Well it&#8217;s official, or at least it feels that way.  I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to ever sell the GJG directly to users profitably.  It doesn&#8217;t mean that GJG is a flawed concept, it just means that Chris and I are unable to sell it effectively with our approach.  And [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been thinking and wondering a lot lately about what needs to come together to create a working company.  I&#8217;m not going to touch the issue of &#8220;successful,&#8221; company because that&#8217;s really impossible to quantify (at least for me), so instead I&#8217;m just going to look at what I think is needed to [...]]]></description>

I recently finished Thomas Friedman&#8217;s latest book: Hot, Flat, Crowded and I loved it.&#160; He does a great job describing the major problems facing our increasingly hot, flat, and crowded world, which include booming population growth, more energy demand, a changing climate, and rapidly accelerating biodiversity loss.&#160; (Rapidly accelerating biodiversity loss is a topic covered [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been meaning to write something on Fred Wilson&#8217;s post last week on job losses here in the US, noting that the announcement last week of 75,000 jobs being wiped out in one day exceeded the amount of jobs he had helped create in 22 years of venture investing. Wow.   He goes [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not that I stopped writing blog posts, it&#8217;s just that I stopped posting them here.  I find that I&#8217;m constantly writing out thoughts, but I struggle consistently posting them here.  Instead I usually will email them to a few different people to get feedback.  I realized today that I [...]]]></description>

In my first week in awhile of being more systematic about my todo list, I&#8217;ve decided to grade my effectiveness this week and it wasn&#8217;t pretty.  Of the 50+ items I had on there (some as simple as write and mail thank you note or email so and so), I probably completed around [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a great article on bubbles from Friday&#8217;s WSJ.  I think this is a great definition of just exactly what a bubble is, whether tulip bubble or dotcom bubble:
Bubbles emerge at times when investors profoundly disagree about the significance of a big economic development, such as the birth of the Internet. Because [...]]]></description>

A friend of mine called me the other day to discuss his plans to leave his job and start a business in a year.  I could feel his excitement, and supported his decision.  But the truth is I didn&#8217;t really believe in his plan, and I don&#8217;t really think he did [...]]]></description>
