There had been a service online that had been community funded that would archive the internet and what it would look like progressively. You could visit a site at a certain date and see what it would look like. For some reason Jack didn't believe the old Blue Corp sites....

Class

I met Milo in a class I wasn't supposed to be in. I had scheduled it a few months before because my friend who was a freshmen wanted it really bad and it was a high demand class. At our university upperclassmen got to schedule their classes before the under....

Springing into a walk

Looking back he was sure of one thing. That he was nervous.
.
This was the final Friday ofย  September . A heat spell had just evaporated and suddenly everybody was walking around in sweaters through that crisp autumn air. And he had only one thing on his mind.

Tumbling a single desire...

Outsourcing dirty things

The reason why so many founders are finding success in B2B SaaS is because of how slow incumbent organizations move.

It's expensive to create the simplest of software within these established walls. You can't just get started hacking on the cheap as there's a bunch of bureaucratic boxes that need to...

Water -> Blood -> Urine

For all our drinking and cooking, we use reverse-osmosis ย  water . We get this through three three gallon refillable jugs that we take to our little grocery store. Most times we only refill two jugs at a time. Some days it's one. Rarely it's all three. But most times a...

Child of farmers

His parent were farmers. This taught him the value of food. Humbled him to fear the treachery of an empty belly paired to a hopeless heart.

See, having an empty belly wasn't a bad thing on itself. In fact he had gone many days not eating a single bite. So long...

What you value values you back as reply to Managing your energy

I originally began this with the phrase in the old days, but this wasn't long ago time-wise. Instead I should use:

In the far days,ย  I didn't know the value of respect. And when someone doesn't know something so deep and systemic, it's always the case that they don't know...

Backoffice Apps

I have a fetish with horribly designed, outdated back-office apps.

Maybe I can't claim they're horribly designed. That's too subjective .ย 

How about instead: I have a fetish with established back-office apps that people often complain about. I would even guess that they love to complain about these apps....

Actually not a single one of them I bet could tell you what they stayed for. I mean they'l give you their reasons, but do they believe themselves? If you look into their eyes as they ingest another puff of smoke do...

Before the habit vs After

Before I forged a solid writing habit I took myself too serious.ย 

I walked around with this pressure, a ticking time bomb. I needed to finish something meaningful, and I needed to do it soon.ย 

My reason for wanting to write was grandiose and ego driven. I could only pull...

The 4th Decade

30s are tough from a lot of my reading. A lot of significant events tend to happen then. The one that becomes stressful is that you are expected to make very long term decisions. Like a partner, career, house and maybe even legacy :).ย
