8.3 million. For nametags. Say what you want about the possible benefits of having it. But they have quite some competition.
What is interesting to me, however, is that this is another Boston company being funded. I think, slowly but surely, investors are funding companies in places other than the valley. I’m interested in seeing […]

Attended my first (as well as DC’s first) BarCamp. It was an awesome experience. Not only did I learn a lot, but I met a great crowd of people. It was fascinating to discover a small but thriving community of similar web-heads, and would kill to do the things some of them do. Who knows, […]

After finally coming out of my post-grad shell and seeing what’s out there in the working world, I found out about, and subsequently signed registered for, Barcamp DC.

I initially ignored […]

Living here for six years, I had never seen any kind of entrepreneurial community. After graduating, I kept up that assumption.
And wow. I was so wrong. So very wrong. So unbelievably wrong. I’m an idiot.
Too bad I found out about this too late so I’m on the waiting list, and for this I’ll be […]

Reb Zusha was on his death bed, and tears were
streaming down his face. “Why are you crying?” asked his disciples. “If
God asks me why I wasn’t like Moses or Maimonides,” answered Reb Zusha,
