Caspar de Bono on his father, Edward, who keeps his things sorted into piles, by importance: He's very frugal in his day-to-day needs, he doesn't splash his money about and he keeps absolutely everything. His mantelpiece is crammed with clockwork teeth and plastic dinosaurs. Toy shops are a passion; everywhere he goes he seeks browser software them out and emerges with a new toy, something with a trick or a dual purpose which fascinates him. Though his surroundings look chaotic, his life is very structured. His flat is filled with piles of stuff, but on top of each is a white tile with a number, rating it in importance . More how we work .

That's what we did--we decamped for a bit. Around mid-day on Tuesday, I had a second interview for a position that I had first interviewed for on Monday of the previous week. The first interview was conducted by the female partner, who seemed lovely and quite nice. It's not really a job I want, but they BIKE RAMP offer a very generous benefits package, so I'll admit I pretended to be interested when she said she wanted me to meet her partner this week. (He'd been out all of last week.) Let's just say the male partner couldn't be more different in demeanor and approach. I sat in the interview, making all of the right noises, pretending I was oh-so-interested. But inside I was thinking, "Dude, you are WAY too uptight." I saw history repeating itself. Here was a job landing in my lap--in an industry that I hated--and my intuition was screaming, "RUN! RUN! RUN!" I was near tears when I hooked up with the boyfriend, who'd been waiting in the parking lot across the street. I told him about the extremely generous benefits...and then said, "I just don't think I can do it. I'll hate it." He sort of smiled and said, "I was waiting for you to say that." That decided, and having just gotten out of Dodge for part of Memorial Day, we suddenly said, "Let's go camping! While we can! Before we get jobs!" So we made a mad dash to Wal-Mart in Woodland to buy camping gear, since we'd sold all of ours in Portland before moving to the V.I.

I spoke at one of the sessions at the WEF today, and shared a reciepe for how to get rich in the programs affiliate marketing valley I heard when I got to the Silicon Valley... There is a classic three stage plan for success in our neck of the woods. (1) come up with a great idea for a startup, write it down on a business plan (make it short and concise, practice on a napkin), go to Sandhill road (where all the Venture Capitalists reside), shake a tree (any tree), shake it well, shake it until a Venture Capitalists drops, show him the plan and take $5M in funding (2) take the money, find a great team, build your product, see the company grow, take the company public, sell your shares (3) Go climb a tree on Sandhill road Now the problem with the middle-east is that whenever you dig in the ground to plant a row of trees you are bound to find oil, so there are no trees to climb and no one to climb on them. Yet every great industry is bound to come to an end not because you run out of its product, but because a great disruption occured. As they say the stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones... So what are the enterprenures in the middle-east to do? I proposed to the assmebled leaders from the region it might be a great time to start shaking an oil rig. With the money that is coming into the region it is time to find the energy experts who have climbed the rig and show them some great alternative energy ideas to get funded.
