Starcraft 1 players are acceptable too, but I imagine there's a bit of a "you're too old" discrimination associated with it.

Is it faux pas to do this? If so, please let me know and I'll delete it, though.

I wrote a response to some of the comments on this page about the StarCraft tournament in the form of a post.

I dunno. I wouldn't fund any startup that can't pull off a good zergling rush.

You should come in full SCV costume.

your name is ALMOST zerg... I have a feeling you're a Starcraft Shark.

Hmm... don't tempt me, haha! I think my girlfriend would kill me.

DAMNIT. Apparently I just HAD to move out of SF before this happened. The poor location, cost of living, and everything else don't matter when Starcraft 2 is on the line.

The cool things about starting a startup is that you make the rules. I know most people think they need to take the "work-12-hours-a-day-approach" when they start a startup, but that's not mandatory. Not sure who came up with that one.

When you're starting your startup, you should think about what kind of time, energy, etc you want to put into it. I really enjoy what I do, but I also realized working all the time gets in the way of other things I want to do (i.e. spending lots time with people). When I started my business, one of the rules was to work only in the morning, and because I had this mindset from the beginning, everything has worked out great. Sure, sometimes I'll work a little more, and sure, I really enjoy what I do, but if spending time with your wife/husband is really important to you, you can dictate that as long as you do it early.
