4/27    Dot com failure means:
        more Asians in CS:
        less Asians in CS:      ...
        more Asians in EE:      .
        less Whites day trading: .
        \_ Number-wise or percentage-wise?
        \_ Nothing.  Dotcoms have been failing at the same rate since the
           beginning.  The only difference is that now there's no more easy
           money to start a new one.  Don't buy the hype.  Even in the dotcom
           hey day, 9 in 10 never even got close to going public.  I hope it
           really means the press will go away and let small companies do their
           thing without the insane pressure to grow big and public in 6 months
           or less so maybe some quality people working on quality ideas can
           actually make quality products people with money will want to buy,
           while all the content production SF freaks and losers who should've
           gone into insurance company middle management will just die and stop
           pretending to be VP of <Insert_Fuzzy_Thing_Here>.
                            \_ Our company had a VP of Customer Satisfaction.
                               Guess who got downsized first?
                               \_ the customers?
        \_ fewer, you idiot.
        \_ fewer, not less you idiot.

4/9     Instagram got bought for 1B dollars. Are you shitting me?
        \_ What's $1B / 13 employees? ...yeah, my calculator just keeps
           spitting out FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
           \_ I'm sure there are VC's who will get much bigger chunks than the
              employees.  But yeah, the employees' chunks should still be huge.
              \_ Founder supposedly still has 40%. FB is throwing money around.

           \_ Wow I can't believe this information is public. It makes me

        http://www.joyent.com/developers/facebook
        \_ This sounds interesting.  If anyone uses it, I'd be curious to hear
           about your experience, particularly if you can compare and contrast
           to Amazon's S3/E2C services.  Also, if you're an indie app

11/1    Intelligient writeup of Google's OpenSocial platform by Marc
        Andreesen: http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/10/open-social-a-n.html
        I got a chance to start working with OpenSocial before the public
        release as part of my job at Slide, and it's been a pleasure to work
        with.  If you're looking for an interesting new platform to hack on,
        I'd suggest giving OpenSocial a look.  Incidentally, Slide is hiring.

10/19   Ok it's REALLY time to short GOOG   -not the original short guy
        \_ On 10/19 (when you wanted to short GOOG), GOOG's stock price
           was 420.23 at the start of that day.  It closed on 10/19 at
           426.06.  It opened on 10/20 at 458.99.  Closed on 10/20 at
