Rough week of work and I’m now on vacation in Belize (woo hoo!), so it’s a short list this week. Enjoy and I’ll see you post-trip.
Fun and Interesting
- The Soda Industry Struggles as Consumer Taste Changes (NYT)
- Why have Digital Books Stopped Evolving? (Aeon)
- This article really resonated with me. Amazon could be doing so many more interesting things.
-
- Quote: “Kindle’s interface makes it difficult to keep tabs on those expanding digital libraries: at best, we can see a dozen titles at a time, all as inscrutably small book covers. Titles that fall off the first-page listing on a Kindle cease to exist. Kindles could remind us of past purchases – books either bought but left unread, or books we read passionately and should reread.
- This is Twitters moment (Stratechery)
Finance
- I recently invested in over 150 Startups – here’s what I learned (Medium)
- New Worry for Home Buyers – A Party House from Airbnb (NYT)
- Why Saving Money in Your 20’s is a Good Idea (Making Sense of Cents)
- Save dat money! (Rockstar Finance)
Books
I finally finished (yay) Thinking Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Great read.
Gary V – Don’t Call Me Lucky and Overnight Successes
