So, do I include the donation when I send in the Executive Summary, or do I wait until we get to term sheet signing?

Re: What To Make Of The Funded

Isn't this the same with any "reviews" site? Doesn't Yelp have the same credibility and authority deficit?

I am not saying The Funded is the end-all, but it seems like the point is for budding entrepreneurs to have a relatively safe place to help each other interact with a very secretive and intimidating market. Part of that is done through relative anonymity (i.e. your email is not stored with your login). Once you have "certified" users you have taken that away.

Re: RSS 2.0 comments element (Scripting News)

Google is getting FAST. I found this searching for information about the author element in RSS 2.0.

I am working on an application (statzen.com) that publishes feeds for many different blogs and am planning to provide support for the <comments> element.

On a somewhat related note, it seems that in order for the author element to be valid, it must expose an email address to spammers. What if that author element had an alternate syntax that allowed a URL to a contact form i.e.:

<author>http://example.com/contact (author name)</author>

Re: Sprint gave me a free cell phone. What’s the catch?

I emailed the Sprint Ambassador program to see if they would hook me up. I wrote a fair amount about my a900 when I got it (one of which you linked to to sync with a Mac).

I think it is pretty cool what they are doing. I just wish they would include me ;)

Nitpick: the tunnel is made of concrete, not PVC

Re: www.urlzen.com-What’s a Shorter Word for “Abbreviation?”

Wayne, that would be really useful. The way it works now is that if you use the bookmarklet it will take you to the urlzen page for the site you are currently browsing. I am going to see if I can make it to where then hitting Ctrl+C (or Command+C on a Mac) would copy the new short URL. It shouldn't be too hard.

4. Don't move out of range of the motion sensor. I have tried to do it before and it is hard to do. You can lean far enough forward to set it off, but it would be hard to lean far enough to the side.

Be sure to send it out via twitter too.

My guess is MS Live AJAX Toolkit

Katherine, I would be interested to know what you are basing that on. I have both been a high school teacher and read Kozol's book. I agree with you some on the overworked teachers, though that do does have to do with tax brackets (i.e regional taxes paying for regional school systems).

I agree with Ariah.
