Dunes with bbbrad

That creep ‘stache lasted exactly 18 hours.

"I think the more you know, the more you realize just how much you don’t know. So..."

“

I think the more you know, the more you realize just how much you don’t know. So paradoxically, the deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more you might tend to fixate on the growing collection of unlearned peripheral concepts that you become conscious of along the way.

That can manifest itself as feelings of fraudulence when people are calling you a “guru” or “expert” while you’re internally overwhelmed by the ever-expanding volumes of things you’re learning that you don’t know.

However, I think it’s important to tamp those insecurities down and continue on with confidence enough to continue learning. After all, you’ve got the advantage of having this long list of things you know you don’t know, whereas most people haven’t even taken the time to uncover that treasure map yet. What’s more, no one else has it all figured out either. We’re all just fumbling around in the adjacent possible, grasping at whatever good ideas and understanding we can manage to wrap our heads around.

Plus Fours Routefinder - Worlds First Navigation System

Invented in 1920′s this could be world’s first navigation system. No satellites or digital screens were used in the making of this portable navigation system. Called Plus Fours Routefinder, this little invention was designed to be worn on your wrist, and the “maps” were printed on little wooden rollers which you would turn manually as you drove along.

“You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.”

In 1997’s 2 into 1, Gillian Wearing asks a mother and her children to talk about each other. She then juxtaposes the interviews, with the mother lip-synching to the children’s words and vice-versa.

It is, among other things, disconcerting.

nickgerber:

I’m moving. I’m excited and anxious and a little sad. Unfortunately, I’m leaving behind my kick ass loft apartment. I’d love to keep it in the family, though, so if you’re looking to move into a loft apartment in the West Loop of Chicago hit me up - $1,900/month - big open space, northwest facing unit, modern built in shelving, Jacuzzi soaking tub, working fireplace, newer appliances, conveniently off highway 290 and 90/94 and the UIC Blue Line stop. The location is the real seller on this place because it’s so close to transportation, the highway, and Randolph “restaurant row”.

Shoot me an email and I’ll connect you with the Randolph

If you need a snazzy new place (in the West Loop) with high ceilings and ridiculous views, get on this!

“Everyone jokes about how supposedly soulless PR and marketing people are, but dealing with the masses is difficult, time-consuming, and an actual skill. To survive emotionally in a high-profile situation, you need a layer of protection between yourself and the raw feedback of humanity.”

I went to the Facebook mothership this week. Posed like a tourist, took some pictures.

I also noticed that although Facebook’s campus was beautiful, they forgot to finish both sides of their sign.
