The second dream…
About a year ago I had a very distinct dream that was as unique in its odd storyline as it was in the strange clarity of my memory of it the next day. I was Future-Time-Dave (FTD), hair was blonde (in my dreams I am not yet gray) and short and pointy, dressed in jet […]

for the love of the game
First, as near as I can tell, pro football has replaced baseball as the “national pastime”, at least as it is measured by maniacal fandom and diehard commitment. Today’s anguish — how do I get my boys to love football? Yesterday I sat with a dad that I barely knew while our kids had a […]

The “known unknown” vs the “unknown unknown”
Unplanned Risk I run a startup and there’s a bunch of risks I plan for (competitive, talent, data breach) and a long list of minor ones I don’t plan for – the “known unknown” vs the “unknown unknown”. Today I found out about a major risk I had not planned for that I’m hoping does […]

This year, following Ford’s obsession with the Percy Jackson book series and all things “son of Poseidon”, his request […]

9/11
I was in NY on 9/11. My apartment was next to St. Vincent’s where they planned to bring survivors. I rode a bus up to Columbia Hospital to give blood, but ended up just registering the busloads of donors. The day is worth more than this short prose, but not the topic of the moment. […]

Cows + Cars
It is the thing of lore and glory to be on the stage at Techcrunch Disrupt. This year LIGHTHOUSE made the “second” stage as part of a health + wellness track – not quite the big chance at glory, but I still got a first hand look at The Show. Big Value: I met the […]

Keeping Busy
Because I don’t possibly have enough to do with this whole startup thing and kids and whatever other stuff I’m pursuing, I also like to have one or two side projects going to keep the blade sharp. Currently I am working with two wildly different groups. The first is AURA, or the Association of Universities […]
