I don't know what I'm doing

Personal Musings go here.

Music, education, pop culture, hipster stuff, beautiful design, basketball, and occasionally original writing, both creative and analytical. On rare occasions my followers are subjected to my ineffectual philosophical ponderings.

Boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there.

Elon Musk in this great TED Talk (though he does seem rather uncomfortable during the talk, the content is fantastic).

I’ve found this philosophy is one of the best ways to be ‘sure’ of the ideas you are working through. Very insightful.

Hilarious. “The Kobe that we used to know” - Gotye parody

The Hipster Hunt

This Columbia Journalism student set out to find what it means to be a hipster by going through and interviewing people in Williamsburg, NY. Pretty funny responses.

Local Natives - Sun Hands

Perfect rainy weather music.

Cake - Love You Madly.

This was one of my favorite songs in high school. It’s so good still. Cake still hasn’t lost it’s luster.

Time for a classic.

Ice Cube - Today Was a Good Day

Dance Me to the End of Love - Madeleine Peyroux

DERRICK ROSE - AAU HIGHLIGHTS

You will watch this entire video because, and I promise, you will enjoy it.  Towards the end, there’s a pass that’s so serious, I couldn’t believe it was the second to last highlight.  Thought you had to finish the video with that clip.  Then I saw the last clip.

Important things to remember:

  1. These are all highlights from one game.
  2. This is AAU, so the kid’s in high school.  Rose is probably 17 and doing this.

More Derrick Rose here.

@gotem_coach

These are seriously ill. And all from one game.

I would like to contend that this man has the softest, smoothest voice in the industry.

My favorite Spring Sing song of the last 3 years.
