While much of the world has come to a halt – life as we know it is fundamentally different. Yet, living in the bubble of the bay, there’s an odd sense of panaic/fear/uneasiness mixed with a level of comfort still. While this situation is “once in a lifetime” and is a truly scary and deadly…

It’s been a while…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Not much else to say except raising a kid, two dogs and continuing to grow my relationship with my wife has consumed most of my waking moments. I felt that I should put my writing hat back on for a few minutes so here we go… Figuring it…
2018… What a Year!
Time seems to accelerate with a child… They say “days are long but the years are short”… and it’s pretty much spot on. I haven’t been contributing to my blog as much as I’d like, but I cannot miss the 2018 review post for my personal sanity and as a nice recap of the things…
5 Days in London
2 months ago, I spent several days in London for work. I’m super thankful for having the opportunity to visit the London office as well as have a little time here and there to explore parts of central London. The last time I traveled to London was in 2005, right after I graduated from college…
Closing out 2016
2016 has been an amazing, yet tough year. We witnessed a crazy election, many changes around the world, many many losses and much more. It’s easy to focus on all of the tough times, but there is still plenty to be grateful for… and with that, here are some highlights from 2016 with just a…
Work Life Balance
I heard a very interesting approach to work life balance a few days ago from a Google executive. It resonates deeply with me and my approach to work and life… But then at the end he completely flipped 360 and said he was changing his approach to work life balance. It got me thinking and I…
Commuting to Work
One of the best things about living in California is the weather… and how it allows us to be outdoor pretty much most weeks of the year. A great thing about living on the peninsula is the bike-friendliness of the area. Commuting has been a great way to incorporate exercise while only taking just…
Six Months at Google
From small company to the mothership… it’s been a long journey in a short period of time. Never did I expect to take the plunge into the largest tech giant in the world. I’ve decided to just jot down a few notes as I reflect back on my time. First, as I have said to…
2014 in Review
With all of these different year in review things popping up (FB, G+, Timehop, etc…), it made me think about my year. And with some down time for the Holidays, I decided to a little recap of my year based on themes that I’ve written about. 2013 was a huge year between Bleu turning…
Thoughts From Inside a Start-Up
The chart above is really a testament and main driver for why I work at a start-up. In my case, I’ve been at start-ups that weren’t the 2-3 people in garages, but ones that have started to take shape and are growing. People choose to go to a start-up vs a large company for…
Random Friday
It’s a bit early for Throwback Thursday #tbt, so I decided to do a random Wednesday to throw down a few thoughts that have been running through my head this week. It’s been a busy, fun, stressful and exciting year so far. We’ll start with the exciting… An addition to the family. While the name…
Facing Changes in the Workplace
There are a number of things that I’ve learned in school, AKPsi (business fraternity), and even in my first couple of years working. Things are always in flux, on the move (hopefully up and to the right) and we have to adapt or perish. On a day to day basis, we deal with competitors,…
