Yoda Essential Notebook. Make a list. Cross items off. Repeat. - Owen The act of crossing off To Do list items just can’t be replicated by an iPhone app. We’re fans of staying organized here at Owen & Fred, and nothing keeps us quite as organized as a pocket sized notebook. Try this on for size. A sleek little notebook in our signature colors (with bright red stitching) and Yoda will inspire your day. Each lined notebook is the size of a passport - 5 inches high by 3.5 inches wide, and contains 80 pages for groceries and inspiration. The book is made by hand in Brooklyn, by Emgie Libris for Owen & Fred. The paper is cut by hand. The cover is cut by hand. The book is stitched by hand, and the quote on the cover is stamped. By hand. Nice, right? Please allow 2 weeks for shipping.
Collections at the moment is a fairly general product. Not to fall in the trap of ‘doing 1,001 things and none of them well’, our current roadmap is to go usecase by usecase and majorly deepen the experience. Big portion of the last week was devoted to improve the…

Immigration Reform: Stop Ejecting the Brightest Minds From America
Let’s hope Congress does not flinch as it begins the debate about immigration reform because the future is passing through security – in the wrong direction. It leaves the United States on every departing airplane carrying a foreign born student who has graduated from an American university with an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering and math. The majority of these people want to stay in the United States but because of existing immigration laws, they have no choice but to leave.
In Silicon Valley, which has always been blind to any attribute other than ability, everyone knows that the remarkable achievements of the foreign born have led to the formation of companies such as Google, Intel, Sun Microsystems, nVidia, Yahoo! PayPal and scores of others that are less well known. Of the last eleven early stage companies that have allied themselves with Sequoia Capital, seven have had immigrants among their founding lineup. This is not a sudden or recent phenomenon; it has been the leitmotif of our business since the 1970s. However, the number of startups would be even higher if we weren’t ejecting foreign-born students and if we welcomed their contemporaries who have been educated overseas. Today, it is impossible to satisfy Silicon Valley’s appetite for engineers and scientists with people born in America.

I am a gamer. I don’t work for Microsoft.
I, like most other gamers, am sick of seeing endless rumours and speculation citing “anonymous sources” or “insiders” with no evidence, no proof, no guarantee that they’ve been fact-checked or can be relied on.
The games industry is the only one I can…
Has the rise of the blogger led to the fall of the journalist? This combined with the Manti Te’o incident brings to light the current problems with the way news is being revolutionized. Now that publishing has been democratized, the true journalism has suffered yet it has become much easier to spread this low quality. As consumer of news, I think we should not stand for this! We have to demand higher quality and not accept bullshit any longer.

Some of my favorite things are bread, books, the idea of coffee (not the taste), the sound of violins, secret agents, random deep conversations, and for some reason right now the word ARTICHOKE. I’m so excited to be a part of all this. You guys are like my dream people.
