Places I slept this past year:

San Francisco

Las Vegas
New York City
Lake Tahoe
Austin
Monte Rio (ca)
Dublin, Ireland
lots of airplanes

Surprised that the list is relatively small considering to how much I travelled. Most of trips were back and forth to nyc.

Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): Ohhai Pluto, we've recognized you as a thought leader in planets, wanna join our solar system?
Pluto: Wow, really? Where do I sign up????
Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): Just log in with your Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, InstaPlanet, etc accounts!
Pluto: WOW! I'm the luckiest meteor in the world!
Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): No...luckiest PLANET, now...thanks to us.
Pluto: WHOAH!

Two weeks later:
Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): Ohhai, Pluto...sorry, but you haven't tweeted much, so we're gonna have to take back that whole planet perk.
Pluto: WTF? There's a Disney dog named after me!
Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): Yeah that's because of us. Thanks for your support!
Pluto: But, but...who's replacing me?
Pout (Interplanetary Klout Scorification *TM*): @Scobleizer, his Pout score is 94.
Pluto: *cries*

“You ever think about how in, like, a Tom Hanks movie, everyone lives in a reality in which there’s no such person as Tom Hanks? Because otherwise, people would be mistaking the main character for Tom Hanks all the time? So either Tom Hanks doesn’t exist in the world the movie takes place in, or he does exist but he looks like someone else? I mean, you could have a character break the fourth wall and go ‘Aren’t you the guy from Cast Away? Hey, sign my volleyball!’ or whatever but you can’t really do that in a serious screenplay, so you’re pretty much stuck with that bare minimum level of willing-suspension-of-disbelief before you even get started, unless it’s a period drama or something. And the funny thing is the more famous your star is, the bigger the leap of faith you’re asking the viewer to take when no one in your narrative universe recognizes him, so in a way, paradoxically, great actors undermine their own credibility by their very presence—hey, are you even listening to me? What are you—oh, that’s just Bob. He’s made of bubbles.”

Alright, I am probably going to get an Ipad

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 09:26:17 -0700

It’s a little embarrassing to say this while living in San Francisco but I’ve never been a big fan of Apple. It’s the smugness in some of my friends in the way the way the talk about Apple and their products that always annoyed me. And while I appreciate Apple’s design aesthetic I never found it worth paying significantly more for. More than anything I’ve always hated how Apple tries to lock you into their various walled gardens of distribution. I am not a big Microsoft fan either but at least I feel like I can basically do what I want with the machine.

After years of avoiding the ipod, Macbook and iphone I think I am finally going to cave and purchase an Ipad. I think there is a decent chance that the Ipad turns out to be a revolutionary tool and I want to be there from the beginning (even though I know I am going to feel ripped off when a better version comes out a few months later).

I am really looking forward to playing with the Ipad while laying in bed or watching TV. These are two areas that I find to be particularly uncomfortable to consume media with a laptop. I think the Ipad is going to change the way we watch and interact with the TV.

I am curious to see how the Ipad changes the way we consume and interact with music. A year from now I imagine every DJ rocking two Ipads and a microphone. I am betting we’ll see the porn industry pave the way with how websites interact with the Ipad. I think there are huge opportunities around using the Ipad as a way to describe complex decisions. Imagine you are at the mechanic and they tell you you something is wrong with your carburetor. I would love them to pass me an Ipad that had a video description of what the issue is and what my options are. It would even be easy for me to research what they are saying. I could then make an informed decision before leaving the shop without feeling pressured.

I have big hopes for the Ipad and it will be interesting to see if it turns out to be a gateway drug for me to become fully indoctrinated into the cult of Apple.

The panic and pleasure of that first paycheck

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:07:44 -0800

Last Friday I received my first ever paycheck from Klout. After almost 18 months living out of my savings as we bootstrapped this company it was an exciting day. We have investors now, a real office and employees. We are officially a “real” company. After watching my bank account dwindle down to near zero it couldn’t have come soon enough.

While it’s awesome to see my personal bank account balance go up it’s terrifying to see our corporate balance drop. This is all in the financial model so this isn’t a surprise but I still don’t like it. I like watching numbers go up and now I need to find the right balance between exploring revenue opportunities and continuing to scale our our platform for the future.

Board Meeting 101 Slideshow (click above to link to it)

No list of “do’s and don’ts” rather a board meeting template that i more or less use. i get asked a lot by folks for tips on how to put together a board deck so i figured i’d share one

Why should you care?

- experience - 10 years of startups x 10 board meetings per year = 100 board meetings with 8 or so world class vc’s

p.s. it’s early stage friendly

p.p.s - i’m sure i forgot tons of stuff

oh yeah, and if anyone knows how to embed a slideshare show in tumblr i’m all ears…grrr

Love it.
