Go help Kara Swisher win . She runs the “D Conference” and deserves to win just because she used one of my naked pictures.
Or, go help Fred Wilson win . He’s a famous VC and he should win hands down, like he did last year.
Why don’t I care if I lose?
Because this “ DonorsChoose program ” is a contest to raise money for classroom supplies and other things that help kids out. Fortune blogs has the details .
I am starting out with $100. I think I’ll split it between Kara and Fred — it’ll brighten Kara’s day to beat me too, so I’ll get a double-dose of fun by doing that. So, help me lose this contest and help the kids win!
Go here to read the rest:
This is one contest I don’t care if I lose

Image by mndoci via FlickrI should start with a disclaimer. My studies in the US have been limited to graduate school, so a lot is hearsay and gut feeling.
Fred Wilson writes about hacking education . First, he echoes something I believe in strongly
education is possibly the most important thing we can do for our world and our children.
Education is the ultimate equalizer, at least a good one, and more importantly, the right now. The one that is composed for formal school educati... more

I get five or so requests a week from people who want a PC at home that they can surf the web and check email from. Most of them don’t want to do anything much more complicated than watching YouTube videos. I usually give them all the same recipe for doing this on the cheap, and thus I thought it’d be worthwhile to present it to all of my readers.

I keep reading tons of stuff about asset allocation and how you need to diversify your investments. Is it really that big of a deal?
In short, just starting a Roth IRA or a 401(k) or an investment account isn’t enough. If you merely open that account, pick a few default investments, and start throwing money at it, you’re doing far better than the average bear, but you’re still leaving money on the table.

Yesterday, I had a long conversation with a friend of mine, mostly about what we plan to do for the rest of our lives. I told him about my plans and dreams - writing, volunteer work, local politics, and so on - and I also mentioned how I was saving carefully for retirement.
Right then, he asked a key question, one that has left me thinking carefully and deeply over the last few days.
If you’re planning on working until you literally can’t work any more, why are you saving ... more
