Tinkering

May 19, 2018May 25, 2018 Jo Tango

I am redesigning the Kepha web site and now am the Admin. I do the same for my blog, and it is a fun hobby. It also helps me in my day job as a VC. Digital media is a pretty broad landscape these days, and, when I work on a blog, I get to

July 28, 2017July 28, 2017 Jo Tango

Saw this on social media and thought I’d share. It is pretty cool. With all of the serious maneuvering going on in Congress, I thought it would be fitting to have a Friday moment of levity. Have a great weekend, everyone!

ArtLifting: ‘Buy Art, Change a Life’

December 16, 2015September 10, 2016 Jo Tango

I’m really grateful to Jacqueline de la Rosa, who mentioned ArtLifting.com. It’s a website that features art from disabled and/or homeless artists.

Income by Myers-Briggs Type

March 24, 2015March 24, 2015 Jo Tango

For fun, I periodically Google my Myers-Briggs type. Yes, I need a life. I’m a big fan of the test, as it helps name people’s style preferences, and I’ve found it to be pretty accurate both in work and home settings (all of my blog posts on Myers-Briggs here). So, I found this article very interesting.
