Rob Kalin

I just read an article on Inc.com about Rob Kalin, who is the founder of Etsy. The article is titled, Can Rob Kalin Scale Etsy? But that's not what the article is about. The article is actually about a fashion show in Greenpoint where hipster chicks wore spandex and drank Budweiser.Two hippie dudes started an Etsy store, and now they make enough money to make a living. Now they live in New York and throw fashion show parties. They have a real life store now, not just an online one. They have Rob Kalin to thank for this. They are evidence of Etsy's success. Kalin is 30 and awkward. He is also rich. The point of the article, as far as I can tell, is that hipsters can be rich too, and it's all because of the Internet. There was no discussion about scale. There probably should have been, as it's an interesting question, even if I have no idea what it means.

Hedley and Niah caves

Hedley started his journey in 1980,with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They travelled by car , large ferry , and small boat.They started their trip from Brunei in the morning. They travelled by their car, but they can’t cross the river with the car, so ferry was the only choice. They arrived at sunset and Hedley's family were tired and they stayed in the guest house. The important moment was when they got in the Niah cave, the smell of the cave was very bad, and they were watching to the nest hunting.The next day they returned home in Brunei.
