First up:
"The modern tech CEO: Barefoot and 21" by John D. Sutter
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/11/02/seth.priebatsch.scvngr/index.html

Seth Priebatsch dropped out of Princeton to create SCVNGR, and Peter Bell (from the firm Highland Capital Partners) gave Seth $730,000 for the business in December 2008.

Afterwards we talked about old times, what happened during the 17 years in-between, and what our plans are going forward.

Another artist passed at age 27. Makes me sad. The specter of addiction has taken so many wonderful people from us.

Recovery has become a spectator sport. Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Lil' Wayne wearing a "fuck rehab" shirt on-stage, and now Amy Winehouse.

Again, these kinds of things were probably always going on, and I recognize that. When I was in active addiction, I paid attention to the people who were using. Now that I'm in recovery, I pay attention to the people who are getting clean. Human nature I guess, but I suppose it's better to pay attention to one, rather than the other!

Maybe it's just me, that I'm acutely aware of all the celebrities in rehab, in recovery, in relapse. Maybe I do it to feel better about my decision. Either way, it gives me hope.

Get money. Go home.

There was a time in my life when I had an ego about "jobs" - ie. where I worked, how it looked to the rest of the world, how much money I was making, etc. etc. Recent life experience has taught me otherwise. In December of 2009 I was as financially destitute as I have ever been. &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DjFmsIndustrialStrengthBlog/~4/H5SgdyVqIFQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><feedburner:origLink>http://djfmdotcom.blogspot.com/2010/11/ambition-jobs-get-money-end.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkQCR3w4fCp7ImA9WhZSEE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521110078203070080.post-1410691529523087314</id><published>2010-11-16T14:21:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-03-24T22:32:46.234-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-03-24T22:32:46.234-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DJ FM" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="rave" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="house" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="download" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="techno" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="free" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DJ mix" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="electronic music" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="podcast" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="itunes" /><title>New DJ FM podcast site LIVE!</title><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://djfmdotcom.blogspot.com/feeds/1410691529523087314/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://djfmdotcom.blogspot.com/2010/11/hi-peeps-heres-link-to-my-new-podcast.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5521110078203070080/posts/default/1410691529523087314?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5521110078203070080/posts/default/1410691529523087314?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DjFmsIndustrialStrengthBlog/~3/Ffl0FkIy1vM/hi-peeps-heres-link-to-my-new-podcast.html" title="New DJ FM podcast site LIVE!" /><author><name>DJ FM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06624599307744464720</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Pjxej_-WZR4/TMHbKDuiA3I/AAAAAAAAAAM/NvQhkaFlNa0/S220/djfm.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><content type="html">
