There will always be someone better, smarter, more skilled, more passionate, more eloquent than me. Anything good I have, for however brief a time, I’m thankful to God. Any blessings, any lessons, any gifts that I may be given, I don’t want to keep to myself, but share. I want to be the best me I can, filling Gods purpose, and I want to share that with others.

Two good friends and I are starting LabTwentyFour. A few weekends this semester we are going to take 24 hours and go from idea to released product. we’ve already got some good ideas cooking. But let me know if there is anything you would like to see us build (preferably a web/mobile app).

An informal review of Forbes wealthiest people in America shows that only 19 of the top 50 obtained their fortune from the family business. Why do we despise them? Why do we wish to take their money from them? These are entrepreneurs that create millions of jobs and are the engines of America’s economic growth and power. They created vast wealth by hard work and intelligence, not from inheritance, as is the case with many other nations around the world. These people should be celebrated and looked to for inspiration, not vilified. The future of our economy depends on the next generation seeking to make great companies and great fortunes in America just as these men and women have done over the past 60 years.

Another interesting note, at least nine of the 50 were immigrants or children of immigrants. Another reason we need to reform our immigration system.

Weddings vs. Marriage: A Business Story

So true, so very true, must watch!

Turntable.fm - It’s the best way to discover music hands down. Nothing beats actual DJs to curate music, Pandora et al can come close and I’ve found great music through them, but in the limited time I’ve been on Turntable.fm, it has been fantastic. There are also a lot more revenue stream options here than just straight up radio. 

Vibe.me - Most social networks evolve (devolve) to link sharing and general status reports. However few people share their emotions, but emotions are one of the few things that really unites us as people. Just going to this site gives me 

Square - So maybe it’s not a true startup anymore, but I still see big things for this company. It has a great team and seems to be positioned to be one of the few players who can actually make money transfers between normal people simple and easy. It also has tremendous profit potential.

Foursquare - Again startup is debatable, but there is still so much ahead for this company. Checkins is just the surface for this company, by itself only something for early adopters. But Foursquare is really going to connect the physical and virtual worlds in my opinion. It will be fantastic!

It has been one month since everything changed. I’m in a new city, with all new people, doing new work. The only constants are my family and my God.

It might seem frightening or difficult but it has been neither. It has been exhilarating. Small changes often improve your live, but they don’t improve your mindset as much. 

Such drastic change has improved my life, but also my mindset. I have grown. 

I hope everyone takes any opportunity they can to shake things up and see a new world.

Short logic: Groupon IPO: Pass on this deal

shortlogic:

Groupon has filed its S-1 and hopes to raise $750M in its initial public offering. Given they’re currently losing a staggering $117M per quarter, despite revenues of $644M, they’ll be burning through that cash almost as soon as it hits their account.

At the moment, it’s costing them $1.43 to…

Absolutely necessary, but I'll believe it when I see it...

White House reviewing regulation to eliminate or reduce outdated, burdensome laws. I’m hopeful, but this looks a lot like, “Hey we are reviewing this, and looking into that” I’ll believe it when I see it.

Was considering a quick trip over to the Bahamas with my friend Sven before he headed back to Germany. Unfortunately the taxes and fees were another $132. This has happened more than once. If you want more tourism, reduce or get rid of these taxes on airfare. Just charge a sales tax. You will get more tourists and more sales tax, your economy will improve giving you people with better incomes which give you more tax!

I cannot open a package fo Bobli pizza crusts without scissors or a knife. Is that bad customer service?
