Watching Too Big To Fail. The actual news at the time was more interesting. @DearBadKitty 's Bachelorette tweets are more entertaining.

I read it and re-read it. It really is a great article. I'm not really interesting in tech startups, but now I feel like I must attend BWB to see Adria Richards' panel.

There is a thin line between charmingly attentive & annoyingly pestering. Take it down a notch, please, car dealers.
