Cultural Interflow
This is one of the best things TBB has found, check it out. And it is pretty cool to watch too, especially how the borders have changed since the beginning of time and the migration flow!
In the current uprising of right-wing politics, the discussions often focus on a view of the world in its present state rather than understanding it as a historical process. Migration, ethnical identity are culturally created processes, which go back thousands of years and should not only be looked at from today’s standpoint. Once we move away from the question, who is migrating today to the question who migrated the most. The countries who try to stop migration today are the biggest migrators themselves. Looking at these patterns alone is not enough. We still separate the world into countries. Creating borders where there are none. Borders are not given but created. Over the last thousands of years, people have drawn them into a world without borders. In our interconnected world, we should think twice about continuing this effort.

Life in the High-Rise: My Brutalist Holiday in Belgrade’s Genex Tower
Another great post over at The Bohemian Blog. There is something about these ugly structures and the way they portray…decay!
A Restaurant Ruined My Life
This is a must read for all aspiring restaurant entrepreneurs! Be careful what you wish for in following your dreams, you have no idea what you are into! I washed dishes and delivered pizzas back in my college days and there is no way in hell I am ever going to get involved professionally in anything that involves a kitchen!
You need to balance that with living a life without regrets…It’s a tough balancing act!
The Dead Man Fund
If you have been around the investing business like I have, there is no doubt that you may have come across the mother of all shitty mutual fund company, the Steadman funds (later became known as Ameritor funds). For the life of me I could never comprehend why anyone with a tiny bit of brains would ever send these phucking asshole scum bags ANY money at all. This is a great story about them and it should serve as notice that you need to do some research who you want to help you in investing your hard earned money! You know, same with doing some research and giving your credit card clicks to a worthy blogger who adds value to your life and treats you with respect and not as a punching bag pummeling you to death with moronic content solely designed to enrich their own pockets!
Can Ford Turn Itself Into a Tech Company?
There are huge changes underway in the automotive industry. We don’t know how it will look years from now. The new Ford CEO is an interesting character and I just hope his bets pay off as many livelihood are at stake with the company. Mrs. TBB works at Ford too!
And a lot of these changes are happening in my back yard. It is kind of exciting!
And I leave you with this…

I remember the Steadman funds. I remember washing dishes more.
Real downers.
But I’m first on TBB, so maybe things are looking up.
Silver! Love the restaurant story, too!
Hi guys…
I am getting excited I will be coming back home and have so much to catch up with!
quick question: Is Twitter down today? Not been able to connect…the wifi connections here in Greece can be super slow sometimes..
Terrific links this morning. And the best anteater bit ever.
My tweets are current through an hour ago.
There is a coffee chain in Greece named Mikel. Greatest wifi ever! Great coffee and service as well. Started by a guy in my city, I think they are up to a couple of hundred stores. Check it out if you ever see one while you visit Greece.
We are back to normal, post coming tomorrow.
TPG has a podcast about his move from “investment banking” to full time travel.
If we/you don’t address this tomorrow, I’m NEVER reading your blog again!
Already scheduled, sorry. Last full day here, too much to do.
Fine, you called my bluff.
