Hi. My name is Edward Daciuk and this is my blog. This blog is about looking off the beaten path for interesting ideas, opportunities, and insights. For lots of things like take-out food, buying a car, picking a good school, the wisdom of the crowd prevails. However for the really important things in life – career, coaching your kids, investing, making a difference in life, being a good influence, finding interesting books or people or activities, etc. – I really believe thinking for yourself and taking some risk is best. So I’m putting together this little site to evangelize just that – think for yourself, do your own thing, don’t be afraid to be outside the herd.
As of now I’m managing director at a VC startup – Pivot. Pivot does cool things for institutional traders.
was just going to email u 4 ur bio… and voila! must have read my mind tho was hoping for more background detail.
looking forward to topics on parenting (ain’t it a hoot? blank slates you scarily get to influence!) and books. five i hope my kids read someday: watership down, watchmen, dune, atlas shrugged, and blindness. a book i revisited with disappointment? confederacy of dunces. btw, recommend the kindle?
