  • Why does @stumbleupon's URL shortener suck so much? Every time I click on http://su.pr links it takes forever or doesn't work at all. #FAIL. #
  • Gonna have to reconsider using Peet's Coffee as my Conference Room C. Always stink of burnt coffee when I return and have to change clothes! #
  • So pleased to hear that a company I was considering investing in made a successful early exit. Absolutely the right decision and great job! #
  • Town and Country Village in Palo Alto seems to be a rocking place on Saturday morning. Hardly any parking spots available! #

  • A healthy skepticism is good for startup founders, but have confidence in yourself, aim high & don't be afraid to fail. #
