A couple months ago (right after I made a big move) I started hearing thing about the financial crisis and banks going under. Talking with my friend who travels a lot, I came to hear that when America sneezes, the rest of the world gets a cold. Another friend of mine introduced me to a film called "Zeitgeist". With the uncertainty of living in a new area, trying to gain respect at a new job, and making new friends, I started worrying. Actually worrying is an understatement, but I'll not be dramatic.

However, after hearing about Lullabot's new venture, and especially Ed Sussman's blog post, "Why Start (Up) Now?" I gained a little hope. Then I got a twitter from Kevin Rose today where he talked about Paul Graham's post, "Why to Start a Startup in a Bad Economy". I must say that I'm feeling better. Again an understatement, but dramatics really aren't my thing.
