If I could offer you only one tip for the future

Baz Lurhman wrote a song for the class of 97, telling them all they should wear sunscreen, and giving them other useful tips for the future. I came across a similar list of tips for high-schoolers, written by Charles Sykes, where he explains what is the real world like, and what kids should be prepared for, as well as stumbled over another list by Dave Barry.

I love these tips, so I decided I should aggregate them all in one place and also searched for a few more tips and hacks from people who already passed a few things in their life, and gathered what you should learn from them. Have fun:

QuickMonth Calendar is a freeware program which displays a small calendar on your windows desktop whenever your mouse hovers over the clock in the system tray (alternatively, the calendar display may be toggled by using the windows+q keyboard shortcut).

The program is loaded on startup and very light on memory. It doesn’t add any annoying icons near the taskbar, only more functionality. Highly recommended and also reviewed by lifehacker.

Google wants to visualize an e-mail traveling around the world

Google’s gmail team decided to make a video clip showing its “M” envelope being passed from person-to-person and they want you to join in on the fun. Just film yourself, based on the guidelines on this page (the video should be less than 10 seconds, and the M envelope should be clearly visible, enters from the left screen and exits from the right). Google will then collect all the great videos, add soundtrack to the chain, and probably make one of the coolest videos ever.
