Hey, this is cool. I remember a while back someone posting a comment about how his friend started a business making jellyfish aquariums. Is this the same guy? If so, CONGRATS!

Yes, Alex Andon started http://www.jellyfishart.com. They met the NYTimes reporter at an event called LaidOffCamp in San Fran.

The other company is http://www.30words.net. Send any comments/suggestions about either website my way.

Unfortunately I was at a YC Dinner the night the NYTimes came over so we didn't get a plug. :(

Nice writeup, including tips on how to avoid liquefying your jellyfish:

Wonderful news! Especially for the jellyfish. (Hungry programmer + tanks full of captive jellyfish + willingness to entertain thought of slightly-more-adventurous-than-usual Asian cuisine to avoid starvation = pass me the soy sauce, please)
