Hey kids,
I am working on an application to help us tell one another ‘hey - you’re awesome’ both digitally and socially. Give it a look and tell me what you think!

“Growth hackers are a hybrid of marketer and coder, one who looks at the traditional question of “How do I get customers for my product?” and answers with A/B tests, landing pages, viral factor, email deliverability, and Open Graph. On top of this, they layer the discipline of direct marketing, with its emphasis on quantitative measurement, scenario modeling via spreadsheets, and a lot of database queries. If a startup is pre-product/market fit, growth hackers can make sure virality is embedded at the core of a product. After product/market fit, they can help run up the score on what’s already working.”

- Andrew Chen talks about the new Growth Hacker - the coder and marketer combined. This is testament to the fact that coding is fast becoming the new literacy.

Startups, life, learning and happiness: What online gaming taught me about startups:

Whilst researching for the Achieving overnight success: Kevin Systrom piece I published two weeks ago, I was excited to see that one of Systrom’s earliest recollections of something that impacted his journey with startups was that he played Doom II a lot:

“That was how I got into it…

A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…

I woke up late and called Kobalt immediately, I was surprised he answered (it was 8.05).

‘I am so sorry Kobalt, I overslept!’, I said.

in an out-of-breath and clearly running voice he replied:

‘Dad, I am headed for the car. I totally know how you feel - I overslept too!’

Like father like son,

I love that kid.

so true - watched an interview with David Gahn this afternoon where he said even after 25 years of performing on stage - he still got anxious. That’s the feeling of living. That’s the feeling i strive for every day. Move Forward.

I actually shot a ton of pictures of one of these parked on the curb of Crosby st. I worked hard to get every angle, probably 30 pictures until I got the ‘right one’. When I was done, I went to peer into the drivers side window to catch a glimpse of the instrument panel. Just as I got close enough so that the glare from the sun was not hindering my view inside - I realized the driver was staring back at me, just smiling.

I was, needless to say, embarrassed however he was quite flattered and talked with me a minute about the finer points of the auto. We shook hands and went on about our respective days, one enthusiast with images of what he was working for, another with the pride of what he had accomplished.

“Acquaintance name,
I’m trying to populate the website. Would it be possible for me to speak with the developer so that he can walk me through how I would add html’s to the webpages. I’m having problems. I open the ftp page and cannot migrate files onto it. Nor do I have any idea how to figure out which page they are going to.”

i miss the fucking tigers.

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:37:46 -0500

I never had a tiger in my life, but I know I miss having them there. I am sure of it. Why? Because Tigers made tomorrow the best god given day of your life - you just hoped you got to see it. The stagnation and boring routine of modern life is dragging us into lethargy - *we* (you and I) are the zombie apocolypse, the walking dead. Our routines are filled with drudgery, only spiced by the occasional new item or chance momentary interaction. Throw an effin tiger in the mix - and what could be put off till tomorrow is the bar none most important thing to do right now. Kiss them, call them, go see it, feel it, grab as much of it as you can and never let go; the excel spreadsheet can wait. This shit, the shit the tiger put into perspective, is the important shit. So go get a tiger, and let me know when you do - cause I want one in my life too.

RIght now though, I have to finish this presentation.
