After my last blog post, it should come as no surprise that I’m about to share an idea that’s bouncing around in my head. It’s happened before on this blog as I’ve pontificated a gambling website to bet on anything and a twitter-based fantasy sports game (for which we actually built a prototype). One of [...]
If you have a good idea, share it. Connect with every smart person that you know and bounce it off of them. You will learn pretty quickly if your opportunity has real merit. You might even get some help, advice and inspiration from others. Nothing gets me more than having someone tell me that his [...]
I know as much, or as little, of what ails Lebron James as you do. A bunch of talented sportswriters went all Fraud and dissected the dethronement of the King. The Sports Section blog summarizes the media reaction. The Sports Guy also brilliantly lays it down in his Game 6 retro diary (better reading than [...]
I’ve read a bunch of books this year. Some good, some hood. I’ll share a few recommendations below if you email me some good reads. I have a few weeks of travel ahead of me (both for work and vacation) and plan on leveraging the written word to get me through it. I just finished [...]
I closely follow the current events in Israel. A lot happened last week. I wasn’t sure what to make of these new developments. More concerning to me, I wasn’t sure where to turn to help make sense of it all. So I tried something a bit different. I blocked out all the bloviaters, bloggers and [...]
As I wrote about in a previous blog post, I’m paying close attention to this new wave of digital companies that are going public. The most recent IPO was for LinkedIn and it was huge. It’s not hard to find the news coverage but here’s the quick recap. LinkedIn, a business/networking social network, priced it’s [...]
I held on to my Blackberry phone for way too long. If you have an app phone you already know this. It came to the point where I was embarrassed if someone in the digital know spotted me with it. I felt like a suit. The actual BB phone is a decent device. They do [...]
Recently I’ve begun to use a cool new website called Ohours.org to both host and attend office hours sessions. Similar to how you might remember it in college, office hours are scheduled blocks of time where people can sign up to have a face to face meeting and talk shop about whatever is of interest. [...]
Last week I turned 30. When I’m asked how it feels, I reply that thanks to all the celebratory ice cream cake, nutella S’mores, banana boats and black label my overwhelming sensation is that of chest burning acid indigestion! But we all know that making a lame heartburn joke is a cop out for an [...]
This summer Family Litvack is taking a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We’re traveling to Israel for a week in mid-June. I’m excited. I haven’t been to Israel since 2006 and we’ve never been there together as a family. Since I first went to Israel on my Birthright trip I’ve sought to develop a more [...]
