My company was absolutely crushing it by most standards, but I was stuck there. Tough pill to swallow… I had an “if it needs done, just fucking do it” mentality. This actually got me pretty far, but lead me to brick wall - hard and fast. I reached the max capacity of what I could do “on my own” with a limited team &iIn one sudden moment a realization dev…

Happy Saturday everyone! Can you believe that it’s already December? Time to get started on those New Year Resolutions! Anyway, what happened this week in the finance, tech, and startup world? 🌎

You’re going to want the doughnuts even more! You do without them for a while, but one day - days, weeks, months, or years from no…

I didn’t want to widely share this video I recorded a year ago – I really didn’t. I was hoping the plethora of dire predictions extrapolated from the Pfizer Covid jab clinical trial data would be incorrect. I thought there was still a possibility that, despite mounting evidence to the contrary, the shots would cause minimal harm.

Both of you failed the test in the exact same way? Hmm... Hold up! Don't like reading? Watch instead... https://youtu.be/oyJi5VBnWk4 I feel like I'm having deja vu.

New software or a new standard will not solve a problem that could have been sold already by legacy software and standards. New tech is most effective at solving problems caused by the limitations of older tech. It’s less helpful when the problem is caused by misaligned incentives, indifferent or hostile culture, or plain old animosity. — <a href="https…

Data-Driven Discovery Is Tech’s New Wave

Despite their astounding ability to crunch numbers in nanoseconds, there are still things that computers can’t do, contends Hoke at the National Weather Service.

It’s been a bit since I wrote something as I’ve been heads down on a few projects (will share more details soon!). But, there was one thing that I wanted to share some quick thoughts on and that’s Pickleball! I’ve wanted to write about Pickleball for some time now after just being blown away with its surge in popularity. Perhaps I have been living under …
