Benevolent Business
As usual, I’m working on a startup company that I think will change the world. Not yet ready to release/announce it here, but I just saw an inspiring seminar by Paul Graham that mirrors my sentiments on benevolent startups and wanted to share it with you.
The video below is from Startup School, a collection of free seminars given by some remarkable speakers.
1 CommentThoughts on Life & Death (Cont.)
If you haven’t seen Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’ where he shares his thoughts on life & death, you’re missing out. I couldn’t agree more with his approach to making the most of life despite a rapidly impending death.
I’ve embedded Randy’s full lecture below (1h 15m)
Some of you may prefer this shortened (12 min) version he provided on Oprah.
& for some different thoughts with the same aim, you might enjoy this podcast where I share some of my personal strategies for keeping it positive despite impending death. Enjoy!

Back in Business!
Sorry for the delay between postings. I moved to Ann Arbor, started work at Google, went a while without internet, etc. I made a quick video of the new apartment a few days ago & am posting it here for those interested. I realize exposing what a cornball I am may disqualify myself from any position of major responsibility in the future, but I am fine with that. I’m an eccentric individual & I’ve learned enough to be confident & happy in my entrepreneurial\business endeavors regardless of being a total nerd. w/o further ado, the new apartment!
