Well put.

My life does not need any re evaluation of any sort. I am an entrepreneur as well, and like all other entrepreneurs making money does not drive me, rather the creation of something from nothing is what really motivates me.

That being said, an acquisition from a large company would provide some third party validation, that I am sure many others creating something from nothing, crave.

Why am I jealous? I am jealous because I would love to start a company then sell it in two years for 30 million. Very simple.. Never said anything about defining personal success.

Thanks.. that was my thinking, often larger companies have paid board seats, was wondering if it was the same with start ups.

Thanks!

Thank god a post like this was brought up. This incident in CT has undoubtedly brought up a national debate about gun control, but I hope to God it sparks a debate about mental illness, the real cause behind all of these mass shootings.

Hoboken NJ was one of the hardest hit areas during Hurricane Sandy and needs help from the HN community. Hoboken has a small, but yet passionate group of tech entrepreneurs emerging from it's mile square radius and we want to help our surrounding neighbors get back on their feet. Please help anyway you can. Heal Hoboken!

He also lost me at poker. A lot of us entrepreneur types love poker because we just love risk, IMO. To say that you can comfortable make 85k a year playing poker is the most outlandish statement I've ever heard.

I also hate how people try and tell me poker is a skill. Yes to a degree it is, but it's more luck than anything once you understand the game, let's be real.

Seemed like a good blog post until he became delusional about poker.

What is the huge value added over traditional radio? That it's not FM? In terms of quality you mean? I thought when it first came out that their big pitch was no ads. But don't get me wrong, I also think satellite radio is better because of programming, sound quality, AND no ads.

Although I think they are running ads in some markets... Guess they couldn't survive on the no ads model and are going hybrid?

Think of it like FM radio. It's free for us to listen but we have to sit through advertisements. XM and sirius said hey, let's have people pay to listen, so don't have to make them sit through ads. Basically just a different biz model. That model can work though because you don't necessarily need critical mass to have people consume your content. (Yes to a certain extent you do) But the critical mass needed for the next twitter like platform would require a huge critical mass for people to continue to pay for the service. Just my stupid opinion
