This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Astute as always. My personal favorites are ‘Exhaustion’, ‘Loyalty’,'Gut-check’ and ‘Love’.

That’s just awesome. At first, I wanted a T-shirt with the points and lines labeled directly, but then I noticed that if you read AA-FG in order, it tells a story.
Now I want a t-shirt with the labeled version on the front, and the full “story” on the back.

Humanity summarized. Very cool. Thanks.

How long do you work on one of these before it’s ready for the masses?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
NICE.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Oh my goodness. This is great. Just curious, did this one take you longer than normal?

Wow — a masterpiece!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Awesome!

All right, somebody has to call B.S. on this one.
As profound as some of these may be, I find myself wondering if you simply plopped down the top 28 words from some motivational poster catalog?
I mean, come on, “passion + patience = chivalry”? Kinda stretching it a bit.
Still, fun.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
“passion + patience = chivalry” is great, in the romance context, of course.
The best post I’ve seen here.
June 30th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Wow, this is brilliant. I first thought of passion+patience=chivalry in the romantic context, but it works in other relational contexts as well.
I’m not sure about AD - hustle+humility=innovation. I think ABD is more complete. You need a problem to solve…
June 30th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
In a business context you could say passion + patience = ethics
June 30th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
How about one with excuses? My college-aged son could probably do it for you!

Cheers Harpreet

This is both brilliant and beautiful.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:01 am
Jess, this one is definitely worth printing on a silk t-shirt. Good stuff.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:43 am
I’m too dumb to get any of the ones with “Hustle” in it, but i liked Gut-check, Chivalry, Charm and Hypothesizing pretty well
July 1st, 2009 at 9:02 am
to be honest, i’m not a huge fan of these cards…
perhaps it’s because of my being a gen y, and preferring to be able to process things quickly.
I just don’t feel that these are as brilliant as some of jessica’s other works…
July 1st, 2009 at 9:04 am
I love it! 21 little Venn diagrams all in one.
And you have all of our DG for squeezing in the “r” rather than re-doing the entire card.
(”Typos” are such a pain.)
Now if I could only get some more “B” students …
Keep up the good work.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:27 pm
wow.
seriously, I would buy the t-shirt now.
thanks
July 1st, 2009 at 5:48 pm
This is really fascinating and thought provoking. Thank you!

I think everyone knows spiffy is right, he/she just chose a poor example (it’s easily rationalized, by most people, in the romantic sense).
The connections evoke the same sort of vagueness that fortunes do, consequently allowing you to rationalize them by filling in your own perceptions of the terms based on personal life experiences.
With that said, it’s a very insightful exercise. The process shows you which emotions/actions are easily identifiable to you and as such play a bigger role in your life (for better or worse). For example, I have a hard time making sense of most of the connections involving node A. Tellingly, it so happens that I tend to take a casual approach to most things in life, leading to both better and worse consequences.

The most important thing here, is that his primary object was his hustle.
THAT makes this what it is. But you already knew that.
