Print media’s hay day was when you they made money on both sides of the equation. Readers subscribed to the paper, and advertisers paid to advertise in it. Then, Google came along. Print media was the original industry to monetize B2C and B2B. The free + ads model is pervasive in today’s world. Facebook and…More
Places to Live, Places to Visit
Editor’s Note: When we started being digital nomads, we wanted to live one month per location. We wanted to immerse ourselves in the culture and live like locals for a minute, then bounce and do it again. Below is an edited excerpt from my diary. August 1, 2022 Zagreb Croatia It’s time I recap some…More
GitHub Copilot
Ever since I got really interested in technology, I’ve wondered what it was like for the early tech pioneers to use a computer for the first time. What sort of magic did they feel? I feel similarly about the internet. Story after story of people remembering the first time they used the internet. Those times…More
The Future of Print Journalism
Print Media had a hay day between the invention of the printing press and the internet. There were so many advertisers that newspapers were designed beginning with the ads first. The ads were laid out on the pages, then the editorial content filled in the gaps. “All the news that’s fit to print” was actually…More
Once in a Generation Opportunities
It seems like every day over the last few weeks I’ve received a notification that another growth stock is down 5%, 10%, or more. Cathie Wood’s Ark Innovation Fund sends out a weekly email outlining their positions in stocks that go up or down 15% in a single day, and most of those stocks have…More
Nobody Is Retraining a Truck Driver
Will AI take all our jobs? This is the question I’m asked most often. It’s often asked with a chuckle or laugh. It’s asked with the kind of nervousness that says, “I’m asking this question but really there’s only one answer I want to hear.” It’s a catchy headline-style question, but it’s not even the…More
The Posts I’ve Thrown Away So Far
A few weeks ago, at the end of a work day, I decided to scroll through Twitter and catch up on my reading. I had saved this blog post from a few weeks ago: Putting Ideas into Words (paulgraham.com) I had no reason to save the blog post for so long. Normally, when a tab is…More
Announcing Miranda and I’s World Tour
In December, 2020, Miranda and I went on what we expected to be a short beach walk which ended up lasting over 2 hours. We’d decided that we were going to travel the world together. We’d start in between March and May of 2022 and we’d have no end date. We were going to live…More
The VR Metaverse
There are tons of definitions for the metaverse. I think the best definition is that the metaverse is the combination of the physical and digital universe. It’s the synchronization about atoms and elements and bits and bytes. It spans device categories, times of day, and use cases. That is not my focus for this blog…More
2022 Look Ahead
My sense is that 2022 will be a return to normalcy for a large swath of the population. I think this will be driven by two factors: The SARS vaccine that will be released by Walter Reed hospital. The midterms, and both parties preaching a “move forward” mentality. My feeling was then greatly supported when…More
