2017 was an intense year in many dimensions. To do this, I withdrew on several dimensions, especially via social media and online channels, which diminished my experience, but allowed me time and space to think.

Late in 2016 and early in 2017 I had several nights where I drank alcohol, but I think all but one was a special event. I made some mistakes in terms of thinking about what my 2% was, such as wading into Boulder politics around the November 2017 city council election.

It’s almost entirely tech related, as I stay away from mainstream media during the week (e.g. I expect in 2016 we’ll do about ten new investments, in 2017 we’ll do about ten new investments, in 2018 we’ll do about ten new investments – you get the picture.

Some concerns in the media include: Legislation. I’m not sure where that rule comes from, but by that measure, we should see the first self driving cars on sale in 2017. Computational processing is likely another large component of the overall price, and it has a long history of exponential cost reduction.
