Life's Ups and Ups

Right now, I'm in one of those crazy work modes where I'm just inspired. Last night, I worked until 6:00am, woke up four hours later, and here I am now - eyes wide open, heart pounding. Either everything is coming together or I'm just really happy with the way things are or both. In various news:

1. Last week we met with the managing director of the venture capital firm that Sheena works for. He gave some really great advice about how we could incorporate technology into our publishing model. The meeting concluded with him asking if we could do it again in a month.
   
2. Two weeks ago we met with a Brown University professor who was a successful entrepreneur in a former life. Also, he teaches a course that helps students create a framework for their lives through the lens of entrpereneuershp. It was really great to see that a course like this exists! Right now, we're communicating via email about potential ways we could collaborate.
   
3. Sheena and I are doing an independent study with John Sexton, the president of NYU, which started last week. It promises to be extremely exciting and will be on the topic of community development.
   
4. I'm doing an global entrepreneurship independent study with Professor Wiesen, who is a Stern Professor and as well a cofounder of Tofutti and the Financial News Network (sold to CNBC).
   
5. I'm back into playing tennis. I'm playing about once a week and hoping to move that up to three or four times.
   
6. Besides that I've just been enjoying another summer in the city.
