Do you recall a time when you “looked up to someone?” I mean this in the genuine possibly naive sense of admiration, not the specific act of being shorter than someone and looking up to meet their gaze. As 5’3” female I’m basically always looking up. Alas I’ve found that genuine admiration is in much […]

Day 881 and Set a Timer
I’ve always been the type of thinker who enjoy playing with differences and similarities. I find it pleasing to see common attributes of humanity. I’m soothed seeing we are more alike than not even across vast genetic & cultural distances. I equally enjoy spotting games of “one thing is not like the other” as part […]

Day 816 and S Tier
I fancy myself as someone who enjoys playing games. I mostly play the great game but I enjoy a good stupid grinder. Pokémon Go, Duolingo, and Fitocracy all appeal to my sense of hard work mattering. But, of course, games have exploits. Some of them are significant. Sometimes leveling up is just a matter of […]
Everyone calm the fuck down and stop panicking while we consider the most dreaded phrase in Silicon Valley: “Balaji was right”. Sometimes people use a method of persuading you from the extremes.

Day 722 and Extreme
When Stephen Colbert was still the titular character on his Comedy Central Show he had the perfect delivery for the word extreme.

I’ll often find myself jealous of other people who enjoy active hobbies. My husband plays tennis and shoots competitively. Every […]
A well dressed, tall, friendly looking white gentleman tried to join me on an otherwise empty blue velvet couch that I had deliberately planted myself in the middle of to avoid socializing. All that was missing was a “closed for business” sign around my neck. I had attempted to tell him “no actually this seat […]

Day 519 and Dogged
I am a obsessive. I latch onto shit. If I’ve got a problem in front of me I will absolutely fixate until the every blocker to solving said problem is removed. If a blocker cannot be removed, say it’s 11pm and shit is closed, then I hope you want to hear about it all night. […]

Day 447 and For Others
Yesterday I reminded myself that I write for me. The choice to write is one I’ve prioritized day in and day out. Today I organized my entire day for someone else. I regret it. My Airbnb was supposed to be cleaned today. The owner texted me as reminder to be out of the apartment from […]

Day 392 and Deal Flow
I wrote about my general philosophy about the futility of the typical hour long deck based venture pitch two days ago. I explained that I’d rather have a conversation with founders. So if you want to pitch me just hop on over to a Telegram chat or my Twitter DMs. Let’s talk and learn and […]
