Advising Some Cool Startups [An Update]
So for the past few cohorts of the Founder Institute Keystone accelerator sessions, I’ve been mentoring some pretty cool startups. Of them, three I’m getting more involved post-FI. The big one is Public Assembly, which is morphing and pivoting into something great. More on that in a later post. The other two are currently in…

We Survived 4 days/3 Nights On Our Own
This weekend my wife, Meredith, went on a much needed break to Cape Cod with her girl friends from college. This left me home with the 11 yr old pre-teen. He and I did pretty good, minus some butting of heads. Last night and this morning were a bit tough because we were both ready…

Holy Shit! I’m 43.
Yea, I guess I’m middle aged. Good grief. So far just been relaxing and enjoying my day. Sushi for dinner and some beer. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, so Mere will have a chance to relax and kickback some. Being middle aged doesn’t feel that bad, besides the joints aren’t what they used to be. But…

Love This Quote
Saw this on a YouTube video where the YouTuber goes to the pinball museum in Las Vegas. She liked the quote and shared it and it resonated with me too. Here’s the link to Tory Delury’s vanlife channel and the actual video.

Mastodon Is Now A U.S. Non-Profit
I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same. People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the…

AI Companies Abound, But Some Are Shit
I made a mistake. I thought I was re-upping my Midjourney subscription and saw that DaVinci AI was associated (probably because they use Midjourney in some way) with Midjourney. So stupidly I paid for a year of DaVinci AI and later found out two things: Asked them for a refund. Guess what! Radio silence. 😵💫😡💩

Passports ‘R Us
Went to USPS in Dublin, PA to get passports all squared away. We were going to do a passport cards, then heard that it’s better to do a passport book because it’s good for longer and if we came back later to do a booklet it’ll cost more money, be more of a hassle and…

I Went iPhone.
Yes, Mr. Android went iPhone. I did it for a number of reasons. First of all we got the 11 yr old kiddo a data/phone line, so it made sense for us to all be on the same platform. Apple tends to be more secure, keyword on tends, so we went that route. I’ve also…

The Latest Episode Of This Week in Google Was The Best Yet.
The latest episode of This Week in Google was the best yet. I enjoy most, if not all, TWiT.tv’s shows, with TWiG being my penultimate. I think it might be the fact that I’m a Jeff Jarvis groupie. And Paris Martineau is fabulous and has the perfect amount of snark and sass mixed with so…

Philly’s New Mayor Wants People To Return To The Office
There was an interesting post on LinkedIn from a colleague of mine, Mike Krupit, about RTO (return to office) proclamation by Philadelphia’s new mayor. I’m torn on this. First off I’m an entrepreneur and my team is 100% remote. We always have been. It never made sense to have an office when all the work…
