Big Red Car here. Nice, lovely crisp day in the ATX. Going to be a beauty–move to Texas kind of wonderful. But, hey, you already knew that.
So The Boss’s offspring are an investment banker and a startup graphic designer. One foot in a legacy company wrestling with becoming a more timely enterprise and a startup going through adolescence. Got The Boss thinking about evolving ways to run a business. Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Bit cloudy and cool here this morning in the ATX, still Spring is in the air. It is currently 72F and it will be 87F before the day is through.
So The Boss gets talking with a couple of venture capitalists and the conversation drifts toward “inflection points” or pivots and how to deal with them. Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Brrrr, it’s cold here in Austin. Not “Hell froze over cold”. Not even Chicago cold. But cold for us Texas hot house tomatoes.
It’s 35F but it feels like 30F. We are such weenies in Texas. [STFU, Big Red Car, no we are not.]
Big Red Car here. Oh boy, it’s going to be 75F and sunny here in the ATX today. Oh boy! [Hey, Big Red Car, STFU because other folks live in places like Chicago and it’s wicked cold there. Actually it’s going to be quite nice in Chicago today.]
So The Boss is still in Steamboat Springs skiing. It snowed like mad yesterday and last night. Probably got more than a foot of fresh powder. They were out grooming it all night long.
Big Red Car here. I’m getting a bit worried about The Boss. It’s snowing like nuts in Steamboat Springs and the first retail marijuana store has apparently opened in the ‘Boat.
I hope he doesn’t get mowed down by a snowboarder. A stoned snowboarder.
Well, The Boss has been reading all about George Washington (for about the fifth time that the Big Red Car is aware of) and is reading Douglas Southall Freeman’s seven volume history of Washington for at least the second time.
Freeman is the author of the definitive works on Washington and Robert E Lee.
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, the ATX — going to be 70F today and sunny for the next ten days.
So The Boss is still in Steamboat Springs skiing. Bad habit, snow is good and The Boss just doesn’t come home. He has to be home by Christmas, right?
Big Red Car here. Hey, it’s raining in the ATX and I don’t like that. It’s a bit cold in addition. The Boss had a day of power washing laid on but it looks a bit spotty. I like The Boss to get his power washing on — it makes the simpleton so damn happy. [Haha, watch it Big Red Car.]
So The Boss has always been a huge fan of the transformation of old economy companies to new economy companies. A great way to create value by essentially jerking the old economy company into the real, current world.
