FinTech: I Am Loving The Term

Chris. I want you to come in at 50K. This offer does not come with a Board seat, obviously. But maybe Fred Wilson will keep a good watch over your money as well, don't you think?

You are my favorite Super Angel. You are right up there with Caterina Fake. I have been reading about Super Angels for months now. There is a part of me that wants to know what they are all about, and hence the offer.

Hola Charlie, A 50K Opportunity

Fred, How About Some Money?

Charlie, here's what I believe an opportunity of a lifetime for you and your firm. This is First Round Capital's chance to step into FinTech.

FinTech: I Am Loving The Term

This is not the first time I am feeling like Fred Wilson stole my idea.

What Got Me Started With FoodSpotting

It was this comment by Amy. This comment is what got me started with FoodSpotting. I felt compelled to respond to the comment, and the only way you could leave a comment was by creating an account, which was easy to do, took less than 10 seconds, and next thing you know I am on FoodSpotting.

But once I got my account I spent over an hour creating my profile, uploading a picture, browsing around. I discovered I really like dumplings. I can already see why FoodSpotting would make for an intense eating experience.

I have ready many blog posts by Chris Dixon, and the content of most of them have been super, but the title of this blog post stands out. This is the best title to a Chris Dixon blog post yet of all I have read yet. It is bold, it is obvious. There is no beating around the bush. It is simple. Simple enough that makes you feel as to why you yourself did not push out that blog post title. You could have had it to your name.

This is Chris Dixon's best blog post of all I have ever read, and I have read a few.

General Assembly: Singing Praises

Charlie O'Donnell tricked me into it. After the snowball fight ended, he lead a group of us to the General Assembly. I had never heard of the place before.

"Is this your office, Charlie?" I asked.

Pretending To Be Dead

On Saturday I went for a four hour plus walk in the blizzard. It was tremendous fun. I was pretty aimless in where I was going. So far so good. Then I got back and drank some water that was colder than it needed to be. That precipitated a cold.

Turmeric powder works. Garlic works. Ginger works. Tylenol works.
