Customization
I’d like to see services that allow a degree of customization over the user interface. Everyone has their preferences and there are a lot of things I’d like to rearrange on services that I already use.
I want to see the type of customization that I have with my browser or desktop on the web. I invest a lot of time in my settings and it could be a form of defensibility. I’m...

You Suck In The Face
That’s what someone my (the Millennial) generation would say about this article shown on 60 Minutes.
While there is a lot of truth scattered throughout the article, it completely misrepresents the professional profile of people my age.
This is going to be an unorganized rant, so bear with me.
You can find me wearing flip flops at all hours of the day, in any type of weather (even snow,...

Thoughts on Patents Part II
The problem with patents is that its a lot like playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo. If you shoot enough bullets, you’re bound to hit something.
0-6
It’s painful.
The Indians were swept twice on their latest road trip. In our most important series against the White Sox, we struggled to put runners on base. Travis Hafner went 1/11. What’s worse is that we now have the lowest team batting average in the league.
We’ll get through this slump because our fans recognize that you can’t abandon the team— even when...

The Golf Bet (contd)
I did it!
It took me over 10 hours, but I shot an 87, 91, and 91— using a 7 iron and a putter. I’ll never forget the look on the guy’s face at the pro-shop when we explained what we were doing. He thought we were nuts. It took some serious convincing to get two golf carts for people who weren’t even playing.
Because of the distance constraint, it was tough to hit a...
The Golf Bet
Tomorrow is the big day! I am going to play 3 rounds— 54 holes, with only a 7 iron and a putter. However, I have to carry my bag. I need to break 93 on each round, and have 15 hours to complete the task.
The other day, I was explaining to my friend how I only use a few clubs in my bag. In high school I put this to the test and played with three clubs— a putter, four iron, and seven...

Before I get into this, we need to understand digg’s explosive growth.
The brilliance of digg was the “digg this” button. When publishers realized that they could traffic from digg, they’d add this button to their website. Essentially, publishers referred their entire user base to digg with the hope that they will vote their story up the...

I Never Had A Fair Chance
Earlier I mentioned that I had my highest high on a baseball diamond. I guess you can file this post under the lowest of the lows. I’ll never forget this day— and the lessons I learned.
I was introduced to tennis when I was six years old. My older sisters were starting to take it pretty seriously, and that got me started. It was a new challenge. The synergies were amazing. I was a...
The Highest of the Highs
My family is as much of a baseball family as it is a tennis family. My Grandfather (father’s side) was a great ballplayer, but he ended his career to serve in the war. I remember getting pulled out of elementary school one day for lunch with him and his friend, Harry Danning. How cool is that? My Great Uncle on my Mom’s side played for the Pirates. Unsurprisingly, Baseball was my first...
Thoughts on Patents Part I
In 2005, I spent my entire summer slaving over a patent application for my company, Perogo Inc. Before I began, I listened to the class that patent lawyers take before the Patent Bar. It was probably the most boring 50 hours of my life. Although it sucked, the material I learned became invaluable. Had I not done this, I would not have been able to complete the provisional and application as...
