   DDD – the video is long, but there are fun moments at Minute:

   28:00 on Twitter and
   37:30 on the VC herd mentality
   62:00 on Venter’s synbio work (biotech 2.0 with DNA synthesis without animals)

   I hate to say it, but I agree with her on the Twitter front. Its a simple, elegant idea, and it has a place… But I wish there was more talk around other ideas in tech right now.

   Yeah… I gave it 5 minutes and figured I’d continue later while working on something mindless. Thanks for the shortcuts. =)

   Audio files are probably more useful. I can listen while on one of my longer runs.

   Agreed. I love Twitter, it’s an efficient way to keep up on events and memes in my social group, but surely something more interesting is going on in technology!?!?

   I’ve read a book on his activity in Drexel Burnham Lambert in the 80’s (well known book written by Dennis Levine). Some mixed opinions – financial innovator and visionaire or insider and stocks manipulator. Certainly very interesting person.

    I take back what I said about audio files being more useful. I enjoyed watching your reaction when Kara said "twatting". (Here’s Colbert.)

    Best quote, just before 38:
    "They’re all silly until they’re brilliant."

    This seems appropriate here:

    Steve Jurvetson on being a VC.mp3 (3:12, 2.9MB)

    It’s another part of a conversation Steve and I had at the Tesla Model S premiere party in LA. He talks about being a VC versus science and research. I really appreciate Steve’s nuggets of wisdom.
