on: Apply with Me for YC winter '12
I would, but I'm not in the hardware space. Having said that, why look for a founder at this stage of the game. You always see YC entrants after the fact "seeking additional cofounder" etc. There was an article flouting around very recently about this very topic, e.g - Applying as a solo founder, finding a founder. The author suggests and I tend to agree, focus on product, not revenue, not finding a founder until a certain set of criteria are met. Choosing the wrong founder can kill and idea faster than you think, at least that was the ultimate argument. Calculating the risk of not getting "in" as a solo founder isn't bad either. I wish I could point you to the article, but best of luck.

Call me old school, but this is called college. I already lived through this once. Although good times, I don't like smelling like week old laundry.

on: Instructure Launches To Root Blackboard Out Of Universities
LMS = Learning Management System
Blackboard hurts Universities because it's overly expensive and unintuitive for the price.
This new site looks great. I worked on http://moodle.org/ back in the day which is a great opensource alternative. It's now deployed in most if not all California State Universities. This is a great space to work in.

I'm so impressed with the level of personal projects on YC right now, I don't remember a time when it's been better. I hope my project meets the standard you're setting.
Hats off, i'm inspired.

Can you talk about what you did, the process from day 0 to now. I'd be interested in what you learned if anything.
This looks so awesome, but I'm not your market. I'll post this on my buildings HOA board.

on: Sugar: The Bitter Truth (UCSF lecture)
If you want the jist of this lecture, around 1:15:00 is a good place to start, he rants about Gatorade and McD's. Otherwise, it's O-Chem(?) up to that point. Very interesting stuff. Less Fructose, more Fiber. Less Frankenburgers, more Fruits.

on: Working for startups sucks, you'll be happier working for The Man
Full agree. Large companies are great if you have a familiy, not if you've something to prove.
