intuition
September 13th, 2005 at 3:23 pm 0 comments.Caterina Fake, cofounder of flickr explains why intuition is more important that basing decisions on data…
“I make my decisions almost entirely based on intuition. Data, as I see it, can be molded to fit any agenda, and is based only on the past. Most decisions will impact only the future. Data is a good slave, but a poor master.”

i’m in alaska
June 12th, 2005 at 9:14 pm 0 comments.i am curently in alaska, outside fairbanks in particular, staying with my friends dharmesh and cassie. we got big plans to visit denali and the brooks range, above the arctic circle. firstly the midnight sun thing is strangly eerie, it throws off my ny/nj ability to tell time by lookiung at the sun or a shadow or saying “its been ohh about so long since it got dark so it must be 10:00 PM” here in alaska, now, there is no “night” per se, but a long daytime and a dawn/dusk. i’ve slept weird the last two “nights”, not in the bad movie insomnia kind of way but not nearly like a baby. too many airplane vodka drinks on the way (i arrived, ahem, tipsy)or some time-zone circadian rythem issues. visit my flickr for some action shots.
