How To Do What You Love
In honor and recognition of YC earlier this week, some wisdom from founder Paul Graham that has nothing and everything to do with this year’s graduating class of start-ups -
“To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We’ve got it down to four words: “Do what you love.” But it’s not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you...
running lessons
I signed up for a half marathon last Saturday and ran it with Gracey yesterday. It was the longest distance I’ve run and, until around mile 10 or 11, at the fastest sustained pace I’ve run.
A few running and life lessons I thought of along the way:
Can’t stop running until you’re done

WatchOne of the best musicians you’re probably still not listening to - Frank Ocean, GQ’s Rookie of the Year. Disclaimer: he doesn’t say anything very interesting (the questions asked are incredibly boring) but how great is the suit?
And when you’re done with that, watch Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon’s video. Characteristically inappropriate but so cute.

seated at the table
Tonight I had dinner with my parents at a restaurant I don’t remember the name of or maybe never knew and can’t find online (it’s right above the A/C/E Canal stop). Toward the end of our meal what I assume was the restaurant manager came around to each table to ask how the meal was and if we enjoyed ourselves. I thought it was a rare, nice, and classy touch, and for that brief...
