal. And it will change the industry.

Aside from the original Motorola RAZR, which was also a trend-setting device, no other phone has sold so many units so quickly. The RAZR sold 50 million units between its July 2004 launch and July 2006. That includes a number of variants sold both in the U.S. and overseas.

While the iPhone has a long way to go to match that number, you have to agree that it is off to a pretty good start.

How to boost your personal creativity

2007-07-06T00:36:00.001+08:00

By Paul Sloane - Let’s say you are wrestling with a tough issue – maybe at work, at home, with your children or in your social life. You have been stuck for a while and you can’t seem to make a breakthrough. You want to come up with some really creative ideas. What can you do? Here are ten great practical ways to boost your inventiveness and to crack the problem:

1. Ask why, why? Ask, "why has this issue arisen?” Come up with six different reasons and for each of them ask, “why did this happen?” Keep asking why for each cause. This helps you to better understand the different reasons why this is a problem and so in turn you will see different possible solutions.

2. Sleep on it. Ponder the issue and all its aspects for some time and then put it out of your mind. Get a good night’s sleep. The subconscious mind goes to work and often you come up with great ideas the next day.

3. Talk it over with someone who has nothing to do with the situation. They will often ask basic questions or make seemingly silly suggestions that prompt good ideas. Two heads are better than one but people who are too close to the issue will often come up with the same ideas as you, so try an outsider.

4. Ask how some celebrity would tackle the issue. What would Steve Jobs do? Or Bob Geldof , or Richard Branson, or Salvador Dali or Margaret Thatcher or Madonna or Sherlock Holmes? Take each individual’s approach to its extremes and it will likely give you some radical solutions.

5. Pick up any object at random and say to yourself, “this item contains the key to solving the problem.” Then force some ideas. Try this with several different objects and you will have a selection of radical and inventive ideas.

6. Use similes. Try to think of a different problem in another walk of life that is like your problem. Say you want your staff at work to try new ways of working. You might imagine that this is like getting your children to eat vegetables. List various methods you might use with your children to encourage or persuade them to try vegetables. Then go through the list and then see if any of the ideas can be converted into things you can try at work.

7. Imagine an ideal solution in a world where there are no constraints –e.g., you can use any resource you want. Now work back from that ideal and challenge each of the constraints that is holding you back from achieving it. Many of the obstacles can be overcome when you take this approach.

8. Open a dictionary and take any noun at random. Write down six attributes of that noun – so for tree you might write - root, branch, family, apple, trunk and tall. Then force some links between the word or its attributes and the problem in order to come up with fresh ideas. You will be surprised at how well this works – for individuals or in a group.

9. Ponder the issue and then go for a walk around an art gallery or museum. The range of external stimuli will help you conceive plenty of new ideas.

10. Draw a picture of the situation showing the people and the issues in simple cartoon style. Put it up on the wall and then imagine how the story could develop. Think of it as a cartoon strip. Many people’s brains work better in images than in words or numbers so this can lead to fantastic ideas.

These methods work for individuals and for groups. Try them and see what suits you best. Above all keep reminding yourself – there are some great solutions for my problem – I haven’t found the right one yet but I will!

What is the difference between creativity and innovation?

What is your definition of creativity and innovation? Is there a difference? If so, what?
I recently found this definition from (Amabile, Burnside & Gryskiewicz, 1999) which I like: “Creativity is the crucial ‘front-end’ of the innovation process; before innovation can happen, the creative ideas must be generated by individuals and teams so that they can be successfully implemented.” Read more..

Why natural light is good for you?

On a rainy day it‘s hard to get out of bed. But, when it‘s clear outside with sunlight streaming through your window you‘re ready to face the day. There‘s more science behind the cause and affect of lighting on our mood and attitude than most people realize. Because our eyes contain 70 percent of our body‘s sense receptors, visual cues are unquestionably the primary way we experience the world. Light plays a big part in how our eyes work. When light passes through your pupils and moves to the retina at the back of the eye, where it is processed by one of two sets of receptor cells, depending on whether you‘re seeing in sunlight or shadow.
