An Intern Guide to a Summer in the Bay Area
Dear Future Intern,

Welcome! You just got an internship at this amazing start-up, so you're starting to look for housing and are getting pumped for your summer. Rightfully so - the Bay Area is awesome!

I spent my last two summers out here as an intern, first at Facebook and (am currently at my last day) at 2bkco, an early-stage, awesome start-up. It took me a while to figure out what the things to do were out here, especially as the only intern at a small company. Hopefully, the following will get you off to a running start

Using git+dropbox together effectively? - Stack Overflow
I think that git on dropbox is great. I use it all of the time. I have multiple computers (two at home and one at work) that I use dropbox as a central bare repo. Since I don't want to host it on a public service and I don't have access to a server that I can always ssh to, Dropbox takes care of this by syncing (very quickly) in the background.

How to Screw with Car Salesmen (and Get a Better Deal)
Not every car salesman is out to get you, but they have that reputation for a reason. Many will try to sell you more expensive packages you don't want, trick you into paying more than they advertise, and lie to get what they want.

New Writing Tips Page for Moleskines
I built a new Writing Tips PDF. Print each page on one side of a piece of paper and then cut that piece of paper in half (I used the "fold, lick, fold, lick, tear" method). Fold each half twice and tuck it in the pocket of your Moleskine pocket journal.

How to make a video go viral
Earlier this year I was asked to give advice to one of our clients who wanted to make a ‘viral video’. At first I was a little bit overwhelmed by this request, as my initial view was that something only goes viral if the content is top notch. As Media Guerilla states, “If there’s any real “strategic” part of making a video viral these days, it’s the making of the frigg’n video, it’s the creation of the content”.
