I’m a bit of a black sheep among entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. Unlike most of my peers who spent their formative years writing code, I spent mine writing stories. Most tech startups believe

Luke Reed & Tea Leigh - Rivers of Love
Like an intimate confession between loverz, vibe creator Luke Reed and folk songstress Tea Leight have teamed up to create the audio version of staring at a shimmering body of water. Not to be ‘punny’ but it really is like the musical narration of a couple sitting in rafts lazily floating down a river in the middle of no where just taking in the quite.

He Writes Music to Voicemails
One Hello World’s 100th Track: He Writes Music to VoicemailsFeaturing excerpts from the messages that make up this humble project’s debut album, “The Listener” (releasing next weekend!). Order it now.
Please kindly consider reblogging so as to share the upcoming album release with your friends and fans. <3
Incredible. Please, please, please listen and support.
On a personal note, every time I think about how I got to know Jared and his amazing project One Hello World, I think of this Steve Jobs quote: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.”
I stumbled upon One Hello World at a difficult time in life two years ago in 2010. I found immediate comfort in listening to the voices of strangers and how beautifully paired their voices were with the music Jared composed. It was also cathartic to contribute.
After that, I saw his following steadily grow. He has essentially built a global community of listeners and callers connecting with each other by the power of human experiences and emotions expressed through sound.
Fast forward to the present. I started my dream job at SoundCloud on the Community team in November. Jared and I re-connected again about his project and his interest in engaging more with the SoundCloud community. He then applied for our SoundCloud Heroes program and is now representing as the SoundCloud Syracuse Hero. I meet him this weekend in-person at our Heroes Summit.
I can’t believe this is all actually happening. All the dots just connect. That’s the condensed version, but all I have to say is that I’m so humbled and happy.
George R.R. Martin on writing women
- George Stroumboulopoulos: There's one thing that's interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
- George R.R. Martin: You know, I've always considered women to be people.
