Officiallyrad: Getting a story + photo in the New York Times

It almost felt like gang warfare, the nerdiest gang warfare ever, but still, gang warfare.
A choice quote by me in the New York Times Today.  Check out the rest of the article online (In Tech, Starting Up By Failing) or better go buy a copy and frame it on your wall.

What do I get

I used the privilege of MTV to go to a lot of Saturday Night Live shows. I was dating Chris Farley and I was crazy about him. One time we were going to the Museum of Natural History to watch a shark movie. I was starstruck that I was on a date with him. It’s snowing like crazy, we were cutting through Central Park, and Chris kept falling. He kicked my feet from underneath me, and I did a face plant in the snow. We get up, we laugh. We get to the museum and everyone’s looking at me. I’m thinking it’s because I’m on a date with Chris. Then I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and all my makeup had run down my face, like Alice Cooper. I’m like, “Dude, why didn’t you tell me?” And he’s like, “I wanted you to look ugly so nobody else would go out with you.”

He jilted me for the most beautiful girl in the world, Laura Bagley. But every night I went out with Chris, he had women throw themselves at him. I don’t know any man that could scoop the poozle like Chris Farley.

Realize that a startup puts you on an emotional roller-coaster unlike anything you have ever experienced. You will flip rapidly from a day in which you are euphorically convinced you are going to own the world, to a day in which doom seems only weeks away and you feel completely ruined, and back again. Over and over and over.
