Just watched The Social Network – Man am I depressed
I’m not depressed because the movie sucked, quite the opposite, while not opposite, it was decent not award winning. I am depressed because I grew up during the internet age and had countless opportunities to create a powerful and cool web sites and faltered. Not faltered, or failed even, just never went for it. Granted I didn’t go to Harvard, or anywhere decent. Community college all the way.
I often wonder if I had gone to Harvard, Princeton, Yale or some other top school, how would I have turned out. I know its fruitless to look back and wonder what if, but shit man, I could have made the facebook site in two weeks, who couldn’t? I’ve remade 5 million dollar a year websites in a month before, from scratch! Sigh.
The real question is, ok, I didn’t invent some crazy cool website like Facebook, but can I now? Is it still possible to invent something that will rock like all the others have? Is the idea of dorm room companies even possible anymore? I don’t know. There’s a lot of others out there, yes from Harvard and every other college, that are a lot younger, can write a lot better code than I can and have a lot more time to do it.
But I am not deterred. Granted this blog has been mostly a failure. I get maybe 20 people a day. But I think I can come up with something great. I’m working on it now, wish me luck!
On the scifi front, we’ve a ton of new shows coming out. I haven’t even had a chance to watch them all. I want to review them as I watch them. Going to be a fun scifi summer!
