I am personally struggling with my definition of “friend” on facebook. There are a few ways of handling friends on facebook:

  1. I want to meet them
  2. I knew them
  3. I know them
  4. I know them well
Which do you use?

With only 2 months until we leave for Arctic Row, we’ve increase our training routine.

Last weekend our crew rowed 60-miles across the width of Lake Michigan. Here’s a video about that row 20 hours and 59 minute row:

This weekend I rowed from San Francisco to Oakland and back. Here’s a map of that 16 mile row:

I met the most prominent rower in the world today, Roz Savage. She’s the only woman to row across the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, all solo. She wrote a book about her Atlantic Crossing. She was in San Francisco this week to prepare her boat to row across the Atlantic. She was super kind, gave me a bunch of tips and wished Arctic Row well. I wished her well also, her rowing expedition leaves in a couple days.

Our next house party is this Saturday. Eventbrite allowed me to plot the location of the tickets buyers on a map. Based on purchased tickets, people from across the world are coming over to our house for a drink.

Harvard Business Review has an excellent article on graphs this month (December 2011). Here’s a picture of the article I took in Los Angeles airport while on a trip for ArcticRow to meet Scott Mortensen. And here’s a PDF I found via google in the HBR Archives: Visual Statement.
