they disappear, one by one…
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fear. Glenn Clark Remember the scene in Fight Club where he looks around his apartment and it’s all Ikea? All the pretty pictures in the catalogs convince you that life would be as perfect as the […]
begin act iv.
Have you ever thought of your life in acts? I have. I’m about to start act iv in my life and it’s exciting. Act I was growing up. I’ll end this at freshman year in high school. Without going into a ton of detail (maybe that’s another post) let’s say that like most driven people, […]
life changes.
I’m on the verge of some pretty big changes. I’ll be posting more in a few days and then trying to post a flurry of updates documenting my life changes. It’s exciting. I’m excited. Stay tuned…
simple stories. and simple people.
I want to share a musing on The Apprentice because it ties in nicely with a personal reflection that’s been in my thoughts a lot lately. I’m still amazed at how similar main elements from The Apprentice are to every day life. The Apprentice was all about simplicity. I’m not talking about the tasks, but […]
frontline: best non-fiction show on TV
Frontline is on PBS, but is also available online. Think of it as a very extended 60 Minutes. So instead of a 20-minute segment, they’ll do an hour+ deep-dive. I’ve seen and totally recommend these episodes which are online: News War (on the state of the news and media industry and where it’s going) Mormons (a […]
efficient markets? ha!
The stock markets for the past 3 weeks has been just fascinating. And by fascinating, I mean quite crazy and on most days, quite painful. I studied Finance at Rutgers, and we learned a lot about how “efficient” the markets were. How all available and whispered about information is efficiently synthesized by the vast army […]
tech bubble 2.0: coming soon to a market near you?
I shudder to even type the words, but I wonder if another stock market tech bubble is forming. The last time we were here, at the end of the last decade, everyone’s cash flowed into tech and telecom because it seemed like a sure thing. Exuberance all around. Today, the exuberance is missing– but the […]
movie review: “the kingdom”
I think the last movie review I wrote was for the high school paper. In honor of having just seen a sneak preview for the movie “The Kingdom” tonight, and since it doesn’t open until the end of September, I thought it would be fun to add mine. The Kingdom is a must-see. The action […]
excellence is the ultimate meme.
Around 11 on Sunday night, I went to go see The Bourne Ultimatum. It was excellent: The acting, direction, writing, action sequences, music, timing– everything. Since then I’ve read a few articles about how well Matt Damon, the lead actor playing Bourne, and Paul Greengrass, the director of the film, worked together and generally hailing the […]
40 under 40!
To date, I haven’t posted any of the radio, newspaper, or tv coverage that’s found it’s way to me since The Apprentice. Mostly because it was all so random and I never really found it that interesting. But Advertising Age just announced their “40 under 40” list, and I’m quite honored (and surprised) to be […]
