Feld Thoughts : I Want To Allocate My Tax Payment

Apr 14, 2008 5:37 AM

While it seems like a decent idea, I wouldn't want to make the tax code anymore difficult. Also, since most people are still apathetic when it comes to voting and politics in general, I am guessing the participation rate in a program like this would be low relative to the size of the population.

One idea I do like which comes out of Congress is a bill to put a line on our tax forms that allows anyone who feels they do not pay enough in taxes to pay more as a donation to the federal govn't. To paraphrase the Congressman who put the bill together "It would be a great injustice to those wishing to pay more taxes not to be able to do so." Unfortunately, it probably won't make it to the President's desk.

VC Adventure : Failure

Feb 15, 2008 12:31 PM

This is an exceptional post. As an investor, you must take it personally to fully realize what happened along the way. "Gaffing" it off and trying to keep it impersonal to keep the process from "elongating" sets the stage for the same mistakes to be had twice. I also believe that "experience is what you get when you don't get what you want." As they say, live and learn.

It is more painful for the entrepreneur because of the emotional and financial consequences. Still, investors don't like to see a company fail and it can be painful for them to watch. I don't think Seth was trying to say VC's feel more pain. I do think he was just enlightening people that investors do care and are often hurt when companies fail.

chris, you can choose a different display method,the "drop out" so when someone hits the comment link the comments slide out from the post. As of right now, the traditional method for comment display is not on the homepage right underdneath every post, but to have a comment link that is clicked on to either reveal the comments with the "drop out" method or the traditional method where the user clicks the comment link and is taken to a separate page.

As for the second, I am assuming you installed our Wordpress plugin and not our generic code. If this is the case then there is likely something unique to your theme that we will have to make a special adjustment for you. I'll reach out to you through email.

Marshall's Web Tool Blog : When a Blogger Criticizes Your Company...

Dec 6, 2007 2:58 PM

One of my favorite sayings that is so important as an entrepreneur is "your perception is my reality." As an entrepreneur, it doesn't matter if you are right and the blogger is wrong. The blogger's perception is the entrepreneur or marketer's reality...so do something to change that perception.
