Personal Content
I create a lot of content. Here’s some of it.
Content That I Update
These are things that I keep adding to.
My Library
Every book that I own, in whatever form.
My Personal Blog
I post to this very sporadically. There are posts here that go back almost 20 years.
Travel
A list of places I’ve traveled to.
Cheese Plates
I’ve been taking pictures of cheese plates for about eight years.
Workouts
A few workouts that I want to keep track off.
Patterns in Thinking
This is a weird section where I started to catalog thought models and common fallacies. It’s a continual work in progress. Quality may vary widely.
Blog Contributions
In the past, I’ve regularly contributed to a couple of blogs.
Articles from Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Very early in the history of the web, I used to edit and write for a James Bond fan site. In this capacity, I wrote a bunch of articles which I’ve started to re-format and re-publish.
Random Content
These are things that I wrote and don’t really change much.
The Long, Slow Death of Our Watering Holes
I wrote a meditation on Ray Oldenburg’s book “The Great, Good Place,” which is about the concept of public spaces and the role they play in our life. Boing Boing published it. The comments were extensive and thoughtful.
Activity Matrix
A graphic I made one day when I was struggling with a strategic decision that shows the relationship between value and execution.
Ticket to Ride
My wife and I spent some time playing “Ticket to Ride,” and I jotted down some notes on strategy.
How College Gets Paid For
We wrote this letter to one of our children while they were planning for college. I’m publishing it in case it might help other parents.
The Semantics of COVID-19
An archived Facebook post, where I examined the semantics of the pandemic – what the words were we using actually meant.
An Anti-MLM Manifesto
Twenty years ago, I turned down some friends who were trying to get me to join a multi-level marketing business. I researched the concept for a week, and then wrote them a long email, which I’ve archived here. Two decades later, it’s still just as accurate as the day I wrote it.
