@pixelmatrix RIP GOOD TIMES

Wow, very interesting presentation from Sequoia Capital: http://twurl.cc/5rc

@webdav i'm not sure how that works actually. It may be possible, but i'm not sure.

@pixelmatrix I started watching your presentation on ustream - wish there was a way to get it as MP4 for my iPod!

Just posted my slides from my Microformats presentation: http://twurl.cc/5r9 and also on the Refresh Portland site.

Well, my voice is sounding a little better today. Still got a sore throat though.

[-O] @pixelmatrix all that said, i agree with the general sentiment and wish circumstances were diffe.. http://tinyurl.com/4nce4c

@pixelmatrix all that said, i agree with the general sentiment and wish circumstances were different so we could return to balanced budgets.

@pixelmatrix definitely counter-intuitive, but we've been through this before & have some good examples to learn from.

@pixelmatrix also not the time to cut govt spending when we face recession. that simply constrains the economy further making recovery worse

@pixelmatrix it can be argued that a certain % of infrastructure & defense costs should be passed on to the next generation who reap benefit

And with that note, i'm off to bed.

It seems like a simple issue to me. We simply need to cut back. The government can't pay for everything and cut taxes as well.

For some reason, the gov't ignores the rules that the rest of us follow: don't live outside your means. taxes = income, debt = credit.

@awilkinson agree. it needs to learn how to automatically sleep, therefore making it NOT freeze after being on for days on end.

@pixelmatrix which goes to show how much more is possible.

@pixelmatrix my son learns English and Japanese at the same pace as most of the English-only 4th graders.
