i love that they just ignore the last two failed attempts at doing the same thing, apparently not quite grasping that power-autists aren't really much for social gatherings

also, lol at the "artist in residence" bullshit.

I thought tech types were meant to be rich and stupid? that type of money wouldn't get you anywhere near a real club in london.



Hell even babbies first club, like the oxford and cambridge, charge under 30 over $1000 a year.

I dunno, i think it sounds like a great idea. I don't have to hear them talking about how disruptive they are and how smart they are when trying to eat lunch or get a coffee.

Also, the reason you have no common social place to meet up in SV is because SV is a commercial/subburban poo poo hole that involves driving ANYWHERE and nerds are both asocial and lazy.

finally reading snowcrash. it's absurd how many parts of that abook seemed to be inspiration for tech comapnies now

if you want to be really sad, read some John Brunner, specifically "Stand on Zanzibar" and "The Sheep Look Up"

just don't if you're anywhere near suicidal, because, uh, yeah.

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

this is a great idea but you need to get some extroverts in on the ground floor so that the wallflowers come in and spill money everywhere

taking initial investments now for a private club that's primarily for well-known social media personalities and people who are famous in tech


it will have a twitter feed that lets you know who is currently in attendance

right now we're calling it the Glory Hole
