#define WHO_I_AM(x) printf(#x " is %s", x)
I have spent the whole of my adult life (and a good portion of my youth) trying to figure out who I am. I am now 32 years old and I’m 100% sure that I still don’t know everything about myself. I know what I like, I know who I like, and I know how I present myself to others. But is any of that who I am?
Let me back up. For the first time since I’ve been in Silicon Valley I am...

Gabe brings up a good (and hilarious) point.
gaberivera:
Something bothered me about Simon Dumenco’s piece about Huffington Post yesterday. Not the substance of his column, which was valid and well-argued, nor the favorable comparison to Techmeme, which was, well, favorable to Techmeme.
What irked me was the reminder that “aggregator” is a rather broad-brush term that...

Finding A Life Partner (aka: Co-Founder)
Every couple weeks I get someone approaching me asking me how they should go about finding a co-founder. There’s no right answer to that question, and anyone who says there is will be knocking on your door selling you vacuum cleaners in no time. Either way, I’m going to get my vacuum cleaner and give you the right answer.
Many people have made the analogy that finding a good...

So now the question becomes: how exactly do we get to the truth? Because if arguments/discussions don’t bring truth, then what does?

inkWire: Better Than my6sense
Pandora’s been around in it’s current incarnation for nearly a decade. if we’ve been able to do that with music for so long, why has it taken news so long to get there? Answer: laziness. That’s the only reasoning I can come up with that makes any sense, anyway.
Well, the wait is over. Now, thanks to the popularity of Facebook and Twitter, the personalized news space is...

A Quick And Extra-Clean Music-Lover's Google Music...
For the past couple of years I’ve watched the smart phone wars rage between Google and Apple. Not only has this war raged between the companies themselves, but also their consumers. The problem is that each company is publicly touting two different philosophies; and each philosophy appeals to a different type of consumer. I’m not going to go in to why Android’s openness is...
Father's Day Story, June 2011 →
I’d like it noted for the record that my Dad is awesome. I don’t give him enough credit for being in my life, but since Father’s Day is coming up. He needs to know it.
