Comments on: Digg that! http://topstartup.com/2007/09/27/digg-that/ Colin Nederkoorn's struggle from leaving his job to startup success Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:53:23 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Robert MacEwan http://topstartup.com/2007/09/27/digg-that/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Robert MacEwan Sat, 29 Sep 2007 16:05:26 +0000 http://topstartup.com/2007/09/27/digg-that/#comment-57 Life sometimes affords us these opportunities to glimpse into the "real" of a person. When it happens to me, it greatly affects my life. My wife talks about being a little kid and meeting Richard Nixon, I worked in a restaurant and served Andre Agassi... my father-in-law knew Bill Clinton... it's odd how these events sear our brains with permanent impressions. For guys like you and me, the chance to meet geeks who've made it-- not a 1990s dot com millionaire per se, I speak of the web entrepreneurs who have the same goals we do, the people we can learn from -- maybe sometimes we forget how we are all, underneath it all, a bunch of nerds, geeks with a common cause and a lot in common. I hope to someday meet up with the people I deal with on a daily basis online. Like John Cow who is a really nice guy, or John Biggs who's helped out with the Dead Mule, or even you perhaps? The world is made smaller when we know each other. Life sometimes affords us these opportunities to glimpse into the “real” of a person. When it happens to me, it greatly affects my life.
