bg Blog: My Week Alone on the Internet
Why: I saw the author, Grant Blakeman speak recently at TedxBoulder about minimalism. (That’s him in the photo to the left.) He continues the good work here with a post on being distracted with what he calls CRS aka Constant-Refresh-Syndrome. This post details his experiment to circumvent this and what he found was that there are distractions everywhere. Insightful read.
The Daily Beast: Is There a Gender Divide in Startups?

Suzan – A great conversation about women in tech, particularly in the Boulder community, during BOCC this morning.

We are headed in the right direction. And? I really want to change the conversation. Post coming soon.
