7/27    We are really in a bubble:
        http://steveblank.com/2011/03/18/new-rules-for-the-new-bubble
        \_ "it’s the beginning of another bubble" according to this
           Stanfurd guy. I like how he puts real profits in quotes, like
           this:
                And unlike the last bubble, this bubble’s first wave of IPO’s

12/2    Help. I've had several jobs and none of them seem to give me
        a good work-and-life balance. While this didn't matter when
        I was young, I'm beginning to realize that I'm reaching an age
        where I really need that balance. What is your workplace like,
        and how do you reach a good work-and-life balance? P.S. I
        don't need tom^H^H^Hgov workers to gloat about cushy gov jobs.

7/19    http://jott.com is REALLY REALLY cool. You can use your phone and

        This is a cool startup. Also they're hiring.

1/8     I'm in a weird situation. I've been in my company for a while and
        we acquired a startup company a while ago. Now my group is being
        "migrated" into their group, and I'll be reporting to a bunch of
        young managers and directors some who are 10-15 years younger
        than me. These guys are great-- they're energetic and bright but
        some are also egotistic and boss people around. Mind you

8/12    Any bets on the low that GOOG stock will hit within one week of when
        the share price is set?  I say $80!  ("The company currently estimates
        its initial stock to be worth between $108 and $135 a share.")
        Within 6 months?  I say $30!
        \_ GOOG is a free profitable lesson in shorting

4/27    There are all kinds of rumours about Google doing an IPO this
        week.  My question, how does a little guy like me get a piece of
        the action, and is it worth it?
        \_ As a general rule, if little guys are getting a piece of the
           action, it's not worth it.  -tom
        \_ If you know so little about how IPOs work such as silent periods,

8/13    Have you sold your Redhat IPO shares yet?
        \_ You can use the money to buy ASWX ... there is a company with
           actual revenue in the IPOs of this week.  Big upside potential
           if you aren't a day-trading moron and can hold the stock.
        \_ yes, at $89. thanks much.
