So, I just talked with one of my best friends and learned that he still doesn’t read my blog. Devastating! We had an interesting conversation about how the value of ‘The Great Idea’ can be overrated and I wanted to point him to this great essay about the same topic by Paul Graham. Let’s see how long it takes him to find it.

I enjoy most of Paul Graham’s writings. He writes about startups and software, aimed at the high school/college age geek. His writings would have been invaluable when I was in high school. Of course, he was probably in high school at the time. :-)
