I’m planning on going to a Tech Coast Angels mixer tomorrow and the topic for me is whether there is angel funding out there for startups that don’t meet classic VC models. If there are, then who are they, what are the criteria, what does it typically look like? By way of background for the question, there’s a great post by Bob Aholt, a Pasadena Angel: An Angel Investor’s Thoughts on Valuation.

Denise Baril , inspired by the Replicate Yourself/Pay It Forward message in Greater Than Yourself , issued a challenge to herself and others to strive to make a difference every day for a month. Well, it’s not entirely true that she was inspired by the words in my book. It was her boyfriend, Dan, that was the real inspiration. Here’s Denise’s account: “ My partner Dan, who is quiet and reserved by nature, was living this [Greater Than Yourself] principle in secret.

I’m seeing and hearing that it’s becoming tough finding good developers again, at least here in Los Angeles. On Friday, at the LA CTO Forum , I heard from a couple of CTOs having trouble finding good developers. My company, TechEmpower , recently added a few top notch developers, but it wasn’t easy to find just the right people. And it’s not just me, Ben Kuo just posted - Good news for developers (and jobs) We’ve been talking with a lot (and I mean a LOT) of people who are looking for developers

I love that this video has gone viral, not only because it’s a display of pure joy and appreciation for another human being, but because it’s a fine example of my favorite business mantra: Do What You Love in the Service of People Who Love What You Do.

With so many languages espousing functional programming paradigms, it's no wonder that functional implementations of common data structures are also becoming more and more popular. As a programmer it's important that we learn to adopt them into our repertoire of tools and techniques. Imperative data structures operate through in-place mutation of data.

Agile practices, with their emphasis on transparency, business alignment and technical completion, are enablers of better IT governance. But all the transparency and alignment in the world isn't going to do us any good if we're not equipped to pay attention and act on it.

I was just interviewed by Frank Peters - Tony Karrer and the Founder-Developer Gap. It was a lot of fun for me. I’ve listened to Frank’s show for several years. And I always recommend it to people involved in early stage startups. I received a follow-up question from an early-stage startup about the Founder Developer Gap that I’ve described before and that was part of the interview with Frank.

In the not too distant past, storage was limited and expensive. As recently as 1980, 1 megabyte of disk storage cost $200. But this is no longer the case. Today, you can buy 8,000 megabytes (a.k.a. 8 gigabytes) for $1. Storage capacity is now so abundant and compact that you can record every voice conversation you’ll ever have in a device that can fit into the palm of your hand.

At the beginning of the school year, Jill Scheulen, Principal of Crestview Middle School in the St. Louis area, issued a Greater Than Yourself (GTY) challenge to her faculty by encouraging them to take on GTY Projects of their own. It wasn’t a mandate, and there were no requirements as to who’d qualify. In other words, they didn’t have to do it, but if they did, they could take on a student, another teacher, a parent in the community–anyone, really.

Developers are blissfully ignorant in knowing how insecure the code they write is. To overly simplify, an application security specialists job is to remove a developers bliss, their happiness. Happiness is not something a person will want to let go of willingly unless an equitable replacement is offered. If this is what it takes, no wonder application security is so challenging.
