The real paradigm shift (Comments)
There’s a lot to love about the nature of the web community these days. People working on cool projects, loving what they do, excited to get up each day, truly believing that they have the creativity and passion to change the world in some small way. It’s the complete antithesis of so many corporate environments.
But [...]
Swept anyone off their feet lately? (Comments)
Overheard a conversation at the coffee shop this morning. A girl fell in love over the weekend.
The guy really did sound amazing, but the thing that struck me the most was that he wasn’t doing anything that remarkable. Rare, but not remarkable.
The guy’s an actor (in New York of all places.) – The thing about [...]
Grow Up (Comments)
When I was in college, I skipped a lot of class.
I used to rationalize it by saying to myself I was busy with other things. I was running a couple student groups, I was coaching football, I was working a job, I was spending a lot of time at the local bookstore reading marketing books. [...]

Person 1: You’re a newton.
Person 2: You’re an apple.
Person 1: [...]

A great man (Comments)
Manhood is a diffiult thing to accomplish.
In the past few weeks, I’ve had a number of female friends talk with me at length about their difficulty in ‘finding a good man.’ Indeed, this seems to be something that plagues most women I’ve met (other than the ones I’ve dated, of course.) On occasion I’ve heard [...]
Life, love, and the pursuit of being clever (Comments)
I saw Capote last night. Pretty disturbing film.
It made me think back to when I was doing my best writing, my most vigorous thinking. It was at a time in my life when I was most unhappy. My business was struggling, my relationship of 4 years had come to an end…it was a pretty unhappy [...]
