To speak of many things

Two great conversations yesterday to brighten up my day.

First off I had lunch with Euan Semple and, over some very nice Thai food, caught up with what he's been doing. It appears the life of the super-star consultant agrees with him! I've been getting into existential psychology lately and we had an interesting discussion about that, psychology and the web, and how it changes us, and about tools that we might imagine to help us cope and make sense of it all. In many ways this harks back - with perhaps more clarity of purpose - to the sort of ideas that were driving me back when Paolo and I started to collaborate.

Then I got to have dinner at Carluccio's with John Hornbaker who, despite his mild mannered appearance, works out with the army, sails, and climbs mountains! We had a good chat about the world of startups and entrepreneurship, technology, karate (my favourite topic to bore conversation partners to death with), sailing, and your state of mind when you fall 25' down a mountainside and break your ankle.
