[Insert Hold Music Here]

My in box is impressively backed up due to filtering through a few hundred TechStars applications last week and now managing the next stage of our process (plus my other jobs!).

Please be patient if you’ve emailed me. I WILL get back to you – but it might take me as long as week for non-urgent (but still important!) messages.

Thanks!

Something Cool For Every Geek!

Go ahead and try to pick your favorite aspect of this video – I dare you! Is it that it’s an insane 11 (eleven) string bass? Perhaps the torzal twist neck? The fanned frets? Or simply the fact that this tapping deity is hauling ass on the Super Mario theme!? Enjoy!!!!

Airline Loyalty

I’m flight-shopping for an upcoming family vacation to the left coast.

While poking around Kayak, I was suddenly struck by my behavior pattern to eagerly seek out flights on JetBlue or VirginAmerica, and my behavior pattern to at-all-costs avoid craptastic airlines like United.

Seems to me that those ‘lesser’ airlines are toast. I’m willing to fly in to and out of non-ideal airports to fly on JetBlue or VirginAmerica over their competitors (never mind that JB and VA are usually cheaper too). I can’t imagine I’m the only person in the country behaving this way.

Kudos to JetBlue and VirginAmerica for running airlines people want to fly on! Shame on the other guys who just can’t get out of their own way — they deserve their fate.

UPDATE: VirginAtlantic FTW!
