Aragon Could Be the Future of Business Administration

Aragon Could Be the Future of Business Administration

At 3PM GMT on May 17th 2017, Luis Cuende & Jorge Izquierdo launched a token sale to raise money for their Ethereum-based blockchain technology that would disintermediate the processes associated with running a corporation using a framework known as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). By 3:15PM GMT, the token sale was over and they has raised $25 million for Aragon Foundation, parent organization of the Aragon Core platform and the Aragon Network (AN). It takes a lot of star power to sell out of anything in 15-minutes.

Running: Sun, 2 Sep 2018 19:50:49

Day two of two in a row. Hopefully I can keep up a daily run of at least 2 miles a day. I'd prefer it to be 4/day but I didn't sleep well at all last night so I'm being gentle.

I've started a very little weight lifting habit I will build upon

I've started a very little weight lifting habit I will build upon

Now that my pad’s a weight room, I need to keep my forward momentum. I worked out using a combination of TRX, bench with kettlebells, and a 37-pound resistance band, doing a mixture of presses, rows, fallouts, pullovers, tricep extensions, dips, kettlebell bench presses, and close grip presses.

My pad's a weight room

My pad's a weight room

A plumber came by my pad to fix my tub and he told me that I live in a prison weight room. Okay, he didn't say "prison" but it was all in the tone. It's true.

Why men shouldn't stop running

Why men shouldn't stop running

For those of us who aren't naturally as smooth as a dolphin or who aren't religious about their waxing or manscaping, it takes a couple days of running for all the hair in your running shorts to be brutally torn out by the roots; after which, it's all smooth sailing.

Getting some rowing in (I never remotely do it enough: frequency, intensity, or duration)

Getting some rowing in (I never remotely do it enough: frequency, intensity, or duration)

I was able to motivate myself enough, even after a terrible sinus headache, into doing almost seven thousand easy meters. It wasn't a lot in terms of intensity, distance, or duration, but I got it done

Running: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 20:20:19: I was hungry so I ran to Whole Foods for prepared dinner

I was hungry so I ran to Whole Foods for prepared dinner-- I put my hunger at the end of a two-mile run. Sort of an athletic food tax. I ended up taking the 16G bus home instead of making it a loop.

Well, this was only .70 miles longer than regular but it was much more scenic. The dorky hat I'm wearing is a heart rate sensor. So worth being a dork.

Third run of the rest of my life! Night run. My body was more physically tired tonight so I guess this even slower run is sort of a recovery run? My form was more like marching band leader than even slow Jogging. You know what that looks like right? In marching band? Huzzah! Activity: Run

TUNG Brush influencer marketing case study from Kristen Matthews

TUNG Brush influencer marketing case study from Kristen Matthews

It’s always very important to get your client on your side, on your team. If you don’t have their buy-in, they might not be willing to commit so much time, money, and resources to something that could fail–especially in a world with lots and lots of affiliate marketing and advertising products.

My all time favorite quote about creative genius is from Six Degrees of Separation

My all time favorite quote about creative genius is from Six Degrees of Separation

"I remembered asking my kids' second-grade teacher: 'Why are all your students geniuses? Look at the first grade - blotches of green and black. The third grade - camouflage. But your grade, the second grade, Matisses, every one. You've made my child a Matisse. Let me study with you. Let me into the second grade. What is your secret?' 'I don't have any secret. I just know when to take their drawings away from them.'"
