How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept that a Googolplex is a Really Big Number - David Walton [fantastic video]

NSFW language, but totally worth it. If I can see something like this at Ignite Boulder 6 this month, I'd have totally got my money's worth.

Watch it.

"Boulder has more 'collaboration per capita' than any other city in the US"

my life’s work is to find the most compelling startups in the Intermountain West and I’m going on record to say that there’s no better place in the region to start one than Boulder, Colorado.
There’s a very unique culture there and I think successful regional entrepreneurs from all over the country should go visit Boulder to see the impact of the culture of caring which exists there.  Successful entrepreneurs, lawyers, VCs and countless others devote a very significant part of their lives to mentoring local startups not because there’s something in it for them, but because they simply care deeply about entrepreneurs and they’ll do anything they can to help them.

I've written about this before and I guess I'll keep saying it over and over again: Boulder is fantastic for startups. Okay, I haven't got a chance to experience the startup environment as closely as people like the author of this quote have, but it's only a matter of time before I do.

*So* psyched.

OMG this is EXACTLY why I'm SO psyched about Boulder!

this area has grown from an earthy university town to a true hotbed of innovation. In certain parts of downtown, you can't throw a rock without hitting some startup's offices, and I could barely walk three blocks without bumping into at least one entrepreneur, developer, or designer

I found a link to this article on Brad Feld's blog today and this piece *totally* explains why I came to Boulder, Colorado (more on that in another blog post). As a tech fanatic, startup enthusiast and a budding entrepreneur, it's not hard to see why this place has me so excited. Never mind what I'm saying, just watch this video. No, seriously, watch it!

Sharing the Best Free Open-Source Software

Thanks to Theseus, I came across this site called the Freeware Mission which researches and lists the best free open source software on the market. Check out the entire list for yourself - it's pretty awesome. I know I just downloaded 6 programs right now and I'm freaking excited!

Start from here and keep a lookout on the right sidebar: http://www.freewaremission.com/2008/08/51-essential-programs-for-freeware-only.html

I love Google Chrome!

I really do. I love it like I love Posterous - in the same way, really.

Yes, there are a few minor glitches I've noticed but as of right now it looks ready to kick some a$$. I've been a Firefox proponent since it launched but Google's new Chrome looks like it's just about to outdo it. I will not immediately replace Firefox as my primary browser because I really can't do without all its addons but I'm sure Chrome will generate enough developer interest to change that pretty soon. 


Anyway, I'm not going to spend a day talking about this when better, more qualified people (and honestly, people with more time on their hands) have already done so. I'll leave it for the guys over at ZDNet and TechCrunch  to take you through what I believe is the coolest thing on the Internet right now. 

Cheers!

Cool Blog Theme

This is seriously one of the coolest blog themes I've seen till now. May not be the most reader-friendly, but the look is uber-cool.

Interesting gPhone Read

An interesting article on the upcoming Google Phone that will use Android. Gives a great insight (if true) on not just the technology, but the intended business model as well.
