My goal with this blog

I write about relevant changes in the way that people use the web and how startups are built to provide services and products for this ever changing wonderful thing we still know as "the web." As a former entrepreneur turned early-stage investor, my greatest hope is for this to be useful to other folks that are like me in the hopes that they can avoid some of the mistakes I've made.

Charlie Rose and Bill Gates

At the other end of the spectrum from banal iFart applications, Charlie Rose has a great 1 hour interview with Bill Gates on subjects as broad Microsoft's battle in search and his foundation's work in eradicating polio.

I love Charlie Rose not because he is a hard hitting interviewer, but because he is smart and egoless and can get just about anyone to open up. This is a great skill to have with someone like Gates who can be prickly and automaton-like in interviews, but who nonetheless has a lot of worthwhile things to say.
