Yahoo for the Tumblr Community
staff:
Are you sick and tired of seeing all of these big city slicker tumblr meet ups?

Snail Mail
I was filling out a contact form at the vet’s office yesterday. I looked at the question, “Would you prefer to receive reminders via email?” and thought about it seriously for the first time in 10-15 years.
My answer was no.

The Truth About Entrepreneurs: Twice As Many Are... →
Myths abound about the young entrepreneurs who dreamed up crazy ideas while in their dorm room, raised millions of dollars in venture capital, and started billion-dollar businesses.

How I Became an Entrepreneur →
I was out at a HackCville event a couple weeks ago, which is a local organization dedicated to helping students of UVA become a part of the entrepreneurial experience. It’s a great community.
