Details for the next Spark Open Office Hours on Dec 11
I am going to join Rob for my very first “Open Office Hours”. I am really looking forward to it!
Details below…
I will be holding my next “Open Office Hours” on December 11, 2009 from 10AM – Noon. My colleague Santo Politi will be joining me as well.
The purpose of these meetings is to provide the Boston entrepreneur community greater access to investors for their perspective, feedback, and help. We will schedule six 20-minute time slots, so please respond quickly if you are interested. The format is informal, but time is short, so please be very clear about how you want to utilize this time.
Please see below for details and how to reserve a spot.
Location: Cosi in Kendall Square (290 Main Street, near the Kendall T Stop)
Date & Time: December 11, 2009. 10:00AM – Noon
How to reserve time: Send an email to julie@sparkcapital.com with your name and preferred time. Also include a brief (< 3 sentence) summary of a) what you are working on and b) what you hope to get out of the meeting.

I was on Fox Business News last night
I was on Fox Business News yesterday as part of a segment they call “Feautre of Venture Capitalism”. Here is a link to the video:

It was a fun experience with the make up and cameras. I can get used to this. Thank you Dennis!
Annoying Pop Up from spa.tofucube.com
I have been getting an annoying pop up on techcrunch from a site spa.tofucube.com that is asking for a username and password. It definitely does not look right but it is not a virus either.
It sounds like it is a wordpress / snap issue. This is what I found on the wordpress forums:

Disabling snap shots make it go away.
The Red Monster is a beautiful thing, with water cooling and all!
