From what I've learned regarding reading tech history, the 80s and 90s were littered with purges of founders from their original companies (the Sierra folks; 3Com; Cisco; I think even Origin). This is also probably why Google and Facebook are still largely owned and run original people: they saw what happened when you let VCs and brokers take over.

Thanks for coming to Reddit!

I keep Debt on my bookshelf. I've also tried to get other people to read it: with only mild success. Otherwise, I have also read Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein: maybe 30% is "New Age" hoke-ism, but the rest is some pretty sound ideas on dealing with the nature of indebtedness and currency. Any thoughts?

I've followed your blog on/off over the years: we need more "smart people" posting online. Question for you: I've found it easier to find stuff in the night sky lately; I live in the eastern part of Orlando, and I've been able to pick out a dim red Mars with little difficulty (Google Sky confirms when I see it). I took this pic a few weeks ago when Jupiter and Venus were out. As cities and people switch to CFLs and LEDs, are you hearing any reports of a decrease in light pollution?
