With The Band

When I was in college, I ate a ton of chinese food (didn’t help my health, but I lost it all after graduation).
I collected all the fortunes I and my friends received, and years later, put it altogether.

Like so many things from my college experience, I never realized how amazing this was until years later.
Rather than taking a “usual” internship at a government agency or consulting company for the summer, I instead chose to stay on campus for the summer, and in addition to a lot of relaxing, worked at two amazing […]

JESS3 has been working on a not-so-secret project for C-SPAN in the past few weeks.
TechCrunch, the best tech blog out there, just reported on it. C-SPAN is still ironing out some last issues, but IT’S ALIVE!
Read it.
A very big moment!
Much more to come about it later.

There have been many studies and articles about the changes in the human mind due to the Internet. The Atlantic has a particularly powerful one. Even as I was reading it, I constantly found myself switching around to email, twitter, facebook, google reader, etc.

Long time no posting. I’ve been rockin’ hard at JESS3. It’s been trying times, but I’m learning a lot and we’re making great things. Unfortunately that means no blog-reading, no blogging, and a host of other things sacrificed. Opportunity costs of getting things done. I love a good challenge.

It’s been exactly two years since I […]

Alex and I have been dating two years today.

The beginning of a new year, like any other major milestone, is always a time for reflection, evaluation, and prediction. Main stream media, websites, bloggers, all give predictions (I’m guilty as well). This year, it’s one of three things:

Mobile - We’ve seen this prediction at least half a dozen times. I still see too many […]

I’ve been out of college for a year and a half now (has it been that much/little?). I’ve been paying serious attention to the future, and more importantly, how I should approach my career.
One of Marc Andreessen’s blog posts has been the most influential and eye opening. Instead of the “if you had a million […]
