Of Matchmaking and Meddling

I meet a lot of people who are, or have a hankering to be, entrepreneurs. I don’t, at all. Is that weird? I do, though, have a hankering to make stuff. And something that I’ve come back to multiple times is dating facilitation. I love matchmaking. I’m terrible at it, but I can’t seem to…

This was all people had by way of information. The printing press caused a revolution. 100 years later, humans had more information than they…

The Trade-off Between Useful and Interesting

I don’t think I’m cut out for graduate school. I say this as someone who just spent half an hour hiding in the bathroom in tears, so take what follows with a pinch of salt. I’m not giving up quite yet. Today, my supervisor told me my work made no contribution. I admit, that I…
