Gianluca Gimini renders people's drawing of bicycles
back in 2009 I began pestering friends and random strangers. I would walk up to them with a pen and a sheet of paper asking that they immediately draw me a men’s bicycle, by heart. Soon I found out that when confronted with this odd request most people have a very hard time remembering exactly how a bike is made. Some did get close, some actually nailed it perfectly, but most ended up drawing something that was pretty far off from a regular men’s bicycle.
Tapp Malu - A Children's Book Published
Today I am a proud to announce that my wife’s first children’s book illustration is available on Amazon. Tapp Malu was written by Angelika Tscherepanow and it is a really cute story. Monika put a lot of effort into it and it came out great and with a unique style you won’t find in any other children’s book.
Go get it and help make this little endeavor a success for her.

Lying by Sam Harris
A great read that has me thinking about how to behave myself in the future.
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie.
The Chokehold of Calendars
Calendars are a record of interruptions. And quite often they’re a battlefield over who owns whose time. […] In my experience, most people don’t schedule their work. They schedule the interruptions that prevent their work from happening. […] Let’s start with the premise that you have a 40 hour week. (If you just started crying you need a new job.) […] People rarely schedule working time. And when they do it’s viewed as second-tier time.
Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule
I never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense. I’m definitely on a maker’s schedule.
