There is nothing I love more than sitting down with a fellow entrepreneur (I’m more of a wantrepreneur) and talking shop. We certainly have a lot of great start ups here in Utah and its always exciting to meet new and upcoming entrepreneurs. I often get asked to lunch to talk about various issues and problems inside local […]
Lately I’ve been meeting with a lot of budding entrepreneurs to talk about ideas they have or businesses they have started. I really enjoy getting together and talking with like-minded people.

Jason Calacanis wrote a blog post that created a firestorm on the Web. On the important stuff he’s right on. Here are my thoughts:
“Buy Macintosh computers, save money on an IT department.” Come on, Jason - Macs break down too. Plus, I’m way more productive on a PC - so are most other people.
