taking ella up for an afternoon at Alta. I say we’re going to work on her misty 9s. she says we’re going to work on her snowplow.
dowloading the free iHandy Level app for some projects around the house. wouldn’t have seen that as a market the iPhone could disrupt too.
RT @zachklein: OH: “Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers to identify their corporate sponsors.”
in true swiss army knife fashion my iPhone proved to be a more than serviceable scanner for last nights signature pages.
printing and signing a termsheet. now I just need to find my fax machine, which should be with my discman and saved by the bell posters.
traffic so bad between OAK and the office my laptop battery died. that’s never happened before. can we bring back expensive gas please?
going to test the theory that the best way to experience Reno is from behind the closed doors of a windowless airport hotel meeting room.
playing 4 square with my kids. the number of rules growing exponentially with each new game. gotta be a VC metaphor in this somewhere.

“You don’t get lucky sitting in your basement watching DVDs. You get lucky by...”
– One of many memorable quotes from the founder of GitHub, Chris Wanstrath. His keynote at Startup Riot hits on processing failure, finding your passion, seizing opportunity and sales driven by delighted customers. Its a great story told well and definitely worth a read.
WatchOne of my favorite ski movie makers, Kris Ostness, worked his magic for Atomic this year. In classic Kris style he combines a bunch of crazy features, unique angles and trippy tunes to make a great 20 minutes of action. Most of it is filmed in my backyard of Utah and some in the Sierras. Whether you ski or just dig art house-type imagery, its definitely worth a watch.
today @kallij won her 5th grade science fair. so we have a Brain. now we need an Athlete, Princess, BasketCase and Criminal (name the movie)
my downstairs neighbors aren’t nearly as impressed with my ability to kickflip a truckless skateboard deck as I am

shhh, don’t tell @amr that in an hour I’m surprising her with a trip to Vegas for our 13th wedding anniversary.
Ella pretends to be a boy by spitting, bumping knuckles and saying DUDE! over and over. no idea from whence she draws her inspiration.
on any other day seeing a blindfolded woman being driven through town would have me calling the cops. today, it seems kinda romantic.
Ella: dad, check this out. Me: can’t., gotta keep my eyeson the road…and my iPhone.
I always get the munchies driving through Toquerville, Utah.
interesting that twitter and friendfeed now share a board member. wonder how long before twitter feeds on that friend…
78% of first time entrepreneurs fail, you don’t need Sequoia to succeed and other interesting start-up tidbits from HBS: http://bit.ly/uTGkD
