“Which do you do first in a startup? A marketing plan or…” “Just, shut up.”

March 31, 2015 By Finn Leave a Comment

We’re somewhere around version 4 or 5 of the brand colors for BiziPorts. We’re about to finish up version 4 of the website – or 5, if we count the bright yellow one that apparently only my eyes could actually handle without going blind. Man, that was back when I could barely bold text in […]

Clean home, clear thoughts: how to trigger claustrophobia with a dish

March 1, 2015 By Finn Leave a Comment

We ran 6 rounds of dishes through the dishwasher the last two weekends, again. All our silverware, bowls, and every coffee cup that fits in our Keurig were among the casualties. There are two of us in our home. Four, with the puppies, but they’re better at washing their coffee mugs than am I. Given […]

30 Days on MyFitnessPal. Why I went back after two years away – and the results so far.

myfitnesspal logo. owners: myfitnesspal.com

I first started using MyFitnessPal back in fall of 2012. It was cool, to a point. In the end it became too much work to continue add every food in I found because their database didn’t have it. Especially if you wanted to track more nutritional stats than just calories. I also wanted to get […]

Why I want to curb content consumption [media addiction]

December 28, 2014 By Finn 2 Comments

Steve Dalton asked what I meant by the last post, “Curbing Content Consumption.” Looking back on the post, I can see what he meant by that. I stuffed the post’s intention in cute little tag lines but never really expounded as to why we wanted to curb our content consumption. I knew why. Those in […]

Curbing Content Consumption

December 28, 2014 By Finn Leave a Comment

While we talked with Cassidy, the lady in the window seat, we got to chatting about the sacrifices she made to further her career. She’s worked since she was 15. The job takes her where the story is, even if it’s after 5pm on a Friday and halfway around the globe from her family during […]

The zen behind the Christmas all-night ride up to the Oregon Coast

December 26, 2014 By Finn Leave a Comment

It’s Christmas night. Katie and I are somewhere over The Rockies on a Southwest flight from Chicago to Oakland, heading home. The flight should land around 9:40pm, PDT. With Baggage claim and Jay picking us up, we should be home before 11pm. After five nights of little sleep and hanging with friends & family during […]

The Camptown Winterbound Confessional

October 31, 2014 By Finn Leave a Comment

We had a conversation tonight at the hot tub with a (multi-directional pun alert) pretty cool atmospheric scientist from North Carolina. We told him how we felt that our productivity went up by leaps and bounds when we left the -19 degree winter mornings of Northwest Indiana for the 62 degree afternoons of East Bay. […]

Simplification presents possibility [review of Tao Te Ching Chapter 19 “Simplify”]

December 29, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been reading up to 25% of Tao Te Ching a day, either in the bedroom or the bathroom. No disclosure neglected here. The feat sounds impressive unless you’ve actually read Tao Te Ching and realize it’s less like reading the Holy Bible and more like reading the 4 Gospels – except for the […]

Rebirth of “Cool”

December 28, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

Duke Ellington & his piano. Sometimes accompanied by Rosemary Clooney. A couple season-1 reboot episodes of Doctor Who – with Eccelston in his leather-jacket finest. Wine drunk from Mason Jars. Dinner from Portillos. Two Havanese puppies redefining, “adorable,” – apparently it’s in their DNA. And my Katie, curled up on the couch, delighting herself between […]

Letting Go & Trusting Others

October 17, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

Letting Go &Trusting Others. The hard part about starting this post is picking which of the many examples to choose from. I think I’ll start with first experiences… I grew up as a jock in Chicago during the era of Michael Jordan. My freshmen high school coach, Dale Gott, always pointed out the nuances that […]
