1 I keep glancing at this girl in Starbucks. She’s been sitting here half an hour, mostly staring into space. I’ve been sitting here half an hour, mostly staring at a screen. Which of us is the weirdo? 2 The guy serving is from Venezuela. He estado, I tell him. He’s surprised, asks me what …
1 Asking people what is the strangest business they’ve heard about at this conference. Some of the answers… 2 This conference was the most social I’ve been in several years. Enjoyed the banter, getting into flowing conversations, making people laugh. Managed my energy well too, don’t feel like I missed out on anything over the …
1 Another legal threat from a course creator. Sent them our review, told them we’d correct any errors. And this is how they respond. Someone on my team receives these emails now instead of me, so I don’t take it so personally. 2 The last written words of Leonardo da Vinci… “Here’s another way of looking …
1 Trying to be more like LeBron James. He’s older now, can’t go all-out all the time, has to pick his spots, take some plays off. I’ve been going hard at it the last few days, had to take some plays off today, before I pulled a mental hamstring. 2 I’ve heard that recreational drugs …
1 Today was Saturday and I worked all day. Didn’t particularly want to, but did it anyway, needed to get a bunch of things done. I like to think I’ll look back on days like this, and feel they were well worth the effort and sacrifice. 2 I like living in a place with distinct …

1 British mathematician John Edensor Littlewood considered a “miracle” to be a one-in-a-million event. He also figured that a person encounters one distinct “event” per second while alert and awake. In 35 days, that adds up to one million events. Therefore, the average person encounters a miracle about once a month. 2 My go-to snack …
1 Lots of stress and struggle for me in 2022, trying to juggle business, relationships, and moving to a new country. And yet I look back on it all quite fondly. Some things that suck in the moment can become good memories. 2 Maybe productivity is like sleep: the harder you try, the more it …
1 Bought a big new television today. Could barely fit it in the car to take home. We’ll have a really nice home cinema thing going on once it’s all set up. Would be amazing for gaming as well, but I wouldn’t trust myself with a console. 2 Ran 4 kilometers into the woods before …
1 It was hard to get out for a nice walk when we lived in Tbilisi. But here in Andorra every walk is nice. Found a trail up behind the telecabina station today, followed it through the woods to an abandoned shack, spectacular views all around. 2 Been renting a car since we got here. …
