I&#8217;m reading what alpha females write also. Anyway, reading Paul Graham&#8217;s posts and R2D2 regurgitating them in a Just-In-Time fashion is a hobby of mine.<\/p>\n<p>I had a team of ENGR 145 students code up a &#8220;Paul Graham\/Mark Cuban\/ Guy Kawasaki \/ Scott Rafer \/ Mark McCormack bit.ly link spitter-outer&#8221;. Yeah, they launched it at MobileBeat by VentureBeat and premiered it at TechCrunch August Capital&#8217;s Summer Party #8. It was called &#8220;Just-in-Time-CS-Major-CEO&#8221;. This year, students launch August 2.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the Paul Graham post that comes to mind is bit dot ly, slash pgraham, eight, one, oh (no space). It links to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulgraham.com\/founders.html\" >https:\/\/www.paulgraham.com\/founders.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Think trying to &#8216;crash&#8217; demo day on Tuesday is hard, stressful, barriered, obstacled and detour-ridden?! Try crashing an industry with whatever three-quarters baked product you have got.<\/p>\n<p>That is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle in the fact tuition to your Alma Mater cost more than their house and you have a douchie road to hoe. No worries, my CS major CEO friends&#8230; read my GigaOm post on man-charming. If you&#8217;re female, read my blog posts on female-to-female charming over at Women 2.0. Yes, I blog as a woman \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Just like when &#8216;the Oracle&#8217; gave Kaunu Reeves seemingly bad news in &#8220;The Matrix&#8221;, my bad news I deal with myself. Im my own oracle. This isn&#8217;t a &#8220;let&#8217;s break eggs to make omelets&#8221; pattern. I do not break relationships. And there is not omelet.<\/p>\n<p>This is an exercise where I experience and address personal failure. This is me eating my own dog food that I dish out in WTDTYASBS. It is my chapter 11. Failing forward.<\/p>\n<p>I dared to publish Kris Krug&#8217;s picture of my friend Anna&#8217;s va-Jay-Jay when it popped out during MBFW. Her heel broke. It was in a post called &#8220;What a SuperModel Can Teach a Stanford MBA About Failure&#8221;. I think I&#8217;ll google that to read and re-read while I&#8217;m at the 7-11 on 1390 Pear Avenue across from the Computer History Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Text me where the afterparty dinners are?? I&#8217;m at 650-283-8008 and at the default Evvia. Look for me at the big boy table.
