The best part about this amazing Failcon talk by Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is that he eventually had to take VC money from a firm called Chaos Ventures for his previous — and very troubled — startup, Scour. The firm was started by a Korean family named Chao, who just added an ‘s’ to the end of their name.

Greek New Year's Cake

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:00:00 -0500

Every year Greek families bake a Vasilopita, or for lack of better English words, a Greek New Year’s cake. On New Year’s Day, families gather round to cut the crumbly almond cake into large pieces representing each member of the family, and the Holy Trinity.

You see, there is a coin baked into the cake (!), and the family member who “gets” the coin is said to have good luck for the rest of the year.

Today, my Mom called me internationally from Athens just to tell me that … our family’s coin was in my portion of the cake.

There’s totally a joke to be made here about “gross spread.”

The TechCrunch Drama Continues

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:52:00 -0500

The people who have left are huge and established talents (to whom I owe A LOT), but to say that TechCrunch has fallen apart discounts the talent of the writers still there: Leena Rao, Jason Kincaid, Eric Eldon, Josh Constine, Greg Kumparak, John Biggs, Sarah Perez, Jordan Cook, Devin Coldeway, Robin Wauters, Rip Empson, Mike Butcher, Matt Burns, Jon Orlin and myself.

And sometimes, Steve Cheney and Semil Shah and Roi Carthy and of course, Erick Schonfeld, who is more an editor than a writer, but what the hell?

We are all still finding our voice while TechCrunch is changing. Aol undeniably sucks, but honestly TechCrunch.com is still a tremendous platform and many of us will go on to do great things once this particular drama subsides.
