The Search for Meaningful Work →
Agree with the premise of the article but do think that if you look at a venn diagram of people who are motivated by doing meaningful work with those who are motivated to change the world, the overlap is where the real game-changers (Gates, Jobs, Page/Brin, Zuck, Musk) are. More people need to pursue these ideas with that type of ferocious passion and we’ll truly see a better world.

John's Tumblr: Next mobile battleground:... →
lilly: I talk a lot about one filter for mobile applications is whether they really merit inclusion as one of the 20ish home screen icons for lots of users.

Hacked Pokemon version on the App Store →
Thought this was too funny. Guess the App Store isn’t that rigorous in it’s app-checking process.  But this does get to me thinking, why hasn’t Nintendo made their own version? Too many companies that aren’t getting with the times…

I’m a lifelong sports fanatic, science nerd turned techie, and co-founder at Lace Up.  I haven’t given much thought to what I’ll be posting but figure most will be related to the content I consume most: sports, tech and science. I’m often opinionated but encourage constructive banter; however, if I...
