Elizabeth Gilbert TED Talks video in which she talks about life after your greatest successes are believed to be behind you, the art of showing up everyday and how you should put down your ego and realize that your genius is on loan from the universe. It’s well worth the 20 minutes.

Facebook Updates Payment Terms In Preparation For Payment Platform Launch.
Facebook has decided to post its payment terms to the Facbeook Governance page and is open for user feedback for the next 3 days.
While the initial payment system on Facebook will only be a beta test, the company is expected to finalize testing and roll out an official payment API in the coming months.
Could this finally signal the payment system that Facebook promised us back 2007? I can already see developers salivating.

San Jose Mercury News to Charge For Online Content — congratulations to the SJMN for trying something, my regrets that it’s this.

Startup Weekend returns to Memphis May 29th – 31st. In case you’re new to the scene, Startup Weekend is a community building event that brings together the best local developers, marketers, designers and enthusiasts to do what they do best – start projects and start companies. Your brain synapses will literally be firing on all cylinders for 54 hours straight.
The weekend starts Friday at 6pm and wraps up the evening of Sunday, May 31st. The founders have put together a Facebook group to bounce around initial ideas, but project votes won’t be made until Friday evening. This year the plan is to have multiple projects simultaneously move forward at the same time.
To give you an idea of the type of projects that get launched in a weekend, take a look at San Francisco, Phoenix, New York and Lexington.
Startup Weekend is limited to the first 100 people that sign up, so be sure to grab a ticket now. Help support and grow the entrepreneurial spirit of Memphis.
