New Chapter: A Real-Person Job at Zendesk
Today is my last day as a self-employed freelancer. Wow, that feels weird to type. For the past three years, I’ve camped out in various forms of a home office, coffee shops and leached off friends’ spaces whilst living out the “worry-free” life of the self employed. However, I recently received an offer that was too good to pass up. Starting Monday, I’ll be the...

Chasing the Sun
I took my new bike out to Ocean Beach on its virgin ride to catch the sunset. Calm, 80-degree weather doesn’t happen often in San Francisco, so you must take advantage. Yes, shorts in San Francisco! (I tried one looking at the camera, but it was awkward.) Free and easy… Golden Gate Park Beer break at Beach Chalet Details… (Not mine) Proof that I made it ...

TechCrunch and Feeding Babies
Paul Carr with a brilliant line in his resignation letter regarding Erick Schonfeld, TechCrunch’s new editor: Hating him for being expertly played by Arianna Huffington is like hating a baby for crying on a long-haul flight. He doesn’t understand why people are mad at him, he just wants to be fed. Burnnnnnn

What did it feel like to be inside the World Trade...
I arrived for work that morning on the 77th. floor of World Trade Center tower 2 (WTC2) around 8:00AM. It was a bright beautiful morning, and you could see seemingly forever out the floor to ceiling windows of the building. My company had offices on the 77th. and 78th. floors. My office was on 77 facing WTC1 (the north tower). I was standing in the hallway outside my office talking to a co-worker,...

The Wonder Year This movie blends two of my favorite things: 9th Wonder’s music and documentaries. I hope it comes to San Francisco soon. A year in the life of CEO, NAACP ambassador, Duke University professor, husband, father, son and Grammy Award winning producer 9th Wonder. The film follows one of soul music’s most dynamic figures from his childhood home to late nights in the studio and...
