dhh In other stock news, Apple is trading at a forward P/E of just 10. Them markets sure are efficient!

dhh But hey, at least the market didn't let the first-day gamblers enjoy any pop. I'd hate to be the next tech IPO following that.

dhh So Facebook stock is down ~12% right now, but that's not much of a correction when they're still worth $92B and P/E is still 78.

dhh You only get one chance to be a beginner: http://t.co/b3zMr6Sv

dhh You only get one change to be a beginner: http://t.co/b3zMr6Sv

dhh At a 93 P/E and a $110B valuation I'm really thinking of getting in on thise Facebook thing. Anyone want to go Dutch on 0.9% for a billion?

dhh The arms race is in full effect: when everyone else is hiring, you feel like you must stock up too.

dhh An army of builders will build what it takes an army of builders to build. Ambition expands to fill the length of the ranks.

dhh It's easy to waste time overbuilding needless features when you have an army of builders at your disposal.

dhh Easiest way to win the war for talent is to stop fighting and do more with what you have. Most people waste most of their time.

dhh $GRPN's chart looks like a penny stock. Down 10%! No, up 15%! No, down 5%! No up!

dhh So Facebook's valuation is insane, but I love Zuckerberg's hoodie fuck you to Wall Street analysts: http://t.co/Fayq3JiB

dhh We've rounded 10K lines of Ruby code for the new Basecamp. Still running a 1:1 code-to-test ratio: http://t.co/pz3vnbXB

dhh Having an idea before starting a new company is your 20% downpayment. Not sufficient to guarantee success by any means, but prudent still.

dhh Working on airline booking systems must be a special kind of hell. The user experience department for European carriers on the lower level.

dhh The bubble machine requires ever more bath water to keep growing. I think the baby has long since been thrown out.

dhh Mortgage crisis metaphor, incubators backing "no idea" founders is like CDO'ing ever shakier mortgages for throughput when quality ran dry.

dhh My favorite singer-songwriter @tinadico has a great new acoustic recording out from her coming album "The Other Side": http://t.co/RXGeqfyx

dhh Haven't yet seen the brilliant Truth In 24? I highly recommend it -- it's free from iTunes: http://t.co/HSqmCWkZ -- part II coming soon!

dhh Funny how fast expectations change. First you're just happy to be part of it, then you happy to be above average, then you want to win it.

dhh Allowing 5-6% of a property transaction to be lost to the realtors is obscene. Self-representation as a buyer can cut it in half, though.

dhh Movies are great, but current seasons of Mad Men and Game of Thrones have convinced me that if I could have only one, it'd be TV shows.
