Now, I don't want to sound like a hopeless groupie or somesuch, but I don't know how else to say this... I love this guy!

Too often my hope of ever launching my own startup one day falters after attending yet another pointless big company Dilbertian meeting or when I give in and watch a stupid action movie from Netflix that I had watched at least twice before, rather than learning Rails. After those moments, I read one of PG's essays and I feel it is possible, I can do it.

Maybe I'll never launch, but just for giving me that hope for a short while, I love him.

Really? It's those mind-numbing, pointless time wasters that increase my drive to go out on my own! Bring on the meetings: it just increases motivation.

Maybe my startup should build a tool for better meetings :-)


You're right :-) But those meetings turn one's mind to mush, so it's hard (or at least I find it so) to concentrate on something at night.

If you can design an some software/hardware/toy that one can pass time discreetly during those meetings while pretending to listen, my friend, you'll have a huge market


iPhone buzzword bingo? :-)
