My college roommate, in a uncharacteristic burst of blogging, linked to my most recent post on comic recommendations and added a few of his own (four of which I almost added to my list but did not as I didn’t want to overwhelm! ) as well as some good tips in terms of how a [...]
As I’ve made secret of my love for comic books, a friend of mine who has been enjoying the latest string of comic book movies asked if I had any recommendations for comics/trade paperbacks that a “comic newbie” (i.e. someone who doesn’t know the billion years of backstory that have accumulated over time in the [...]
I’ve written before about my love for the Economist. One of the reasons I stated before were their irreverent titles/illustrations/covers. As a social media aficionado, I had to share this amazing cover. This will hopefully tickle you as much as it did me [apologies for the poor resolution, this is the best quality cover I [...]
On the advice of one of the members of the little investment club I am a part of, I picked up David Moss’s book A Concise Guide to Macroeconomics. I wasn’t expecting much, having taken a few introductory economics courses in college and being a casual economics aficionado, but I gave it a shot. And, [...]
Almost one year ago, I posed a few wishes for Smallville’s 10th and final season. So, how did this season do?

This particular crisis hits very close to home not only because my employer has a significant presence in Japan, but because of [...]
Having been in venture capital for only a measly six months, it may be a stretch to say I know how to pitch a VC properly. However, I have seen enough email pitches to tell you how not to pitch a VC. Pay attention, aspiring entrepreneurs, because these happen a lot more often than you’d [...]
I did it last year, the year before that, and the year before that. So, here’s another post dedicated to the past year of my life: Publically made a list of New Year’s resolutions and even did a mid-year check-in. So, how did I finally do? Finish rev 1 of Benchside: incomplete, this resolution I [...]
It’s been almost a month since I last posted, but now that my internet connectivity issue has been sorted out, I wanted to wish everyone happy holidays! And hopefully, I’ll get around to posting more substantial updates in the days to come…
Happy Belated Thanksgiving. I apologize for the lack of posting this week, but: Work has really picked up over the last week or so as our fund pushes into an end-of-year annual meeting I just moved in to a new place (which has no internet yet ) Will be back once all of this is [...]
