I had a thought about health/longevity recently. MY grandpa, aged 87, and Warren Buffett, aged 92, (n=2) have both lived a long time and have both kept their mental performance intact well into “old age”. There are some interesting similarities between their two lives: So my not completely unsubstantiated theory (credit to dad) is thatContinue reading “Unsubstantiated thoughts on longevity”

Bringing the Blog Back
My last blog post was an inexcusable 5 months ago, but don’t worry loyal readers, I’m bringing THE BLOG BACK TO LIFE! So let’s get to it. I posted 106 times in 2022 (note: this is your friendly reminder that you voluntarily subscribe to this spam factory). I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading most of my postsContinue reading “Bringing the Blog Back”
On the Road (IV)
The clock reads 7am and I am eating breakfast in my hotel. I glance out the window to my left and notice two adult polar bears and a small, juvenile one in tow. One of the adults is dragging a bloody seal carcass along. A walrus glides along the ice in the distance followed byContinue reading “On the Road (IV)”
On the Road (III)
My last post was 7 days ago. Since then I’ve visited 3 additional cities and spent around 17 hours traveling by train. Plus I made some friends! To recap: I took the train from Switzerland to Munich. My Munich hotel was situated in an arabic neighborhood, so after eating a traditional German dinner of steak,Continue reading “On the Road (III)”
On the Road (II)
It is 9:15am in the Swiss mountain village of Murren, my new home for about 36 hours. For those who don’t have time to read my rant, I will cut to the chase – the Swiss Alps are unbelievably awesome, especially if you enjoy hiking (or presumably skiing, although I can’t comment there). First, aContinue reading “On the Road (II)”
On the Road
Well actually on a train currently. *Disclosure: this is a travel blog for the next month. You have been warned. A quick recap to set the scene. July 2nd. Moved my belongings into my Cambridge apartment. Packed my travel clothes/stuff into an orange, 45 liter REI backpack. Flew to Nantucket to hang with my parentsContinue reading “On the Road”
Market Perspectives: You Can Run But You Can’t Hide
Periodically, I try to refresh my views on financial markets so that I can adequately manage my portfolio. The last time I ran through this exercise was early February, and it seems I had a solid handle on market dynamics then. Hopefully this remains true today. I’ve recently consumed several pieces of content that areContinue reading “Market Perspectives: You Can Run But You Can’t Hide”
the blog is not dead
Recently I’ve started to journal almost daily, and this has certainly squashed my blogging frequency. It has been a nice change though. Why? When I write a journal entry I feel 0 pressure to make it coherent or interesting. I’m also (unsurprisingly) more vulnerable in a private journal vs blogging publicly on the internet (wellContinue reading “the blog is not dead”
my values and principles
I read an interesting article recently – here is my summary: time is an individual’s most precious resource obsession with productivity stems from a fear of death (otherwise known as an expiration of your time) using productivity techniques is an attempt to minimize future regret, but when you consistently approach your time through the lensContinue reading “my values and principles”
to spam or not to spam…
Debating whether to add popups to Recipeeper asking users to sign up. Feels kind of spammy, but also the thing is free…so it seems like a reasonable request. Need those emails.
