Gifts for the VC You Love

So if you thought coming up with a company over a weekend was extreme, Andrew Hyde is upping the ante. During a plane flight they launched Startup Plane and came up with a new company - VCwear.com. They’ve even racked up a few sales apparently at $100/shirt. I told Andrew that I thought they could actually sell a bunch if they dropped the price but heck, what do I know.

Below are some of my favorite VCwear.com shirts. The first cause I like Snoop, the second would be better by changing “with” to “to”, and the third cause, well, it’s true. If they were cheaper I’d probably buy a few of the last one and send it to some “friends” of mine.




Facebook URL Shortening

Fbook.usI’m not sure why you’d do this, but I saw a tweet from Andrew Hyde about a service to shorten the URL for your Facebook profile.  The service is at fbook.us.  I tried it out and it does work.  I’m just not sure why you care to do this.  Are long Facebook URLs really a problem for anyone?  Given that they’ve only served 228 as I write this, I guess not.  Well, whatever.
