Dancing with fire | Champaign, Iliinois, USA | Nov 2008
More unordered thoughts…
- What have been my five biggest influences? (in no order, any source, cultural, business, off the top of my head, etc.): The Beastie Boys, Ferris Bueller, The Economist, Douglas Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
- I coined the term “Quarterlife Crisis” before it became a book and a web TV series. That was before Wikipedia existed and I had a blog. C’est la vie.
- Would you pay money to use Facebook?
No? Then why do you spend your time on Facebook? Time is a precious resource, right?
Eventually we will have to move beyond advertising-supported business models. A world where we pay for a wide range of services that we currently get for free is not out of the question.
- Investing = “Allocating resources to improve quality of life.”
- When you say you don’t have enough time to do something, what you really mean is that it’s not a priority. How we spend our time is a choice, and we spend our time to align with our priorities: if you’re not spending time on it, then you’re setting it as a lower priority.
- A good friend of mine said the other day that I “live in a perpetual grey area”. He’s probably right. I’ll choose to take it as a compliment.
UPDATED: A couple more influences: Indiana Jones and MacGyver.
