A few years ago, I made an unusual friend. He was a traveling houseless graphic designer who worked very little and made far more money than I did. Everything he owned fit into a small backpack, and he was essentially in permanent vacation mode, while working online whenever he wanted to. He introduced many interesting… Continue reading ❤️ Tim Ferriss – The Four Hour Work Week

To call up a demon you must learn its name.
There is an idea I’ve been trying to articulate and synthesize for some time. I don’t think I accomplish it here, but this is a step in the right direction. I think back to my favorite book series The Sprawl Trilogy, and to Peter Thiel’s book Zero to One, and an interview between Garry Kasparov and… Continue reading To call up a demon you must learn its name.
❤️ Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy – The Ethical Slut
At burning man last year, I attended a wedding. There is some sweet 360 footage in a recent post about burning man.

The Levels Challenge
Pieter Levels has been a very inspirational figure for me. I have been thinking a lot about his series of blog posts, “Building 12 Startups in 12 Months.” I really enjoyed reading these, and I really liked his definition of what a startup is. In this context, a minimum-viable-product which is publicly available for people to use online.… Continue reading The Levels Challenge

Private Internet Access took out a full page ad in the New York Times at enormous cost to let people know about this important issue.

In this episode, he talks with author Lesley Blume about her new book… Continue reading Ernest Hemingway – The Sun Also Rises
