I’ve been on a video binge watching insightful and inspirational talks by some of the VC and entrepreneurship community’s leaders, all given at Stanford over the past 3-4 years. Many of these were suggested by my friend Greg, who is himself an angel investor in some very promising ventures.
I’m posting these here as both [...]
The Tuesday, September 25th US edition of the WSJ has an article on one of the most successful academic-institution chancellors – the one and only E. Gordon Gee, who once presided as Brown University’s chancellor for a mere two years and miraculously burned through $3 million fixing up the president’s mansion before being whisked away [...]
I was visiting the Stanford bookstore today and saw a sign over in the computer section that amused me. Here’s a section from Stanford’s new student “getting started” guide with the quote which was on the sign:

I remember well the hype surrounding the CAVE at my alma mater, with some interesting applications including this one (PDF) by uber-geek classmate and friend Matt Ahrens. Scott Fisher has some interesting current work going on, but as Jaron points [...]
Well okay, maybe not everyone, but the housing craze doesn’t seem to be tapering off anytime soon. I just found out today my friend Carl, who runs whatweate.com just bought a house and is throwing a warming party in a few weekends. Then there’s Mitch, who not only bought a house but a [...]
Just returned to Tokyo after a wonderful week with the family in New York (so great a city, they had to name it twice), and attending the marriage of my friend Ben to Becky. Ben and I spent a good number of years attending the same academic institutions — 3 years in highschool and [...]
