I moved offices for about the 5th time in the last 20 years. Each time, less and less ‘stuff’ comes along. I am so grateful for ‘the cloud’. I now work in a shared office space in San Diego called Deskhub (I am a personal investor). There is a lot of wall space. I finally …

I spent the last two weeks back and forth across the country a few times. At the moment I have one of those nasty head colds that crushes your spirit and makes you feel like you will be sore forever. I was cramming in a Schwab event, meetings with Stocktwits customers, a new product launch, …
