Economic Hardship = hidden gem boom?
3 Sep 2008In today’s Wall Street Journal, just below the fold, lives a story about the state of the market for movies. The gist: too many movies, too few distributors. 600 feature films were released last year, up from 466 in 2002. Yet economic woes make investing in a motion picture quite unattractive, and hence demand outstripping [...]
I saw an article on TechCrunch today about an interested start-up called Snooth. It essentially a very comprehensive Web 2.0 database of wines. While I cannot claim myself to be a wine connoisseur, I admit that I stuck around for a while just browsing the selections and seeing what I can do. It turns out [...]
How to Start a Startup

The author, Paul Graham, ran a successful enterprise software startup in the 90s which he subsequently sold for millions. In 2005 he wrote “How to Start a Startup” to chronicle his success and philosophy on entrepreneurship; since [...]
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Find a movie
25 Oct 2007Find a movie: simple, sweet, seemingly easy to do and yet we’ve all been to blockbuster or shown up at the theater and looked at the rows and rows of movies and blankly wondered which one to choose. And so you think about the marketing you’ve seen, how you liked an actor in one movie [...]
Inspiration
22 Oct 2007A colleague in the venture business recently sent me a quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred [...]
I get distracted by code, and we have a new idea
14 Oct 2007I was actually going to write this yesterday, but I somehow ended up coding instead of blogging. This happens a lot, and not just with this project. Most of the time, I procrastinate by coding. It’s awesome because I get a lot accomplished this way, but also not so great because (as you might expect [...]
