Travel, music, hockey and a little bit of duck tolling.
This is the only book I've read this year that I've read before. I started a new job last month and thought it would be a good refresher for me. As I started reading it, I quickly realized how much of this process had been implemented into my own style. My past employer implemented this …

Crossing The Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers or simply Crossing the Chasm. This book was recommended to me by someone I interviewed with. I was looking for insight into the market and what they were trying to do. She said it was an old one but a good one. I agree. Geoffrey A. Moore …
NHL seasons are long and unpredictable. Every year there are players that come out of nowhere and stars who fall from grace. Here are a few fun predictions for the upcoming season. Sane Max Pacioretty scores 30 goals. He does it ever year and gets criticized for not doing enough. He will do it again. …
I stepped away from my typical book choice and went a little off the board with The Alchemist. It was one of the most recommended books from Tim Ferris's Tools of Titans, so I was intrigued. It's a simple easy read which I liked. I flew through it in a few days. It was nice …

As I've mentioned in my previous posts, I've become extremely interested in data analytics and data visualization. When I'm interested in something, I like to learn as much as I can about it. This book may have ruined me. I'll never be able to look at a graph the same way again! The author does …
There is no question Peter Thiel is an interesting guy. Zero to one is basically his thoughts on startups and business. While it is organized by chapters, they don't necessarily flow like a normal book would. It's super short and can be read in a few days. I thought it was extremely interesting and well worth …
I've always loved numbers and data. As a kid, I had my own stat tracking book for my sports nintendo games because I was obsessed with analyzing the results. I literally tracked hundreds of games worth of data for fun. I think that's why I've recently become extremely interested in data analytics. This book was …
I have this really long wall on the main floor of my house that never seemed to look right. We recently painted the room white so it was even more bare looking. We wanted a bookcase of something to break up the wall and add some colour to the space. I found a plan online …
