  • mlevchin: @Jawbone enjoying it greatly, thanks. Can we "daisy-chain" a bunch of these and make even more noise?

  • mlevchin: @hossrahman @yvesbehar nice work! -- the crew here is now being forced to learn about my odd music tastes.

  • mlevchin: This thing rocks, literally! Few more minutes of this, and HVF will get evicted. Thanks again @jawbone!! http://t.co/9b5HsrJV

  • mlevchin: A nice surprise at the office this morning -- @jawbone sent us a few BIG Jamboxes to play with!! Unboxing commencing. Thanks @hossrahman!

  • mlevchin: Random amazing cycling fact courtesy of @PaulSherwen and @PhilLIgett: Eddie Merckx won full 33% of the 1500 bike races he entered.

  • mlevchin: Don't get why Twitter won't embrace its destiny/opportunity to treat (implicitly) embedded media as first class citizens.

    10:01:36 am on May 15, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Think having kids saps startup-making mojo? NOT! Creates opportunities to be awake and work at strange hours, is more like it!

    09:52:19 am on May 15, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @NanaGilbertB that's quite clever! thanks for the tip.

    04:29:42 pm on May 14, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: iPhone needs blacklist-a-number feature (eg SMS spammer). Might not be very effective, but sure would be satisfying.

    03:11:02 pm on May 14, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @iamtedking oh yeah, good luck tomorrow and in AToC overall :)

    05:34:37 am on May 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: One success-and-then-some I can definitely claim today is in replenishing all those calories burned riding the Gran Fondo earlier.

    05:31:15 am on May 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @iamtedking Will definitely try to see early ones in person. The bike is, in a word, dreamy :)

    02:27:06 am on May 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Great fun riding upfront with @Vaughters and Argyle Armada this morning in Sonoma. Less fun changing 4 (four) flats on the roads later.

    02:04:10 am on May 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Painful refresher in roughing it: street pipe burst, our office has no water or plumbing, SF has no ETA on fix. Help @mayoredlee please!

    10:18:29 pm on May 9, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @picocrew through personal experience of successes and failures :)

    07:48:08 am on May 6, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: ..and the opposite (to Mt View): decide to work from home, thinking it'd be good to get out of the office, only to miss it immediately :-)

    10:34:42 pm on May 4, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: with Android, YouTube, Chrome, and Hangouts Google actually has the necessary pieces with which to build the "instagram of video".

    08:13:53 pm on May 3, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Will add my own, it's quite apropos right now: cure for the common cold. (Send more ideas for "massive, yet fixable problem", please!!)

    06:47:53 am on May 3, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Question (as in I want to hear from you): what are today's biggest unsolved, yet imminently solvable problems?

    01:28:05 am on May 3, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Going to Mt View is a lot like visiting old school campuses: I get excited on the way there, and almost immediately can't wait to leave.

    09:15:46 pm on May 2, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Single best criterion for choosing a co-founder: someone you want to impress, every day. Same goes for choosing a spouse.

    05:35:47 am on May 2, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Activating an unlocked Android GSM phone at Best Buy is a remarkably painful experience, even with a clearly intelligent employee helping.

    03:31:37 am on April 28, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @dspector @purplepatch @studiovelo conditions were good for riding hard ;-)

    03:15:10 pm on April 23, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Related: I won 'worst dressed' for mixing Assos bib shorts and a Capo top. Nominate @purplepatch for 'lord of weather' - what tailwind?!! :)

    04:16:00 am on April 23, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Awesome Coast Ride with @purplepatch and @StudioVelo: HMB->SLO. 3200,3600,4100 tasty kJ burned. Can't stop eating now! :-)

    04:07:09 am on April 23, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: I wonder how frequently popular open-sourced libraries get "contributions" of deliberately malicious code, and how much damage that causes.

    07:19:09 am on April 19, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @stevefarnworth either Perry and team will build it soon.. or the Samwer Brothers will!! :)

    05:11:53 pm on April 18, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Kickstarter, the Uber-for-cash is very high on my "wish that was my idea" list.

    05:08:26 pm on April 18, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @bgmasters yep

    11:23:49 am on April 17, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @willydennis http://t.co/l488Rf8n

    05:06:11 am on April 17, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @willydennis Well-id'd slack capacity, but txn freq on buy side is low - retention is hard, no network effects. Also, some spotty UI :)

    05:02:06 am on April 17, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Sign of the times: entirely empty office network rack except for a Airport Extreme. http://t.co/mWwnbotY

    06:04:51 pm on April 16, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Neil Stephenson is writing stuff faster than I can read it! And now that he's got co-authors, it's just hopeless.

    02:15:34 pm on April 14, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: To build instagram-of-video one needs to shoot, personalize, and share from phone. We'll need either mega-batteries or mega-bandwidth.

    04:24:40 pm on April 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: RT @jeremys: Is someone going to create a Kickstarter for academia? Contributing directly to promising research would be cool.

    04:18:59 pm on April 13, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Long day, full of learning new things!! E.g., United has DirectTV on some flights, and you can buy content at $6-9/hr.

    09:02:41 am on April 12, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: I wonder whether others' tweeting patters follow my own: long periods of silence interspersed with bursts of activity. Do yours?

    04:20:30 pm on April 11, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: No fewer than two of my neighbors on this flight are playing Angry Birds on their iPhones.

    04:15:57 pm on April 11, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Surprised to find that nobody's published (ok, only that AMZN doesn't sell) a book titled 'TL;DR' yet.

    02:11:17 pm on April 11, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Thanks Chris and Tommy at @REVEILLECOFFEE for allowing me to pull my own shots today. They (not me!) make the best espresso in miles!

    04:54:38 pm on April 10, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Congrats to @Sequoia_Capital on recruiting my friend @aaref - intelligence and integrity this high rarely come in a package as humble.

    04:43:25 pm on April 9, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: Am I the only cycling nut that finds Universal Sports' new site design completely unbearable and unusable?

    06:01:15 am on April 7, 2012 |

     

  • mlevchin: @infoarbitrage ...that the two are indistinguishable a priori, and in a year or three the returns will drive capital availability.
