This latest TechCrunch post, "LaunchBox Unleashes Its First Nine Startups" really got me thinking of whether we could do something like this in Hawaii.

Ever since I met Paul Graham back in 2004 when I presented at MIT's Spam Conference (fast forward 21 minutes to see me make a presentation in record colContinue

Congrats to YOU

Hey, cool, I just caught this writeup on TechHui from Ning. Neat-O! Hats off to Dan & folks that made this site what it is today.
