Geek philosopher looking for the unique and outstanding in our everyday world. Writes better than he speaks. Listens better than both speaking and writing. Ask him if you want an opinion different from everyone else in the room.
AngelList
I rarely trade public securities anymore as there are people far better at it than I could ever be. Investing in startups, and other private businesses, is where I spend most of my personal time. AngelList is a place where I have found a place in the portfolio in between direct investing and traditional VC Fund structures. (There used to be a link to a public profile but with a site redesign it is not currently available)
If you know me and need to get in some Zoom time you can book it here. All other requests will be ignored. The calendar is not always 100% accurate, so I might need to shift a booking if we do not coordinate in advance. You can also use this to contact me with a message. If you want a higher chance of a reply, be as specific as possible when reaching out.
Photography is a passion. If something good comes out of the chaos, you will find it here. My feed is light enough for a follow, but I am probably not going to follow you back.
When there are material changes I do my best to remember to update my profile, but it does not always happen. Some information is dated and though I sometimes post information in my feed I am a rare reader here unless I am specifically tagged.
When I wrote something interesting enough for a general audience, here is where it went in days long ago. Subscribe to my Substack instead.
Reading “Seed Scapes” offers an enlightening escape from the mundane, diving deep into diverse topics with a fresh and unconventional perspective. Subscribe here to join me on the journey.
Technology, investments, politics, and interesting news. My posting is light enough to keep me in your feed without being spammed, but most likely I will not follow you back. Warning: My likes are not indications of endorsement!
Many that know me in real life make fun of a strange personal goal I have — to never consume the same beer twice. Yes, if I am out and everything on the menu is something I sampled previously, drinking is a pass for me. Feel free to join my strange journey via Untappd. No deep reviews here. Just check ins, star ratings, and toasting other people do the same. Join the club!
I love finding great new places to eat! Though I review other places too, food is where it is at. Unless I really know you, I am only accepting friend requests from other Yelp Elite members.
Facebook
Hey, I thought the list was in alphabetical order! Yes, I have a Facebook account. No, you probably cannot friend me there. I rarely use it, my friends count is smaller than Dunbar’s number, and my friend request queue is growing faster than my friends list. Bottom line — find me somewhere else above.
