Many of you know that I am obsessed with television - in particular HBO (and now, ok, Showtime too). Some months back I came across a very interesting Twitter Account, @Tim_Gibbons. I couldn’t believe a big Hollywood producer was hanging out in a geeky place like Twitter. Well, yes he was and he still does. [...]

I Heart Startups (and so does The TechSet and Microsoft BizSpark).

Stephanie Agresta — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:58:31 +0000

I’ve been a “startup chick” for a very long time. Having worked at early stage companies as employee number 2 and number 240, I have experienced the wide array of challenges faced by companies growing new markets. In fact, established markets never interested me much (boring!!!) I’ve guided my professional development for 15 years by one [...]

The 9/11 Generation

Stephanie Agresta — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:30:13 +0000

I like to write on planes. Cranking the iTunes on my MacBook. I am on a plane today. 7 years ago, all the airports were shut down. In fact, my whole city was pretty much shut down, except for the bars and restaurants. I remember very little except drowning our deep, unfathomable sorrow together in [...]
