My good friend Charles le Brigand took this picture a while ago.

It’s quite a powerful piece.

It used to be up on a wall right next to my desk back in NYC.

Looking at it always reminds me how essential is to get out and just observe.

Live and breathe the data.

Ignore what’s on paper or screen.

Feel the insights.

You know, all that stuff.

It also reminds me that no matter how obsessed I get about the web, I should never
lose sight of the fulfilling value of experiencing the physical world out there.

The girl with the dark red coat trying to pull a cab;
The delivery guy navigating through traffic on his bike;
The couple arguing in front of that neighborhood bar;
The old guy who sits at the same coffee shop every Saturday morning;
The random ways in which people react when suddenly starts to rain.

The seemingly trivial stuff.

That’s what inspires me.
