I am spending the weekend getting booted at a McCarthys bootcamp sponsored by my colleague, Professor David Socha at UW Bothell.  It is an exciting way to learn new things about myself and to meet a wonderful collection of students, faculty and community members.  However, the greatest joy is running into professionals who are using the session to kickstart their idea stage startup.  What fun it is to listen to the insights and ideas for unmet needs and their solutions.  I look forward to engaging with the two different groups to see their ideas turn into reality.

And just in time, Hugh MacLeod offers up his unique insight into doing a startup.
