Welcome

Early stage investments in creative and well executed ventures.

My morning news consumption…

Like most people, I have my morning information digestion routine. I’ll browse some stuff to see if I get any ideas to put on my personal blog. I’ll fire up my customized Netvibes home page which I’ve gone to great lengths to populate with all my favorite sites over the last few years. I’ll check the stock market and my email. But the one place where I’ll often find some of the most interesting web pages is actually the “popular” list on the del.icio.us bookmark service. Since the service launched, I’ve stopped bookmarking websites directly in

my browser simply because I’ve found it more convenient to have everything accessible on the web, regardless which computer I’m logging into. But the popular list on del.icio.us is like an uncanny treasure trove of digital tidbits that is something like finding a neighborhood garage sale with under priced collectibles, tools and record collections that your friends would otherwise die for. You never know what you’ll find there but you’ll always find something interesting. You don’t go there looking for anything in particular. But you’ll always find something peculiar. Take today for instance. 100 ways to organize your life. Who doesn’t love lists? Especially when someone else makes them…
