Newsletter of Eric Friedman - Issue #7
So Dad, its good #6 - thanks for joining the ride. The reaction to my last newsletter was great and great encouragement to keep writing. Thanks everyone who responded, and got a laugh or two out of these. Welcome all 264 of you!
On my mind
I got some great feedback from my newsletters and the encouragement to write more has been great. I am in the thick of things running the ODX program, but there is a certain flow state for me when I am investing and working closely with early stage teams - I love it! Onwards to the good stuff.
Tools I use
My bookmarks manager — raindrop.io
I started using https://raindrop.io/ which is a Chrome extension for clipping links, a desktop app for managing bookmarks, and a mobile app for easy recall. While nothing can replace Del.ico.us this is a close comparison.
