I updated the post to include this little gem. I'm seriously, seriously considering the deletion of my Facebook account... I feel that I need to start a movement first and kick them straight in the teeth. The ploy for more click through and having every linkable item become a physical likable item within Facebook just smells of a scheme to get more and more page views from within. I thought we did away with abusing internal linking years ago... guess not.

Ahh, gotcha.

Um... 5% for helping out, not sure on that one. TechStars for all they do for the startups only takes 6% equity...

I'm currently in the process of finding a job in Boulder and hope to be down by June 1st. I would be more than willing to help out if / when I get down there. I will formally apply when I know more about my actual move.

Thanks David again for all you do. I think this is a stellar idea and completely understand the want for it. I was a non-selection this year and would love to still be able to glean a bit of that TechStars excitement and mentorship.

With all due respect, I don't see a hashtag as a valid plan for change. It may be a start. I am anxious to see how it turns out.

I personally know the power of twitter as it has gotten me a couple of job interviews, a ticket to a tech conference, and a place to stay. But I'm a proponent of diving in headfirst and with all possible vigor. If this were something I thought of, or an agenda I was trying to push.

I would, at the very least:

- Had a website devoted to it, with information, a form or something of the like for contact on the subject
- At the very least, the information plus a simple feed of the #fowaspeak hashtag so people could see / get excited about making the change!

I wish you all the luck in this and will be writing up my thoughts on just this issue in the near future to do my little part.

Respectfully,

Derek

Hey Michael -

The styling issue wasn't a huge deal, mostly my fault I suppose, not making my list style selectors specific enough. Luckily I know my way around CSS (thanks for the CSS doc link, would've made it easier ;))

I might be 'hacking' around with some of the CSS on here to do some conditional styling - I'll let you know how that goes.

All the best, and keep up the great work!
