The intro text is nice, but is there some way to stop it? I just wanted to click around in the interface and then read about it afterwards.

I will say, having worked on two VC sites now (see comments on http://kpcb.com below - KP is an exception to this). Most VCs can be incredibly cheap when it comes to these types of expenses, for whatever reason they are not willing to pay

Thanks! It was an interesting project to work on, glad you like the result. KPCB has a very good person that was previously at Hulu to help them with marketing (Christina Lee) and she was the driving force behind them getting it done the

I did the new version of Kleiner Perkin's site ( http://www.kpcb.com ) and the first thing I did was to review the other VC sites out there. It is amazing how many VC websites look like they were coded up by an intern in a weekend.

This may be a great article, but the effort of parsing through the number of ads and highlighted words on the page made me give up trying to read it after the first two paragraphs. Not to hijack this posting, but can this amount of advertis

I'm sure everyone involved wishes that it didn't have to happen this way, but this is a super nice move of Loic to promote each employee individually on his blog. His personal reach will give these employees a big boost in their ability to

Reading through the timeline it seems like the chose to enforce their (in my opinion, bogus) patent in a very agressive way. Don't like this company at all.

I'm doing a startup at the moment and we have a 3 month old. My wife is a surgery resident, so she works long hours and is not able to help out very much. I think the only reason we are able to do this is that we have my mother in law stayi

I'm the technical guy behind SumZero and I'd have to say that your comments are spot on. It can be very difficult to get a good rating on the site, those ideas that do tend to be exceptional and get a significant amount of attention.

I don't really understand the need for Jeweler. Gemspec is a straightforward format and I've never had problems maintaing a gemspec by hand. It provides a version bumping rake task, but that is a single line edit in the gemspec.

For free accommodation I recommend couchsurfing.org. It might be a little tricky with 3 travelers, generally people have couches for 1 or 2 people, but all of those cities will have lots of couches available. I have hosted lots of couchsurf

Nice site. I'd prefer the results in a grid format so I could quickly compare the results (specs/price) of many netbooks on a single page. I had an Acer Aspire One for two months, the 6 cell 160GB HD version. It was just a little too crampe
