Not everyone can do something as interesting as selling tickets :) Seriously though, what would you do after you finish your hard slog?

  That's not fair. I completely see his point. As I was reading this, I also realized that this guy's kind of an empty void. And that bugged me at first. But those same qualities probably helped him out a good bit.

    A lot of people say they want to change the world, then do something that won't. I often hear excuses how a bug tracking application or a twitter app will change the world - come on, be realistic. Your simple webapp just won't change the world in any real way. Very few things actually help or change the world - and those that really want to change the world are doing it already. If you want to change the world, go do it - you don't need money to make a difference. What are you wasting your time for? Full props to the pof guy, he is obviously doing what pushes his buttons.

  The story of my life would go something like, "For the first 24 years, Tom did nothing of particular note. Then he moved to Boston and co-founded a web start-up. We're still not sure if this is noteworthy either." Care to imagine why there haven't been dozens of articles written on me? ;) What would I do? Travel a lot. Keep learning new things every day. Work on many Open Source projects. Maybe slow down long enough to go on a date for the first time in a couple years. Whatever it is, the story probably won't be worth a 5 page article in Inc. Sort of like this one.
