2009 Resolutions for the New Year
kortina: … Devote more time to girls In 2008, I spent a lot of time networking with business / industry folks (feels like 90% dudes). In 2009, I need to take a break from drinking scotch with tech buddies to meet some of the lovely women of NYC. … So now I know the only resolution Kortina and I share.

gbattle: Aaron Cohen’s response to Fred Wilson’s post.  Below is my humble reply. 7.  Move GM out of Detroit? No, move GM out of the country.  GM should be run like Nike, which is a US based marketing company that exports production to the cheapest producers.  The American future is about owning brands, not PP&E (power, plant and equipment).  It’s far beyond a psychological - it’s physical,...

NY Tech President Speeches in 5 Seconds or Less
jschwa: Today is voting day for Meetups NY Tech President! Vote! In case you missed the speeches Tuesday (given the attendance I know that you did) here is my summary of each taken completely out of context, mostly made up, and focused completely on the irrelevant.  I admire all the candiates for stepping forward. This is meant in good fun and in the hopes that it may peak your interest...

The New York Tech Meetup Election
tonybgoode: = Background === Scott Heiferman deserves to be commended for his contributions to the New York startup scene. For starters, he did one of the best things anyone could do to help NYC’s image as a startup-freindly city: he built a successful startup here himself. Not just a successful startup, but a great startup focused on making the world a better place. A startup whose central...

Control Freaks
fromedome: Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux, one of my childhood heroes, retired today after 23 seasons, including nine and a half with the Cubs. Maddux, no. 13 on the all-time innings pitched list, was a control freak: He walked only 999 batters in 5008 1/3 innings. That’s an average 1.80 batters per nine innings pitched. The next closest whose career overlapped at least one season...

Roger, reminding me how change is made
Nate, i hear your points, but such concerns can’t deter me. If my ideas get stonewalled by the Obama Administration, that says something. But at the end of the day, I don’t really care if SOC in my mind’s eye gets enacted. What I really want is a voice and a method of oversight that mimics my ideas. If myself and people whom I believe are the best to serve in such a capacity get...

Do you have office space for 8 dudes in NYC?
