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.
best sport
Went surfing this morning for the first time this year. Conditions weren’t great, the water is still pretty cold (my toes went numb), and I’m not good at it. Yet it remains my favorite sport. 🤟🤟

Flying to STL later today for my brother’s graduation. Tomorrow’s forecast shows a high of 85 and 65% humidity…we are looking at a very sticky couple of days*. I will also find out about B school in the next 36 hours. Exciting times. In other news, Recipeeper has seen ~350 returning users in the lastContinue reading “back to the lou”

It is a massive, controversial topic with both individual and societal implications. For example, my total and LDL cholesterol are very high. Conventional wisdom suggests I am at higher risk for heart diseaseContinue reading “cholesterol excites me”
morning macro email
I’ve been meaning to setup an automated email that would shoot out a bunch of charts that I like to track for managing my PA. Think interest rate curve structure and timeseries, equity market valuations, a couple of ratios, etc. If you would want this (or know of a good one that already exists), letContinue reading “morning macro email”
