Commentary on A Month Without iOS
VC, angel, blogger Brad Feld wrote a very passionate post about his plan to move for a month from iOS to Android on his blog this past week. A day or so later VentureBeat picked up the post and reposted it, and the Twittersphere picked up on it adding greater social amplification. Feld's post ha...
Enjoy it! The company is really amazing. If you ever are in downtown SF and want to stop by, just ask me.

FitBit One – a marvel of miniaturization
I used to call my beagle Peanuts my FitBit. We walked together for hundreds of miles. With his passing last week, it is so nice that my nephew gifted me a FitBit One for Christmas. The more I look at the little device and the data it is constantly communicating to my iPhone, the more admiration...
Great story dad - I'd never heard this one before. It is an awesome reminder that life is inches.
Ben Casnocha came and visited last week. He had a Hyundai and lost control of it on the last curve near our house. He got lucky and just ended up in a ditch. Amy towed him out with her Range Rover - the Hyundai was such a weak car that it caught air when she pulled it out of the ditch!

The Chautaugua: The Feld Men’s Trip
Stanley Feld M.D, FACP, Two weeks ago after I wrote “A Tribute To Jack Feld”, I received a bunch of requests to write about the upcoming Chautaugua we had scheduled at the Aspen Institute for this year’s Feld Men’s Trip. Left to Right: Daniel, Stan, Kenny, Jon, Brad in front and Charlie. T...
Dad - this is a beautiful post. I miss Jack a lot - whenever I think of him I realize what a huge impact he's had on my life. I wonder if the car thing has translated as well - I never really thought about it but maybe it did.
Can't wait to see you in Aspen in a week.

Haven't written about my latest running efforts in a while so I'm going to try to wrap it all up into one post so I can catch up and then try to blog about this more consistently... At the end of 2010 I had started training for an Ironman but after a few months of hard training had decided that ...
Super update to the presentation. I riffed on this - and other stuff - in a post today on Startup Communities titled Boston's Amazing Comeback".

What Makes The Boston Start-Up Scene Special?
There continues to be great interest around the world regarding how to build innovation clusters. Inspired by a similar presentation that Fred Wilson did on the NYC start-up scene many years ago, I pulled this presentation together. I just updated it for a group of Harvard Business School stud...
Allen - I put this up with some discussion as the VC Blog of the Day on Ask the VC at http://www.askthevc.com/wp/archives/2011/08/morgan-why-entrepreneurs-should-never-meet-vcs-unless-theyre-formally-pitching.html.
While I respectfully disagree with your perspective, I think it helps make the point that there are (a) plenty of different points of views, (b) that not all VCs, and (c) this means that entrepreneurs should know who they are dealing with before they just start pitching, or even building a relationship.

Why Entrepreneurs Should Never Meet VC's Unless They're Formally Pitching
[Addendum to the original post: The next post attempts to clarify the positions of several, apparently contrary blog posts, as well as some of the comments generated by this post.] One of the things I do for my "Sherpa" companies is help them raise money. Recently, I've had the same discussion...
My recommendation for the current travel season is to (a) consider yourself luggage - http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/11/pretending-you-are-luggage.html - and practice sleeping while in the middle seat.
