What’s going on, y’all. As you know, I enjoy publicizing cool things that my friends do and passing along information that might be helpful or interesting to my readers. Well, I’ve got something in this entry that covers both of these bases.

My long-time readers should remember me mentioning my friend and fellow blogger… Read the rest, John G. in earlier posts. He’s a Univ. of Penn engineering grad and Columbia MBA who works for a Venture Capital firm in NYC.
