“Tap dance to Work”
Ok I’ll admit the Warren Buffett posts are probably getting a little old, unfortunately fascination of the moment. There are many reasons to admire and respect a man like Warren Buffett (the man is the self made richest person on the planet and he did give away more than 85% of his net worth to […]
My Starbucks Idea
My Starbucks Idea The reviews are not good, but I have to say like where they are going here. Not so much for the consumer side of things (all of the ideas on there are fairly obvious…free drink on my birthday, free drinks for every 10 coffees, etc), but because of the new Partner only […]
Buffett’s Words of Wisdom…
(on flickr from trackrecord) I finally sat down and took some time to read through Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders for 2007 (released a few weeks ago). As always Warren teaches and shares so much about life and business. I’ve really become a big fan of his after reading R0ger Lowenstein’s book: Buffett: […]
The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros
I finally got around to finishing the The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros as recommended by Ryan Allis way back when. It’s an interesting and fairly simple read (despite being huge) with a lot of fantastic insights for anyone looking to spend a little more time managing their investments (it’s […]
Project to lifestyle
(“Learning to Swim,” on flickr by sposta via CC – You can’t learn to swim until you jump in) I feel like everyone I speak to these days has at least a “project or two,” they are working on. By project I mean they have something they are at least thinking about that hopefully could […]
Today’s a game
(via mecredis on flickr under cc) As I was sitting eating lunch and thinking about my last post I had somewhat of a revelation. I really don’t like work. Looking back on my first business, Enviar, I didn’t start that as a business. I really started that with the approach of “this puzzle looks fun.” […]
Life Tip: Don’t worry about what other people think…
I have a new dog (puppy really, she’s about a year) and she’s great. Anyway there are a lot of dogs in my building and it’s been great talking with my neighbors as we all head out on our morning and evening walks. I never realized how great a connector dogs can be. I’ve talked […]
What’s your motivation?
As I was getting ready to leave my apartment this morning, I suddenly thought to myself: What’s motivating me to do what I’m about to do today? There’s a lot of potential answers to that question, some that are “noble,” such as “I’m determined to take one step closer to making the world a better […]
Long time…
(shot at sunset in Guanacaste, Costa Rica…beautiful place) It’s been awhile since I last posted to this blog. It’s not because I’ve been particularly busy, it’s just that I fell out of that “blogging state of mind,” where you can constantly see blog worthy topics in your day to day life. Anyway, those of you […]
Book Review: Let my People Go Surfing
I just finished the part personal bio / part company bio /part corporate philosophy by Patagonia founder and major environmental activist, Yvon Chouinard: Let my People Go Surfing: Education of a Reluctant Businessman. (via Laram777) Y.C., as he is sometimes known, is really an amazing guy who really is proof of the power behind finding […]
