I had a blast last year serving as a mentor to TechStars, and oddly enough they’ve asked me back. If you’re a start-up looking for some seed capital, mentorship from some really remarkable entrepreneurs, tech execs and VCs, and wouldn’t mind spending a summer in either Boulder, CO or Boston, you need to submit an…

This is pretty cool (as originally seen in @CThilk’s shared items on Google Reader, which pointed to Neville Hobson’s cool coffee mug): Get your twitter mosaic here.

A couple years ago, Michael Lewis visited Google to talk about his new book The Blind Side. At 50:59, Lewis started talking about the Houston Rockets, and their then-new GM Darell Morey. In particular, Lewis was intrigued by the fact that the Rockets had orchestrated a big trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, and the central…

A somewhat-overdue update to the site template. I swapped out the clipart image in the title bar for an image I took at Yosemite in 2007 – it remains one of my favorites. I changed the AdSense ad units a bit both to try and optimize their sizes as well as to modify the color…

I’m looking forward to reading Jeff Jarvis’s new book, What Would Google Do? I’ve enjoyed meeting Jeff at a few conferences, and the excerpts he’s been posting on his site have demonstrated he’s got a good outsider’s perspective on how Google approaches opportunities. He’s going to be at Google HQ next week, which should make…

I finally succumbed and wrote up my “25 things” note in Facebook. Seemed like a few of you might enjoy the list (and by enjoy, obviously I mean ridicule me endlessly): 1. My first concert was Huey Lewis and the News.2. I’ve lived at 23 addresses in 7 states and 2 countries. I’ve lived in…

Lots of posts this week about claims that Blogger is removing blog posts without giving users any notice. From LA Weekly: Google, the bloggers believe, has quietly changed the methods by which it enforces its user agreement. Whereas in the past, a blog owner would receive a warning before a post’s removal, Google is now…
