Although I did spend most of the day running around I managed to fit in some work and another great TED video (on the intelligence of crows). This evening I’ve been enjoying some of Fred Wilson’s posts. Fred has been giving some great insight into venture funds, their management, and the general economics behind them. You can find them here and here.

Time to outline some proposal drafts and then get some sleep.

Sidenote it looks like Facebook is letting employees cash out (a little).

Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 New York subway map (here) was hailed as an instant graphic design classic. He recently updated it. On Men’s Vogue. Check this out for a closer look.

The following is from Amy Wallace,

“The beginning of my third season with the Richard Sachs team is approaching fast. Training is officially underway, bike tune-ups are officially not yet underway, and all the spongeworthy race dates are marked out on every weekend of my calendar from now through mid-December. With the transplant of Alie to Boulder and Pookums to New York, the only thing I’m not looking forward to this season is a lack of Boston-based travel buddies!

It’s quite safe to say that bike racing has been a big part of my life for the last eight years. Fittingly, I spend a fair amount of time thinking about the role bike racing plays in my life… how much time and energy am I willing and/or able to devote to training? What do non-bike racers do with all their free time, and what would I do with it? Does bike racing still make me happy? I won’t keep you in suspense – the answer there is yes. The relationship I have with cyclocross can be challenging, rewarding, difficult, and wonderful all at the same time, and (new train of thought here) often makes me think of the movie Fever Pitch – I apologize for the obscurity of this reference, but a particular scene in the movie seems particularly relevant to the way I think of my relationship with cyclocross. In the movie, Jimmy Fallon is a big Red Sox fan, and a kid says to him at a critical juncture, “you’ve always loved the Sox… but have the Sox ever loved you back?” it’s a good question, and one I seem to ask myself a lot with regards to ‘cross… does it love me back? I think that anything I give so much energy to rightly should love me back to some degree. Here I am still writing, so at this point you know that I’ve decided it does! I’ve found a unique sort of fulfillment in cyclocross that I haven’t found with any other hobby.

From the love of competing and playing outdoors to the adrenaline and energy to the cheering fans at a race to the fact that you’re reading this text now… cyclocross does love me back. Most importantly, I’ve got this pretty awesome thing called the Richard Sachs family to share it all with. I think it’s a special gift we’ve been given to have found ourselves brought together by this team, and I’m really looking forward to the upcoming season.”

Me: I stole someones cart at Target the other day
Friend: omg
Me: I had my headphones in and wasn't paying attention, I stopped to walk and get something, then must have turned around and walked off with their cart
Friend: lol
Me: the best part is that 1.) i didn't notice till I was on the other side of the store and 2.) the fact that I had my headphones in so even if they were yelling at me I had no idea
Me: I promptly just left the store
Friend: awkwarddd
