WATCH VIDEO :o

During this past summer we received the great opportunity of traveling outside of the country, in particular to Africa. Our trip to Luanda, Angola was an inspiration filled trip in every sense of the term. The one word that comes to mind and sticks out is “Energy”, from the people to the Kuduro music what we experienced was the vibrancy of Angolan culture at its finest.

Thank you guys for supporting us once again and our Travel Etiquette series which we are very passionate about because it’s more about the notion of collecting moments in life, rather than physical possessions. Get those worn in chucks out, a small duffle bag, (oh yeah) your passport, go see the world, and here’s a bit why Luanda, Angola should be a first stop.

The video above is a teaser/preview of our time in Luanda, you can expect a number of video episodes from our experience in Angola accompanied with beautiful imagery VERY soon to be launched on our website.

“The great missing debate in contemporary politics is about the role and reach of markets. Do we want a market economy, or a market society? What role should markets play in public life and personal relations? How can we decide which goods should be bought and sold, and which should be governed by nonmarket values? Where should money’s writ not run?”

Paul Graham's advice on tackling Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:56:33 -0400

Paul Graham's advice on tackling Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas:

youmightfindyourself:

Let me conclude with some tactical advice. If you want to take on a problem as big as the ones I’ve discussed, don’t make a direct frontal attack on it. Don’t say, for example, that you’re going to replace email. If you do that you raise too many expectations. Your employees and investors will constantly be asking “are we there yet?” and you’ll have an army of haters waiting to see you fail. Just say you’re building todo-list software. That sounds harmless. People can notice you’ve replaced email when it’s a fait accompli.

Empirically, the way to do really big things seems to be to start with deceptively small things. Want to dominate microcomputer software? Start by writing a Basic interpreter for a machine with a few thousand users. Want to make the universal web site? Start by building a site for Harvard undergrads to stalk one another.

Empirically, it’s not just for other people that you need to start small. You need to for your own sake. Neither Bill Gates nor Mark Zuckerberg knew at first how big their companies were going to get. All they knew was that they were onto something. Maybe it’s a bad idea to have really big ambitions initially, because the bigger your ambition, the longer it’s going to take, and the further you project into the future, the more likely you’ll get it wrong.

I think the way to use these big ideas is not to try to identify a precise point in the future and then ask yourself how to get from here to there, like the popular image of a visionary. You’ll be better off if you operate like Columbus and just head in a general westerly direction. Don’t try to construct the future like a building, because your current blueprint is almost certainly mistaken. Start with something you know works, and when you expand, expand westward.

The popular image of the visionary is someone with a clear view of the future, but empirically it may be better to have a blurry one.

andrewromano:

There is also Oysters Rocafella: a freshly shucked oyster presented on a bed of crushed ice interspersed with pieces of a smashed “Ace of Spades” Champagne bottle—”Ace of Spades” being the colloquial name for Armand de Brignac, Jay-Z’s favorite brand of Champagne—then topped with Champagne foam and served with frozen Champagne grapes. Just FYI.

Love.
