The past 6 weeks. They’ve been… something. Remixing the work of others, here’s a glimpse of what’s taking up my brain cycles.

“Her kiss was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering”

“the potential success of any Internet venture, particularly for thoseheavily reliant on the development of an online community of activeparticipants, is directly correlated with the concept’s ability tocreate a large and dominant Fat Belly”

“Globalization creates wealth at the cost of the social, the cultural, and the human. 2.0 creates wealth by amplifying the social, the cultural, and the human. For the next wave of entrepreneurs, this will be the market gap where profits are to be discovered.” And may bring the greatest change to parts of the world that need it most.

“I’m not sure what got me to the top of Heartbreak Hill.

I don’t really remember it.”

Web 2.0 is not about technology, it’s about people.”

Actually, Web 2.0 / business / … life is all about the people. I learned that from my friend Gary.

“There is no better path, only the one we’re on” Mark learned that from his friend Tom. “A lightbulb bruns out. Does its energy go somewhere else or its just expended and ceases?”

To all the Toms and Garys – we miss you.

I believe that tremendous value (social / $) lies in widgets that build community. (those problem sets in school were so far ahead of their time – widget producers galore!)

So, full speed ahead (with one eye to the past and one on the compass). But remember…

“There is no better path, only the one we’re on“
