I decided to stay in NYC and spend Thanksgiving by myself. Spent the day feeling a little lonely and reading. After dinner, my brother and Amy called...
Having just been giving some magic chocolates by a friend, I spent the morning stretching and listening to the very excellent Terence Mckenna lecture on psychedelics from 1994.
Later that evening, I got an Apogee JAM adapter that lets you jack your guitar's audio signal into your computer. I spent the rest of the night playing around with GarageBand.
Then spent the rest of the afternoon helping a start-up I advise build a model that takes all their assumptions into consideration and helps them understand how the relationship between all the variables in their business and how they related to the return (or lack of return!) generated by their investment. Modeling this all out beforehand helps companies identify what needs to be true in order to be successful. (Nerd stuff!)
Work-plug: If your company employs developers, I'd love to help you create a similar map that you can use to understand how to best invest their time and effort in order to grow the business. (Flux Capacity)
After almost two years of consulting full-time as Flux Capacity, I finally had worked with enough clients to put together a decent-looking clients page. Photoshop drop-shadow, kapow!
