You may recall the old aphorism about marriage. Men and women have very different goals for the institution and how it will or won’t change them. “Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed” I don’t recall having any […]
I am exhausted. A bunch of wins have come back to back to back and I’m doing the “wait are we winning” dance in my head. It’s strange dance because I want to enjoy the victories of our crew but it’s always a bit of a whirlwind to wonder and second guesss “is this really […]
As I age from maiden into crone (many millennials missed mother) I find myself uncovering emotions I missed during the forced march through corporate feminism & Girlbossism. The meritocracy takes its pound of flesh. I climbed the chaos ladder & am grateful for my perch but I did not understand what I sacrificed to participate […]
I make a living pricing risk. I do that through investment but also a few highly specialized skills I deploy on behalf of founders of startups. The shortest articulation is that I am very good at spotting subcultures and helping them come into the mainstream and find a market that will pay them. Not all […]
The hardest part of any holiday for me is the socializing. I enjoy spending time with our friends, neighbors and family. It’s just such a high cost activity. The twinge of jealousy that I feel towards the extroverted and able body is real. I don’t necessarily want to change who I am. I’ve come to […]
My mother is a real free thinker hippie iconoclast type. I’ve written extensively about my hippie Whole Earth Catalog meets Silicon Valley progressive technologist upbringing if you’d like to get a taste. Her generation’s history of counter culture and inevitable rise to power has many cautionary tales we’d do well to review. The limits of […]
We’ve reached a point in America where the consular visa services (for tourism, business & academic visits) as well as the wider immigration services (for people intending to work here, become permanent residents or citizens) have made finding a clear legal path for any type of visa non-viable. The Cato Institute describes it as nearly impossible. I haven’t been […]
I should be shilling myself in today’s installment of writing everyday. But I’m a little tired to pull off the full bragging I’d like. One of my favorite financial news and analysis sources, Axios Pro-Rata, featured my little pre-seed fund chaotic.capital with an in-depth look at resiliency technology. It’s a big deal to me because […]
Silicon Valley is a place in Northern California. It’s also accurate to say that Silicon Valley is also a mindset that knows no geographic boundaries. If you will indulge me I’ve coined a term for this syncretic network state. I’m calling it the Silicon Diaspora. While my family is from Boulder Colorado and I was […]
I’ve been one of those types that absolutely has no problem taking a shot at the Christo-fascists dorks at CPAC mincing words about eradicating trans people from public life. Fuck you, you fucking fucks, you absolutely would be fine if state sanctioned violence eliminated trans people. It’s not you being metaphorical or cute or whatever […]
