I sometimes wonder why venture capital hasn’t coded more feminine. The cynic in me say because it makes money and money accords status. Where there is status there are men competing for it. Which is a good thing in my book. I just happen to find the kind of investing I do to be so […]

Day 1254 and Zipppp
I hadn’t expected to have a busy day. I’m really not enjoying having Covid. It’s an inconvenience and it sucks. But suddenly I was getting all good news from all sides. A startup with a round. Another founder preparing to go out for an enviable raise with exceptional traction. An SPV for a round everyone […]
Day 1251 and Summer Covid
I don’t know why this didn’t occur anyone earlier but this morning as I went about my news review the New York Times surfaced a piece on handling a rise in summer covid cases. My brain went huh so I took a Covid and as it turns out this viral thing is in fact just […]
Day 1246 and Slightly Disappointed
I am a bit tired so this could all be jet lag speaking but I’m feeling slightly disappointed. While I’ve found great inspiration in the work of my peers, I see the failures and venality too. I am at Consensus and I’m unsure if I feel like we’ve got enough people building the future I […]
A bad workman blames his tools Idiom As we rapidly accelerate the power of our computing tools, machine learning has blossomed into the most heated topic in government policy, business strategy, and popular culture, as artificial intelligence begins to affect everyday life.

It was a record breaking day for travel. I was on a route […]
Day 1243 and Majesty
I love flying over mountain ranges. One of the highlights of living in the western Rocky Mountain Range is flying over peaks you’d never see any other way but by air. Air travel remains the most magic aspect of modern living. I’m transitioning through Munich on my way to Houston and eventually Austin for Consensus […]
Day 1242 and Finding You
My “emotional work” tag has years of self exploration. One aspect of self understanding that remains elusive for so many of us is the belief that authenticity is the goal over mere improvement. I’ve come to see the goal of emotional work as the work you do to to find yourself. You aren’t trying to […]
I’ll be in Austin Texas next week for Consensus 2024. I’ve really enjoyed my last couple of years attending. The entire crypto industry gathers for it giving it a summer camp feel. Or as Coindesk says “10 years of decentralizing the future” which undersells their role in reporting the industry. The conference coincided with the […]
Day 1237 and Having
“Having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true” Spock “Time Amok” Star Trek The Original Series. 1967 Longing, yearning, pining, wishing…such is the romance of wanting . A simple verb “to want” has many beautiful words associated with its fantasies. Perhaps this is […]
