Books I recommend

Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade

Posted on April 28, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

I just had an amazing experience reading Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade.  This book is about how genetics can help us recover the history of man.  I learned so much from reading this book and I strongly recommend it.  It is easy to read and does not require a deep knowledge of genetics. Combining … Continue reading →

Japan and me, then and now

Posted on April 22, 2007 by avram miller • 1 Comment

I am in Japan showing my wife Deborah this wonderful country for the first time.  I have not been back to Japan since 2000 when I visited with Richard Li (I was on the board of his company PPCW at the time).  It was just before the bubble burst and Richard and Massa (Son) were … Continue reading →

Those who couldn’t and did

Posted on April 21, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

 After the last tech bubble burst in 2000, I developed a classification system for the people I knew and or would meet that were shaped by this.  It was a two by two matrix to deal with how people handled their stock (including options).    There were four possibilities: 1) Those who had stock that … Continue reading →

Life 2.0

Posted on April 18, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

I am trying to wean myself from being a “human doing “to become a “human being” and have only had moderate success. The trouble with retirement is you no longer enjoy doing what you are good at doing but you are not good at doing what you enjoy.  This makes you go back to old … Continue reading →

Bush must be thankful for Imus

Posted on April 14, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

George Bush must be so thankful for entertainers who do stupid things. They keep the focus of TV news shows away for him. When you look at the priorities of the news organizations (do the reflect the priorities of their audiences or create them) you have to think we are living in a mental institution. … Continue reading →

Is business like surfing

Posted on April 4, 2007 by avram miller • 1 Comment

To be successful as a surfboarder, you first need to go to the beach.  Not just any beach but one with the right waves (it is too hard to make a wave although many people in business think they can).  Then you have to fight your way out with all the little waves trying to … Continue reading →

Young Enough to be my grandson

Posted on April 3, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

Yesterday I had a two hour lunch with a young entrepreneur.  While I am use to working with men and women young enough to be my children (like Simon and David the founders of http://www.heavy.com), this was the first time I can remember meeting with a CEO who was young enough to be my grandson.  … Continue reading →

Kissing Behavior

Posted on April 2, 2007 by avram miller • Leave a comment

I know it is April Fools Day (it is also the first night of Passover and just 15 days to filling your taxes).  But today, I learned something  that really explains some kissing behavior.  A male friend of mine evidently had the best kiss of his life from a lesbian friend.  I heard that and … Continue reading →
