This is a fantastic infographic explaining how bad carbs can be for you. I’ve tried to explain this to many people in person, but a flowchart makes it so much easier. Thanks to Massive Health for designing it.

I wish someone had told me this when I was 18 years old. 

Rafer sez:Go sutha, go.

"Carolyn Reidy, president and chief executive of Simon & Schuster, says the biggest challenge is to give people a reason to step into Barnes & Noble stores in the first place. “They have figured out how to use the store to sell e-books,” she said of the company. “Now, hopefully, we can figure out how to make that go full circle and see how the e-books can sell the print books."

From TurningArt to StayingArt, or How I Bought My First Original Piece of Art.
I’m a huge fan of TurningArt, which is often described as “Netflix for Art”. It’s allowed me to sample all sorts of different art without ever committing to it. (And for a material-phobic minimalist, it’s a slam dunk; own without owning!)
Lately, I’ve been sporting a print-likeness of Christian Bale / Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, one of my favorite movies (don’t read *too* much into it…)
Over a bottle of wine at the Boundless office, good friend Matt Hodgson (CTO TurningArt) was explaining the broader vision: connecting art-novices with great pieces of art. For the tepid, that starts as prints, and for those that find a piece that speaks to them: an original.
Maybe it was the wine, or maybe it was Matt’s great story telling, but I took the leap and upgraded from print to the original “Psycho American” by Hector Sandoval Jr.
And while I’m plugging his service, what made it an easy decision is how TurningArt credits your cumulative monthly subscription costs against original artwork you buy. How cool is that? 
Now I need to find a new wall to continue my art rotation, until another piece “sticky” enough comes along!

Billion Dollar Startup Idea

Probably not the first to have this idea, but, “what if….”

What if there was an Apache mod that let all web-devs target WebKit with HTML/CSS and on the fly translated the CSS to support whatever quirks the requesting browser/User-Agent might have.

I’d pay handsomely to target 1 desktop browser, 1 mobile browser, etc. Let some crazy auto-updating plugin handle the rest, and I’d pay a ridiculous monthly amount for it.

If you build this, please email me!

A Singulatarian Holiday

My brother & I decided to give exclusively “singulatarian” gifts this holiday. What’s that mean? Digital goods & services. What else could future meta-humans want/use?

A sampling:

  • Soundcloud Subscription
  • Minecraft key-code
  • Kindle eBook gifts
  • iTunes gift card

Not digital, but closer to meta-human:

  • TurningArt subscription
  • Foodzie subscription
  • etc

It’s all about giving stuff without people actually needing to have… stuff.

Happy minimalist/singulatarian holidays!
