'It’s a sweaty Sunday behind the scenes at the crowded café where I work. Lemon slices are flying, coffee is sloshing, and the air conditioner has taken the day off. The floor has a ketchup-y sheen to it. My greasy shoelace is untied and I don’t have the time or the space to tend to it. Here comes my boss, into the fray. I freeze.

'[.Net is the new Cobol]. I shorted Microsoft stock recently. That might seem strange. Microsoft made $16 billion last year and sports a modest PE of 15.7 which in today’s hyped world of growth stocks is nothing – Netflix’s is more than 500 and Salesforce doesn’t even make money. So if you’re a money guy, then MSFT looks attractive. Not only that [yes there is a ‘but’ coming], Microsoft is doing a lot of things right.

'I forget if it was at a marriage prep seminar years ago or not but I remember the speaker making the case that the worst reason to get married is to ‘help’ the person you are marrying. Her point was that while helping other people is great, by itself it’s a weak structure for underpinning a lifelong relationship.

'There’s a great article [registration required for the full article] in this week’s New Yorker about Business Insider and Henry Blodget. I’m not the biggest fan of Business Insider although I think Blodget himself is a great writer and that he got a bum deal at the hands of the ultra-corrupt Eliot Spitzer back during the internet meltdown when Blodget was a stock pumper-dumper and Spitzer was the New York state District Attorney.

'Authenticity. The degree to which one is true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character. And I’ll add the degree to which you can communicate that clearly – and quickly – or perhaps are willing to communicate it. As far as that last piece goes though, we may not always have the conscious choice we think we do, as authenticity is not purely an innate quality, and it’s often defined by what others see in us.
