Last night of Y Combinator summer session

Tonight is the last dinner of our summer session. It has truly been an extraordinary experience.

And hopefully just the beginning of a fantastic journey.

Modern art is a disaster area.

The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative, and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.

OMG anthropologie was not designed with me in mind

I'm sitting on the boyfriend couches at Anthropoloie marvelling at an amazing set of books that have no relevance to me at all.

A sampling of titles:
The Art of Being a Woman: A simple guide to everyday love and laughter. How to live like a lady: lessons in life, manner, and style. What I know now: extraordinary women share the wisdom they'd had when they were younger.

And my personal fave: Males, Nails, and Sample Sales.

Pizza Antica = most awesome truffle oil pizza ever

Normally I hate most everything about Santana Row, it's fake facades, plastic people, and expensive cats. But I do love the Pizza Antica. (ok, and h&m too.)

The heirloom potato truffle oil pizza is unbelievable. Ok must stop blogging and eat now.

In the future, everyone will be anonymous for 15 minutes

Bansky is a brilliant anonymous street/fine artist. Saw some of his street art in London -- incredibly subversive and prescient. I'm loving the Paris Hilton stunt he pulled in the UK... brilliant.

Hat tip all that's nice and has no vice

McCain thinks he has 4 houses, maybe... (that's so gangster)

Barack Obama lashed into John McCain during a campaign stop in Virginia on Thursday, ridiculing the presumptive Republican nominee for being painfully out of touch on the economy and not even knowing how many houses he owns.

"Yesterday, [John McCain] was asked again what do you think about the economy, he said I think the economy is fundamentally strong," said Obama. "Now this puzzled me. I was confused what he meant. But then there was another interview where somebody asked John McCain how many houses do you have and he said 'I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff.' True quote. 'I'm not sure ill have to check with my staff.' So they asked his staff and they said, 'at least four.' At least four. Now think about that. I guess if you think that being rich means you make $5 million and if you don't know how many houses you have then it is not surprising that you think the economy is fundamentally strong. But if you are like me and you've got one house, or if you are like the millions of people struggling now to keep up with your mortgage payments, you might have a different perspective. By the way the answer is John McCain has seven homes."

Compare/contrast Snoop Dogg in "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted"...

I got a house out in the hills right next to Chino
and I, think I got a black Beamer

Snoop Dogg thinks he has a black BMW, possibly -- McCain thinks he has 4 houses. The dynamics here are fascinating. Not only do they have a lot of money (aka scrilla), but they don't CARE enough to even know definitively how many they have. In a way, this is incredibly inspiring, as they've transcended the maxim "Your stuff owns you." Either way, they're RIAACCHH BIAACHHHH!!!

Nola in Palo Alto

Good times with our YC friends and Ewat and PJ. The skirt steak is excellent, especially rare.

Michael Phelps, animated gif style (hilarious)

I try to read almost every post that gets posted to Posterous. It's a tall order, but along the way I get to see some pretty awesome stuff. Stuff like this... LOL.
