On business, technology, health and life on the road. Writing helps me understand things better. Maybe you’ll find something useful here, too.

Business
When I arrive in a new city, I mark places I have visited, places I want to go, and where friends live. Those simple pins help me see the city’s shape and discover what is nearby.
Travel

Life

Business

Technology
I digitized my stack of business cards, reconnected with people on LinkedIn, and then recycled the paper. Here is why I find a searchable contact list more useful.
