Flying Biscuit rocks

November 11th, 2007 · No Comments

I just have to get that out of the way.  Our breakfast today is biscuits with egg, cheese, turkey bacon, chicken sausage, and some kind of tasty sauce.  I remember Flying Biscuit from a trip here more than 10 years ago — it was that good, although the atmosphere doesn’t hurt either.  Great way to [...]

hanging with the PR/Marketing Crowd

November 10th, 2007 · No Comments

They’re starting a blog. They need blog entries. I’m blogging StartupWeekend, but I’ll help out with the Skribit blog. That is, if I can ever get access. There’s BaseCamp and the WordPress blog, so it’s not that simple.

Beer Run

November 10th, 2007 · 1 Comment

6:00 meeting

November 10th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Lance: come see the important legal forms you have to sign.
Jason: mini-rant (but he’s probably right): Ideally, we need one person from each of the other groups — everything keeps changing, we’re going nowhere (product dev guy says “it’s happening.”) There is still a lot of stuff that has to get [...]

communication problems: real or no?

November 10th, 2007 · No Comments

It’s hard in this setting to figure out what is part of the usual chaos, vs. what constitutes…a Problem. Everyone has a different threshold for determining that, it seems. We just keep trying to work through it until the answer is apparent.

running tally on Andrew’s gum consumption

November 10th, 2007 · No Comments

six pieces in five minutes.
There’s a huge DubbleBubble pail, so I’m sure he’s not the only one who’s afflicted/addicted.
