Reading @kwamealexander's "Booked" & Virginia Woolf's "To The Lighthouse" this week. Loving the VERY different styles at the same time. (And particularly loved this quote from "Booked"):

Best quote from today's breakfast conversation: "Dealing with your own stupidity for a long time does not mean you have #grit."

Could not agree more! Let's avoid busy bragging when it comes to reading "Why reading 100 books a year won't make you successful" by Aytekin medium.com/swlh/why-readi…

So calming to watch.

#HappyGalentinesDay!

Best things to see/do in #Dublin. Particularly interested in post-war 1920s. TU!

Loved visiting Walter Will Wawrinka Bing today. Glad I did 2 tours. Everybody was so helpful & friendly. Fabulous exhibits. Appreciated that even people from Dublin were visiting for the first time, not just us tourists! Thx for a wonderful time! (Lunch at Hatch and Sons was perfect, too)

Hotel booking software needs to change. Some of us need to book 2 types of rooms under the same reservation. All seem to force you to reserve both rooms as same room type, make 2 separate reservations, or call customer support. Should be easier!

I foresee MBAs studying Boeing's handling of the MAX 8 crashes in many a case study.

Stepdaughter: Let's put on some music. Me: OK. What do you want to listen to? SD: How about some throwback? Me: Sure! Which era? 80s? 90s? SD: No, like throwback for me. Me: Like what kind of artist? SD: Bruno Mars. NEWSFLASH: Apparently Burno Mars is now throwback music.

If you see someone (even someone "well-respected") giving bad advice, politely call them on it or just express a diff POV. A. What is the point of having bad info sitting there? B. It's ok to have differing POVs in a community. C. Some "well-respected" people are full of crap.

I love living in #HTX, but it would be a helluva lot better if there were no cockroaches here surprising us as we get ready in the morning.

Just finished "Last Days of Night" by @MrGrahamMoore. Awesome read for science, #startups, #innovation folks. 19th c awe over electricity & light bulbs reminded me of a dad I saw at grocery store last weekend in awe of smore flavored poptarts. Wonder still exists.

This guy is obsessed with watching fire, taking naps, and eating chicken with gravy. He's also a fan of sweaty gym clothes (gross, I know) and any box, suitcase, or laundry basket he can find. Happy #NationalPetDay, Lenny! 😍🐱

Over the years, there has been plenty of discussion around cold emails/outreaches to VCs. Some VCs have said they welcome it, and some say they will only take warm intros. To each their own on this topic, but some thoughts: Thread/

Started the day with some gargoyles and art at Tate.

To restaurants not willing to seat solo diners on weekends: just charge me a minimum. I want to try your food.

And your system literally just kicked me off the call. What is going on????

New startup idea? Helping women get social media accounts (like Twitter handles) with married names. So many are already claimed, but would be great to keep all these accounts consistent...

When did it become okay to be more offended by what someone with no power says than by what someone with power does?
