  Daniel Squadron: Political Entrepreneur
  My Experiences

  On Thursday I had the privilege of attending an event thrown for Daniel Squadron, a 28 year old Democrat currently running for State Senate. I’ve met Daniel a few times over the last few years and like him a lot. He understands that most people, especially younger folks, don’t know or particularly care about state government. However Daniel’s not afraid to give you an earful on why it does matter. New York State government used to be a leading force in key legislations. He'd like see it return to its once prominent form. In contrast, current turnout for state elections ...

  New York City Startup Twitter-ers
  My Experiences

  I'd like to compile a list of NYC based Twitter-ers (those using Twitter.com) who have a predilection for startups. I was so busy in 2007 that I wasn't able to attend many (maybe any?) NYC tech events. 2008 will be different. I’d like to get more connected. I’d like to have more of an ‘online community’ to contribute and learn from. Twitter will be starting point 1. In compiling this list, please drop your Twitter handle and/or link in the comments below Here is my handle: squasher98.  Just click “follow” Cheers! Sam

  Weekend RoundUp
  Pop Culture

  I haven’t been able to do much writing this week but I wanted to point out a few things I have come across that others may enjoy... Rob Webb has a great post about our rival alma matas forays into venture capital endowment investing. Looks like Colby has the upper hand as of now. There is an interesting email from Justin Rosenstein making the rounds with the message that ’Facebook is THAT company.’ Brilliant PR or is this guy onto something? In answer to Noah’s question ’“ I rarely ever check email. Instead’ I listen. The beautiful buzz of my Blackberry has ...

  Squash Back in the Big Apple
  My Experiences

  Professional squash once again returns to New York City. The Tournament of Champions will be hosted inside Grand Central Station from February 24 - March 2nd. You can purchase tickets here. If you have never seen professional squash, it is well worth it; especially when held in an amazing venue like Grand Central. One of the neatest aspects of squash is the use of portable courts allowing tournaments to be held in such exotic locales as the Pyramids in Giza or on beaches in the Caribbean. Social Media holds a ton of promise for niche sports like squash. Notoriously difficult to film, squash ...
