one thing that

bothers me about google personal is that, sometimes, the gmail window will say "temporarily unavailable". all i have to do is just go straight to gmail to see my inbox, however; still, this is annoying, and should be (and most likely will be) addressed by google before personal goes off of beta.

seth levine recently posted his thoughts on how to become a venture capitalist; not a very long read, but chock-full of good advice. the more i see things like this, and the more people i run into in business school who dream of going into venture capital, the more i realize that i was just plain lucky to get not one, but two jobs in the venture industry. the thing is, like most desirable jobs, a lot of people want to be venture capitalists, but lack the requisite skills and experience. for those who are serious about pursuing vc, i would pay special attention to seth's first point of advice: Assume you will not be able to land a job as a venture capitalist.
