the kids are alright

dear readers, i present for your enjoyment, the artful juxtaposition of quotes taken out of context.

Studies: 90 percent of kids use computers

"About 90 percent of people ages 5 to 17 use computers and 59 percent of them use the Internet -- rates that are, in both cases, higher than those of adults. Even kindergartners are becoming more plugged in: One out of four 5-year-olds uses the Internet."

VC Guru on Coming of the 'Next Big Thing'

" Q: So, Guy, tell me... what will be the next big thing?

Almost by definition that is in the hearts and minds of young people in educational institutions. The job of the early stage investors is to find those people, and not necessarily to know what that thing is. People have hazard at guesses -- a real explosion in biotech or wireless, but the wireless journey has already begun. That may already be here so I don't know if you can call it the next big thing. Those are the ones mentioned most often -- wireless and biotech."

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
