Lately I’ve been getting some blog comments and Skribit “suggestions” from an anonymous visitor. Let’s just say the comments haven’t been terribly “engaging” – some of them have actually been quite nasty. And look, I’ll be the first to admit this – I cuss like a sailor (well, a former soldier), and believe me, I …
I dropped a tweet on this earlier today, but thought I’d drop a quick note here on the blog as well – especially since I’ve been incredibly lazy about blogging lately. Well, incredibly too busy to blog, actually, but … A while back, I was approached by a team of entrepreneurs here in Atlanta who …
If you are seeking early-stage capital in Georgia, and haven’t heard about this by now, you should check out what Sanjay Parekh, David Cummings, Allen Graber, Suleman Ali, Wayt King, and David Wright are doing with Shotput Ventures. You can read more about it on their web site, but basically it is a clone (or …
The folks at TAG asked me to help get the word out on their new entrepreneurial survey. Details and link below! Cheers.

From the legend of the delta blues guitarist Tommy Johnson (no, not Robert Johnson, as some believe), who …
I had a fun lunch with Drew Ermenc from Catalyst Magazine last week. Our office is actually upstairs from theirs, so it was pretty convenient. Among the many things we talked about was the status of “rockstar entrepreneurs” here in Atlanta. Specifically, they are working on some events for later in the year, and were …
I foresaw it a year ago. Stephen Fleming eloquently described it today. Lance Weatherby posted a nice rundown, too. Ashish Mistry piled on as well. Former Earthlink PR exec now turned media blogger, Dan Greenfield, wrote a nice bit as well. I was unable to attend Startup Riot as I came down with a nasty …
The event formerly known as “Capital Connections”, and now simply referred to as “Capital Lounge” will be held on the evening of May 21st, 2008, from 5:30 to 9:30pm (location made available to you once you’ve been approved to attend). This should be another fantastic event, especially as we will be infusing a new wave …
