Taboo Things
Spent some time looking into 2 very interesting, hugely profitable yet taboo industries lately. It’s really interesting to see things that are so loved yet so hated depending on the situation. Marijuana has been a hugely debated topic of late and money is beginning to pour into it. With the ‘light’ on the horizon for recreational use in several huge states, many institutional investors are…

Outside the Box
It’s been an interesting few days in here in Vegas at CES 2016 hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones. Seems like it’s THE place for everyone to bring the next world changing idea to light and wow the world. As all things are though… It wasn’t ALL good. Cool. 1. VR VR VR VR! What a year it was for VR and very cool to see all the different companies jump into the space. Although there…

time to reboot!
time to reboot! #newyear #resolutions #2016
It’s that time of the year again where we all get to reflect on the things we’ve accomplished (or didn’t) over the past 364 days. The holiday season (this is now the most pc way to say it right?) is always a frenzied celebration of accomplishment and bittersweet missed goals. I believe that the best way to approach it all is to always be positive, keep your head up and charge ahead! The…

the force awakens.
It’s been a while since the last post but what a year. Our plan of creating and managing systematic chaos has been surprisingly fruitful! Not to say that this is the most effective way of doing things but there’s a different story for everything. Luckily in ours, we were prepared for the opportunities. It feels like the plot has finally come together and now we can buckle down and focus on…

Are all new things good?
Are all new things good? Things to think about.
Read an interesting article today from the NYT written by William Cohan http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/08/business/dealbook/profits-and-ethics-collide-in-nameless-turmoil.html?_r=0 and found the observations and questions asked extremely interesting. Are all shiny new things good?
This is a question that arises quite often in the VC and startup world. What is this for? What problem does this…

Long Time Coming......
Long Time Coming...... thoughts and reflections over 6 months.
It’s funny to see how things progress sometimes. Since the last post, I’ve gone through and seen a sea ,if not ocean, of change in so many things in my life. From virtual reality to business structures to emails, there has been no shortage of traveling int circles and ending back at square 1 (but with a better view and experience).
Not all time is lost when going in a full circle. I now feel…

sports games and analytics
I’m not sure about everyone out there but I’ve slowly evolved over the years into a “sports” gamer. I pretty much exclusively play NBA2K and Fifa nowadays but do try and spend some time looking at other games both within the sports genre and the more mainstream FPS and MMORPGs.
What is amazing to me is that sports games basically give you a SLIGHT improvement with the physics and graphics engine…

california
spent close to a week over here now between LA and SF and have really come to believe that this is one of the best places to be in the summer. The weather is nice, people are generally upbeat and happy and there is a bunch of stuff going on everywhere, including NFL opening day.
Happy to have seen old friends and met new ones… Always good to come back and get close to everything again and get…

Ice Buckets. Or would you rather.....?
Ice Buckets. #ngo #life #choices #culture
So I can’t help but notice that more and more people are starting to do this ALS ice bucket challenge. Although I think the thoughts behind it is great, I have serious questions as to WHAT is actually going on. From what I’ve noticed, the dialogue tends to go something like “I’ve been “CALLED OUT” by xxx to do the “als” ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE”!!! “ROAR!!!”.
OK. Are we forgetting what the…

Road Trip. #travel #tools #planning
Planning trips has always been somewhat of a mixed experience. On one hand, I’m excited and look forward to the new things and places on the trip but on the other hand sifting through the infinite number of repetitive recommendations is incredibly excruciating and painful.
With the ever increasing number of travel related apps out there I still don’t feel satisfied by any of the given…

What about our safety?
With the new episode of Russian hackers storming the barn that is the world of Internet security months after Heartbleed tore a hole in the system, it brings me to think about our general sense of security in the modern world. We are told to have different and stronger passwords for everything but yet it seems that there are systemic breakdowns that edge ever closer to disrupting our world as a…

re-Learning the Ropes
I want to talk about the process of figuring shit out! This is something that I’ve been feeling heavily as of late……. not that I haven’t felt this way many many times before at different junctures but it hits you just as hard every time this 9 headed beast shows its head(s) again. Being a coordinator is hard. Being a front man is hard. Being a leader (a culmination of both?) is even harder. This…

Teamwork http://wp.me/s4L1wT-teamwork
As we all know, a difference in position can result in significantly different perspectives and outcomes. This is a universal theme that runs deep in daily business, life and sports. Freedom fighter or Terrorist? Creating or destroying? Enthusiastic or annoying? Really hard to say sometimes and even harder to take a step to take it all in slowly and fairly. (feels like a bad sentence) As an…

Fame and Fortune... and tech.
Random thoughts on "Fame, Fortune and Tech."
We all know that artists & celebrities get a lot of attention. They capture our imaginations and bring us to new, wonderful and thrilling worlds. They’re also the ones seducing us with cool clothes, good food, baller lifestyles and new brands to believe in. What is it about them that completely mesmerises our senses into submission? I’m not sure what it is nor will pretend like I know although…

Realities
My first blog entry. Realities
Under very random circumstances, quite a few things I’ve experienced recently have made me think about “reality”. It’s not in a ‘the world is not flat’ type of way, but more about how far we’ve all come and how much there is to go. Bare with me.
Not more than 3 months ago, I had the opportunity to truly experience Virtual Reality for the first time. As a kid, I remember thinking of HMDs (are…
