    One thing I noticed throughout the week is you have highs and lows but you come to these dinners and get a big motivation boost.

    I hear that.

      Sunday:  Alas. I don't know how I'm going to do that.
  Monday:  Wow! That complex algorithm works perfectly!
  Tuesday:  Oh no!  In certain cases, it runs way too slow!
  Wednesday:  I'll just rewrite 2 sections.  That'll fix it.
  Thursday: No!  It's slower than before!
  Friday:  Here's the original culprit, one line of code!
  Saturday:  Got it done, but wasted 4 days.  Woo hoo!  Sigh.
    Good thing I have hn to temper those highs and lows.

    The growth behind DailyBooth is very impressive (and it's a great concept - a lot of my Twitter posts have a photos). I'm sad I couldn't make it to Demo Day this year.

    I like Bump, but I have a feeling FlightCaster is going to be BIG.
