Letting go
/ / Finished while sitting in a hotel in CA in a town called Tiburon. Mostly written while stuck in an AZ airport listening to a slew of retirees cell phones buzzing. My mind needed an escape. I visited home yesterday for about 12 hours before getting back on a plane. A cab driver picked me up yesterday morning around 6AM… He was pretty stoned and rambling about “dust in the...
How a Yellow Cab driver saved my ass at SXSW.
With all of the confusion, speed, and misunderstandings that life brings it’s easy become jaded about the ways of the world.
Today I had a really humbling experience. Someone completely saved my ass, who I never met, who went wayyyy out of their way to do it and did so gracefully.

Top 10 Startups of 2011 →
What happened to startups in 2011? E-commerce and mobile payments continued to grow, and group buying startup Groupon went public. Facebook, the biggest social network around, expanded in a huge way, announcing Timeline, frictionless sharing and a settlement (finally) with the FTC. It also swallowed up many promising startups, including group messaging service Beluga, social network-enhancing...
The Road To Relevance
// Originally written sitting in the SFO airport with Jordan the week of 12/7/2011. My brain can’t take another document today and to be honest, I’d give just about anything to sit in a movie theater and turn my phone off //
