In honor of #mlkjr I’ll share my favorite quote. “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.” This is something ALL Americans need to be reminded of. Let’s just love each other.

Just had the most amazing sushi experience with my family at Okaeri Japanese Bistro in San Francisco. Has to be one of the best deals for Omakase around but you wouldn’t know it by the quality.

Listening to my 75 year old father teach a friend how to print directly from their IPad. It’s adorable and I feel like a proud parent-child.

Fun watching the #saints come back and almost take one. I’ll let the pro’s discuss if going for 2 was the best path to victory. It made the 4th qtr fun so I can’t hate that.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. Breaking the no comments rules. Timoshenko’s work on buckling and elasticity is widely referenced still today even though it was first published in 1936. If you’re an ME then this is a must.

Today is Eli Whitney’s birthday. Many believe his greatest impact was inventing the cotton gin (which brought him little success) but I’d like to highlight him pioneering interchangeable parts to truly enable mass production. Nobody can argue his impact on American History.

We did it. We survived a Monday after a long weekend. Long because either you had it off for the holiday or because you had to work it.
Let’s get through this week together & make the best of it.
Goals:
Finish something at work
Learn something new
Do something helpful & expect nothing in return

“Experiment is the sole judge of scientific ‘truth’.”-Feynman
This lead me to a rabbit hole philosophically defining truth,morals, etc. Separating facts from truth & being more intentional in applying philosophy to first-principles thinking.
Ironic bc I think he wasn’t a fan of philosophers.
