Of the 543,000 new small businesses started each month, approximately 52 percent of them are home-based. It’s no surprise really when you consider the primary reason for starting a business from home has to do with money (or lack thereof).

Vanity Fair recently published a expose on Theranos. It is worth reading. Like a mini “page turner” novel. It reminded me of one of my personal themes in investing: “if you don’t understand the technology then don’t invest.” The understanding can definitely be acquired.

I just read an old post by Nir Eyal about The psychology of sports: How sports affect your brain. Nir makes the point that our obsession with sports is weird. Writing at the time of the 2012 London Olympics he said: “This week, fans packed stadiums in London wearing their nation’s colors like rebels ready for battle in Mel Gibson’s army. They screamed with excitement and anguished in defeat.

Web design has come a long way since the days of Angelfire chaos. We’ve learned a lot about what appeals to those surfing the web, and how they use their sites once they get there. Those lessons gave rise to a moniker that’s all too familiar these days: UX. In truth, the user experience designer has always been around. It’s just that before we woke up to the fact that our design should revolve around the user, they were web designers.

Are we who issue orders to associates or employees ever acting as jerks? We’d never like to think so, or we wouldn’t do it in the first place. If someone is saying “This is confusing to me” when you’ve given an instruction or order, there are a number of ways to respond.

I recently picked up a camera as some of you may have seen from my social network posts. I have some thoughts about this which I wanted to share. I picked up this camera for most likely some uncommon reasons. I am not a good photographer. I love taking pics but I am far from good. I had a Fuji x100 which I loved initially but used very little towards the tail-end of its time with me.
