Hackable Business Development
I talked with Jon about exactly this a couple weeks ago. Great write-up of some advice he offered me.
jonsteinberg:

Should I buy the Sunday Ticket?
As you may know, I’m a Pittsburgher, and thus a HUGE Steeler fan, living in exile. Network cable doesn’t broadcast every Steeler game in the NYC market, and I don’t always want to spend my Sunday afternoon/evening in a dingy sports bar.

Maybe this is old, but Angelinos, this is wonderful. Truly. LA has a strange kind of beauty that you often have to look hard (or contextualize hard) to find. It’s not readily evident. But when you find it, the revelation that Los Angeles - a city often written off as too big, too sprawling, too superficial - is one of the most strangely beautiful cities in the world, it’s pretty staggering. via...
