Yahoo + Tumblr
I met David Karp, the founder/ceo of Tumblr when he was 19. I was immediately taken with his passion and drive to create wonderful things. Those days, David was building within his consulting company called Davidville. My friend Fred Seibert made the intro and I’m forever grateful for that. Not too long after that David launched Tumblr to the world and I became one of it’s earliest users. I...

One size doesn't fit all
One thing you learn as a parent is how different one child is from another and as result what works for one kid doesn’t necessarily work for another. An example in our house: we have 1 kid in private school and 2 kids in public school. I think there is a tendency in startup land to believe that what works in one place should work in another. We see it all the time. Former Google employees...

Jelly
More than six years ago I joined Twitter as a user of the service. I was immediately taken by it’s simplicity, power and how it connected us all. And it had this rare combination of being fun and important at the same time. I was so taken with the product that I asked my friends for an introduction to the founders. The first Twitter cofounder I met was Biz. We hit it off and shortly after that I...

How far back can you remember?
After dinner last night, Lauren and I were talking about some of our earliest memories. She has the most specific memories of her childhood. She can recall the color of her bedroom walls from the house she lived in as well as other specifics that are amazing to me.  My memory is completely different. For example, we lived in one house when I was 5-10years old and then moved. I don’t...

A review of some gear I picked up recently
It’s been awhile since I wrote up some stuff on gear. This year I’ve picked up a few things so I thought I would share.  1. Filson Small Field Bag. I love this bag. I got the tan one with brown leather trim/straps. It fits my Leica M9, a couple Field Notes pads, and a Mophie Juice sled. It also fits a modified gorilla pod which I often bring along.  2. V-Moda Crossfade m80...

Picking up our own tab
In the earliest days of a company the most critical things are team & product development. Founders energy needs to be primarily focused on those two things. Everything else is often a distraction. Raising capital for startup companies also requires a big effort. Choosing the right investors that respect/support your vision, that you can imagine working with and can help isn’t an easy task...
