Must...resist...from spending my entire lunch looking at all the videos and wikis.

It's a lot of fun watching a child learn how to interface with a touchscreen for the first time. Even better to see them interact with something like a flatscreen tv or a toy feature phone after they understand how a touchscreen works.

When my son was 3 he was very frustrated with my tv since he couldn't swipe through channels.

From Brad Feld regarding contractors (see #3):

1. Shut down everything including taking all the existing sites offline.

2. Set a new launch date of July 14, 2014.

3. Fire all of the contractors.

4. Hire Harper Reed as CTO of Healthcare.gov, give him the ball and 100% of the budget, and let him run with it.

Isn't founder/co-founder a good enough indication that you do everything? and if its not implicit enough maybe I can just make my title CXO to get the point across :)

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Pres. Obama deported more immigrants his first term than Bush.

for the original post: there's not much more i can add other than what others are saying worked for me, too. Got sick of fundraising, moved to marketing. Got burned out of marketing, took up a side project (print-only diy zine) and then i discovered the startup scene and my love for marketing came back. im still at the same organization and love it.

for @hluska: im 27 but as of last year started experiencing the "aging is weird" phenomenon.

btw, i listened to kriss kross in 3rd grade, in high school became a straight-edge 70s revivalist (only listened to zeppelin, sabbath, doors and other typical gateway artists). oddly enough, i then went post-punk and partied my brains out. i love business and the startup community but still love dk, misfits, screamers (and canada had a killer music/movie scene in the 80s!)
