Make sure you go your an annual check up. Figure out how to get some exercise. And pay attention to the warning signs.
Worst part for me was the 8 hours waiting for troponin levels. Well and the angiogram/pasty/stent.

But we should put them in inflatable sumo suits for cushioning. Maybe a helmet.

I like the idea of putting founders into a cyclotron, accelerating them to near the speed of light, and seeing what kind of energy they release when they collide with other founders.

Looks very interesting. Similar but with additional widgets that aren't in TogetherJS. Interesting to use eventing model and tie it more directly to lead scoring and qualification.

I'm reminded of Andrew Chen's post on Facebook DAU/MAU number http://andrewchen.co/2012/05/16/quora-has-facebooks-daumau-a...
Part of the reason that email is so sticky is that it has an incredibly high DAU.
