The Inimitable Tiff

The online adventures of Tiff Fehr (@tiffehr), a UX engineerette at The New York Times. Feel free to peruse my somewhat popular geek-themed Tumblr, too, if that's your thing.

More personally than the above or below, I document notable adventures (much later than when they actually happen): Oktoberfest '04, Guatemala '08, Europe '10, Wisconsin '10, Middle East '11*. (* in progress)

Calacanis: the Tony Robbins of Web 2.0 — mathewingram.com

I’ve read through his newsletter several times and extracted some of those key lessons:

  • People are scared, and they should be.
  • Metaphors swing both ways.
  • Sometimes it’s really, really stupid to keep fighting.
  • The darkest hour is, in fact, right before the dawn.
  • If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, go see a professional.
  • Feel free to print this out.
  • You need to access where you’re at, and fight on.
  • If you fail, then by definition you have tried.
  • If your idea is wrong, it really doesn’t matter.
  • The market will tell you what it wants.
  • Execute better.

Really, these just scratch the surface of what you’re going to find in Jason’s missive. There’s so much gold in there, it’s like Fort Knox or something.
