I wondered when this was going to happen. As distribution of early news gets more wide spread (from the two big papers in town to all uhhh hundred million bloggers), I could see the holes appearing in the dyke. Tech Crunch has posted their new policy which is that they’ll agree to any embargoe you [...]
If anybody knows who built this, please let me know so that I can attribute it properly…

I love this article from Venture Hacks.
I started my career thinking that I needed to heed all of the advice of my mentors. I soon realized their fallibility. Sometimes the advice was right but the timing was wrong. Or the timing was right but the advice was incorrect for the situation.
I eventually came [...]
Javier, thank you for recognizing businesses like Mr. Gianforte’s that are “return leaders“.
