As you may know, I like writing down 10 New Year’s Resolutions and posting them on the wall in my bedroom by the door. It’s a constant reminder for myself throughout the year. This year, I kept my resolutions simple. Less specific means I won’t “finish” anything in particular, but my goal here is “progress, […]

TL;DR – have our kids do it. Every major problem in the world – hunger, poverty, environment, etc. – is rooted in a complex system of intertwined systems: culture, politics, economics, and so on. I assume there are major problems we have yet to realize (or accept as a society), but let’s focus for now […]

Sometimes I get jealous of trees. Because they never have to ask themselves, where am I going? They’re in one place, their whole life, and they don’t really have a choice. So I guess there’s no point in wondering if they’re in the right place. As far as they’re concerned, it’s the only place. Maybe […]

When it comes to life, it’s all about balance. At least that’s what I’ve come to conclude based on my current life experiences. As with anything, it’s subject to change. For every piece of advice I’ve read or received, I’ve heard the opposite. Given the context, they usually both make sense to me. When a […]

At the beginning of 2012, I wrote down 10 New Year’s Resolutions and taped it on my wall. At the end of the year, I reviewed my resolutions. I started this process without a specific outcome in mind, but found that I learned a lot about myself, not just from reflecting on my resolutions, but […]

The book Tuesday’s With Morrie, which I read in middle school, was life changing. It got me to think and talk about all the things that I think now are some of the most important things to think and talk about. Mitch, in the book, meets with Morrie every Tuesday, and each week they talk […]

Honestly, I’m sick of hearing about the Government Shutdown. Republicans hate Obamacare, Democrats are hating the Republican’s taking the Government “hostage”. I’m not here to point out who’s right or wrong. I’m more interested in why this is happening. That’s when I came across this amazing article: This Government Shutdown Won’t Be Our Last. The […]

Update: Found it! Two weeks later, this article popped up on TechCrunch: Splice Is GitHub for Musicians. (I wrote this article on Sept 26, TechCrunch article is Oct 9) What if I could take a bass beat that you created, and a strum that let’s say Julie created and create my own song directly on […]

These are actually taken straight out of Pandora’s recent S-3 filings, where you can also see things like their annual revenue, expenses, etc. I’m sharing this because I think it’s important, especially if you’re in the music/tech space, and because I assume most of my friends don’t read through S-3 filings… And if you’re an […]

Since spreadsheets and databases are pretty much the same thing, I thought it would make sense to have a web publishing platform built on Google Spreadsheet. After taking a look around, I’m having difficulty finding anything. I checked out the Google Spreadsheet API, and they seem to have all the functionality you need to build […]
