On Love and Wealth

"The search for love and the search for wealth are always the two best stories. But while a love story is timeless, the story of a quest for wealth, given enough time, will always seem like the vain pursuit of a mirage"

Finding Common Ground

It's no small feat to attempt to understand something rather than get infuriated by it. But, indeed I as often as possible try to start from the humanist perspective that nobody wakes up in the morning and decides to be a douche bag. That's my starting point.

Jerry Yang (July 2008)

“I’ll admit that I haven’t been following this particular story that closely. Since getting laid off from AOL, my interest in this genre of news only stretches as far as what new horror has befallen my former employer. But I do read through the tales of the Yahoo debacle, and it struck me this morning that Jerry Yang is kind of like the Amy Winehouse of the corporate world. Entertaining for a while, but now just a bit… sad.”
