Recently, the lady I share my life with, started doing a lot of Yoga, eating less meat and more salads. As you can expect, my initial reaction was to verify that she has not completely lost her mind, and ask her what’s going on.   She recommended I watch Forks and Knives, and I did. This post is a follow-up for me watching the movie (click here to watch for free on Hulu).   Funny [...]

A friend of mine talked to me about a situation their at, almost philosophical, and after some time talking about it, I asked them if I can blog about it w/o mentioning their name.   Here goes, I broke it down to sections: Life. Odd. KISS. Porn.   Life. If you think about everything people need to deal with on a daily basis w/o really paying attention that we do it – it is kind [...]

Put that thought of why I used this ‘mother holding a baby’ image for this blog post aside for one second, we’ll get to that at the end.   Throughout the Taboola journey, many folks have been asking me “why the name Taboola?” and I thought I’ll blog about it.   I came up with the name Taboola by thinking about “Tabula Rasa”, which means blank slate in Latin. Only what happened was that (1) [...]

The guy who showed me the car told me – “look at the dashboard, you see how the main real-estate goes to the RPM and not to the speedometer like every other car? That’s because when you drive a Porsche it doesn’t matter [...]

I had the pleasure of spending some quality time over the weekend with good friends of ours. We talked about bunch of things, and at some point someone asked – “so what revolution really happened in the past 20 years? because before that we had VCR, Cable, Beatles,..”   I answered that I think “Access To Data”.   This then led into a conversation about what exactly happened in the past 20 years, and how [...]

It makes me sad. Seeing a company that can rise to $130B in valuation and go down to $10B. Gives you perspective. And not to mention I was a client of them at one point, a passionate one.   Sad.   If you’ve ever read my stuff you know that I don’t believe in products, markets or finance as much as I believe in people, their ability to accept change and actually apply those changes [...]
