• Take the day off? Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:16:13
  Subtitled: To the slackers go the spoils One of last years’ TechStars was in Sidney’s today, and he callously remarked that the companies who took the day before investor day off last year were the ones who raised money.  It made me think a little, but it makes perfect sense.  If you’re serious about making sure [...]
• The right tool makes all the difference Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:30:27
  You’ve been there.  We all have.  We’ve all tried to make the round peg fit into the square hole.  Only this time I’m not referring to it figuratively.  I mean we’ve all literally tried to make the round peg fit.  It didn’t fit, so we tried to jam it.  Occasionally it actually works out:  “Who [...]

• The Filly Class (I know it’s not a race) Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:43:25
  Some of the TechStars 2008 companies are amazing. All of them are interesting. Because we’re almost at the end of the TechStars program, we’ve been talking a lot about what we’ve gotten out of it, what we learned, and where we fell short or would have done things differently if there was a do-over. We’ve [...]

• Gym Quest – Part 1 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:15:14
  All of us want to be in shape. We want to be healthy, have energy and still fit into the jeans that were hip during our heyday. To reach that personal utopia, we may need to join a gym… and that can be scary territory for the novice gym-goer. Visions of perfect Muscle and Fitness [...]
• But The Box Says Zero Trans Fat Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:37:17
  Trans fat is back in the news due to the announcement last month that California is the first state to ban trans fat from restaurants beginning in 2010. As a quick primer, trans fats are vegetable fats that have been chemically altered by a process called hydrogenation. The process of hydrogenation involves adding hydrogen to liquid unsaturated [...]

Foodzie

• Foodzie Interview with Colorado Biz Magazine Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:57:06
  Rob and I sat down with Rebecca Cole from Colorado Biz Magazine a little earlier in the summer and chatted a bit about Foodzie. I have to admit, I am definitely still a rookie at the whole video thing. I was supposed to keep my eyes glued to Rebecca, but you can tell I occasionally [...]

• Looking for your first CS job? Be sure to own your ideas Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:48:21
  During my search for my first “real” computer science job during my senior year of college, I compared a lot of factors for various jobs including city, company, project, salary, and benefits. The salary stuff was fun to think about (especially after four years of being a poor college student) and I was looking to [...]

• A whole new generation of online games - goodbye consoles! Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:06:37
  Ok, so video game consoles won’t be replaced for at least 5-10 years, as Gerhard Florin, EA, said incompatible consoles made life harder for developers and consumers in a recent BBC article, but there are some killer games in development and early release that you can already play in your browser. Whether you’re a casual [...]
