'Serendipity' is a poor excuse for lack of planning.
Ever had one of those 'get-to-know-you' coffees, or conference hallway conversations - where one party has their eyes glazed over with boredom; and their minds wondering off?
Not fun.
That's why I'm listing everything I'm interested in chatting about (apart from work and family). If you don't think we have a match, this page will save us both some time. :)
More importantly - if we have a match, we don't have to talk about the weather, the crowded spaces, that last vineyard trip... before we get to the real deal.
It doesn't mean that I'm not interested in discovering anything new. It means I constantly, and thoroughly think about what has me 'come alive' in conversations with friends.
Your time and mine, is way too valuable to waste on small talk. And if you're seeing this page, it means I think you've got the stomach to dive right into what we both really want to connect over.
I'll keep adding to this list, so - keep coming back!

I invest in startups, and I'm a pretty useful guy at the table when brainstorming - so if you're working on one of the above, I can offer capital and ideas.
Want to create a page like this?
If you have a personal website, a 'yourwebsite/common' page like this one, enables you to very quickly establish "common ground" with new friends.
If you think a page like this is useful -- and would like to create one for yourself -- let me know... I'll be creating a simple convention for people to create and list their '/common' pages.
