Be Present Now

Sometimes witty, sometimes childish. Add gesticulation, shake.

Every once in a while I have wonderful conversations about life, technology and everything. Many times I end up talking about a myriad of topics.

For example today I had lunch with Jonathan Greenwood (you should follow him on twitter here) and learned a great deal about many interesting things. I am always intrigued and delighted to rediscover that not everyone has my same brain, interests, browsing habits. Not everyone keeps track closely of the same spaces and same people I do.

So here is a random mesh of interesting links that I recurrently mention in my conversations, the common thread being - well it’s quite a broad one I’ll admit - entrepreneurship, social media, cool people and products, online videos, friends. You might have seen some of these already, but then again, maybe not.
