Between 1999–2005 the costs went down by 90% and between 2005–2010 they went down a further 90%. I launched my first startup in 1999 so I know the economics of launching from first-hand experience.

Some have been spectacular failures. Despite this, I have been drawn by the siren call of the startup once again. I am now neck-deep in Startup No. 9, FilterSnap.

Stephenson wrote it in 1999. Well, except the Baroque Cycle trilogy, which I’m saving for a special period of time to get lost in them, and from everything. Last week I read In the Beginning…Was the Command Line. For the second time. This time I read it on my Kindle, which was fitting.
