Founders at Work - Home:

Floris suggests that we all read this book... hummm, looks pretty interesting what do you think?
please leave a comment on the blog!


"Founders at Work is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company."

TEDTalks as of 10.26.09 - Google Docs

TEDTalks as of 10.26.09 - Google Docs

you know I like Ted talks... (TED.com) the maximum length is about 20 minutes but most are shorter....

here you have over 500 tedtalks sorted by shortest first.
they start at around 3 minutes.

Hint: you can use your browser search function to search by keyword.... eg "music" (but since you have only 250 on the first page you have to go to "next" to search the second set of 250 tedtalks...)

hope this helps!

I'm in F900 most of next week working with an athens course...

You're all invited to hear Patrick's presentation about photography... Monday at 5:15 pm in F900!
Hope to see you there!

Ian's working on optical illusions... does anyone know any great sites?
