Doing the annual usage of hometown tax in Japan (see below) and I just love this option in a survey from one farming community, from which we are ordering a monthly subscription to 5kg of rice: Connection to $TOWN: "It begins today." kalzumeus.com/2018/10/19/jap…

You know these last 2 weeks were supposed to be my vacations and we’re currently on a road trip. Trying to find my email with my conditions that were so unacceptable to them, but one of them is basically point #1 here: googlewalkout.medium.com/standing-with-…

Curious if the mental moves in Polya's 'How to Solve It' would be helpful to an average VC or biotech scientist. They might be as useful as reading Charlie Munger? But how much has he changed the effectiveness of different people in those professions?

Stumbled upon this gem of a documentary on Charles and Ray Eames mubi.com/films/eames-th…. Quotes I'm adding to my commonplace book: - "Never delegate understanding" - "The best for the most for the least" - "Take your pleasure seriously"

The thing I love about Studio Ghibli films is how gorgeously non-linear and imaginative they are. The art is also unparalleled. So different from western animation that is mostly predictable and frankly dull.

Design is communication. Back in college, I asked a designer if there was one book he recommended reading. He pointed me to Made to Stick by Chip & Dan Heath. It's transformed the way I give presentations, esp. when it comes to user research.

Part of empathic listening is recognizing that every person has a history. What is going on for them now stems from their experiences. It’s not something they invented; it’s a direct line from their past to the present. Give it respect.
