Re-watched Thank You for Smoking. Prescient movie. Predicted the graphic FDA label on smokes as well as cell phone + cancer trouble

@ivey Very cool to see your name in HUGE font in Wired, Michael. Pg. 72. It leads off the Future of Money cover story. Have you seen it?

Just sat next to Andre 3000 at Little Bangkok. No one else recognized him. Got a chance to speak to him. Acted like a real dork.

HIV vaccine. This is huge. Even if it only cuts risk by 31%. There will be a Nobel prize for this. Science prevails.

Gotta give it to Sarkozy for proposing a carbon tax - the most efficient, market-based means of fighting global warming. Courageous move.

@jen_bonnett You're right, I did label them incorrectly. Sorry for the confusion & thanks for the feedback!

[Rob Shields @rob_shields]

@jen_bonnett I'm confused. So does this mean you'd vote for the rows-based design with expandable column headings?

[Rob Shields @rob_shields]

Need feedback on LocalPrice user interface. Should we move to columns: http://bit.ly/KAcjB or stick with rows: http://bit.ly/vcVJP

@gfoster_nmp don't entrepreneurs count a little bit? There were companies and jobs before the time of VCs. But no cos before entrepreneurs.

[Rob Shields @rob_shields]

@gfoster_nmp These stats may overstate the role of VC just a bit. Like saying "Shoes. 0.03% of GDP and propelling 99% of the economy"

@cindycheatham Add me to the KY roster. Hoptown. Given the number of folks from KY in ATL tech scene, surely someone is related...

[Rob Shields @rob_shields]

ATL tech entrepreneurs where were you? DLA's event this AM had lots of investors, few companies. Not that I'm complaining....

[Rob Shields @rob_shields]

Caught up with friends from TN & KY via 3-way video recently. Had a couple beers & a great time. Surprisingly similar to meeting in person.
