Well, what I really meant was that I grew up near you AND I went to Lawrenceville.

Rest assured, I was a proud student in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District system until 7th grade. Then I went to Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart and got felt up by nuns for a few years.

The good news for you is that WWP was like the only public school that scared us on the aforementioned field hockey field.

Oh, you mean with the interviews also in the beginning? That's something I'll have to write down and consider.

One of the real problems is that almost *all* of the people we interviewed were first timers - and none of them really felt (at the time) that their trip was anything really deep or effecting.

Which is pretty normal during your ride. But we really needed voices that understood how things began to sink in back home. So that was always an issue :P

Hey Hedge - thanks for the awesome comment. Yes, definitely, when I said interviews I just meant the things Amanda and I filmed during 64 Days - we're still hoping to collect many more Stockpile clips. We have a few ideas we like for integrating those into the film :)

Excellent, glad you like it!

Kevin and I have talked through a couple of possible extensions. The
idea that Charlie O'Donnell mentioned in the comment you were replying
to is the most obvious: we decided to go with a straight "most recent"
for replies initially, but having some slots set aside for "most
frequently replied to" is pretty straightforward and makes a lot of
sense.

You're dead on that it should be reasonable to allow person X to
create a list of the people that person Y is replying to, since the
tweetstream is public anyway. It's less efficient in theory than just
having person X create the list themselves, but people don't always do
what you want them to. :-)

Kevin actually built something that may fit what you want for the link-
focused tweets: http://timelylinks.com. Does some nice stuff like
calling out links that have been tweeted by more than one of the
people that you follow, too.

The more customizable stuff (views filtered by number of times
favorited, topics, what have you) I think is really interesting, but
I'm still wrapping my head around some of the simpler possibilities
right now. :-)

No particular reasoning behind daily updates for the lists, just an arbitrary unit. In the grand scheme of things, I think you're right: the shorter the refresh interval, the better...we could start calling it "constant context" or something. :-)

It sounds like the idea started some wheels turning in your head, though, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, your occasional sobriety is officially on the record, as is yet
another "awesome work on the quick!" from me. :-)

Thanks for checking in, Michael.

Of course we are aware of the importance that's why we choose to improve the performance before releasing any new features. I've just updated the blog post with some good news (see second Update).

'Sorry' never was an option for us and we've outlined the different areas in which we've been working on very hard in the last days.

Still giggling myself. That could also be called "not pulling a Vaynerchuck"

as someone who isn't likely to ever get to bed at a decent hour, i still feel a slight sense of relief at the drama being over -- at least for now.

and i also know those people who seem to actually get angry at the idea of treating a game as, well, a game rather than a life-or-death struggle between good and evil. i mean, i really enjoy the storylines of a great sporting matchup, which is probably why i enjoy sports so much, but in the end, i can't see myself every lining up to jump off the Walt Whitman over any of it.

and since you mentioned writing something longer than a comment on the subject of franchises and their people, i'll be looking forward to it ;)

Haha, nothing personal...really! I'll still check your blog, just not at
work. I'm already paranoid to be looking at the dash where I work...the
naked girls don't help. Haha. Everybody's so quick to distance themselves
from Maxim! Funny.

Re: on suckiness

jamsie — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:04:50 -0000

Hmm, I don't think you missed my point at all. I guess for me I'm just less
likely to sit down at the computer when I've got a lot going on, and I don't
feel compelled to write about the good things the same way I was to write
about the shittiness before. But I certainly see your point...and might
just have to frame this differently for myself!

Regardless, thanks for your thoughts!

Cool. I don't think it will cloud your tumblelog since you can select to only import the link with a short summary of the main post. But of course, that's your decision. We see most of the folks involved in VC/entrepreneurship on Tumblr also post personal stuff like music and pictures. Bijan and Fred actually post a song every day introducing the community to new bands/music.
I compiled a list of VC/entrepreneur tumblelogs a while ago:
http://david-noel.com/post/178997754/best-of-tu...

The setup is easy: On your Dashboard, find "Customize" in the right hand navigation. In the top menu, select "Services" where you can select "Automatically import my RSS feed as Link with summary", add your RSS feed, that's it.

it's true and it works. Just applied the "permission to connect" rule (I usually do), received permission, forwarded and now I'm out of the meeting scheduling.

Re: too cool for school

hwhall — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:36:41 -0000

i can relate to leafing through vintage journals and laughing (or cringing) at some of the ideas i once held to firmly -- though i suppose it would be a somewhat sad thing to hold all the same beliefs over that sort of timespan. in that way, i completely agree that we should never stop developing intellectually, so may your hope become reality.
