		<description><![CDATA[When I first read TechCrunch&#8217;s article on Diaspora co-founder Ilya Zhitomirskiy&#8217;s death, I didn&#8217;t think much of it except that it didn&#8217;t mention anything about the cause of the death. It usually means only thing, and my suspicion was confirmed by hacker news thread.

Interestingly, he was referring to a New York Times article on Korean education system. Having grown up in Korea till 16, I had experienced it myself and am in complete agreement with him. I was an odd kid [...]]]></description>

I left home a little after 9AM, and the Vice President, Joe Biden were just taking an oath. A few minutes later, Barack did and started his speech. He was still making a speech when I arrived at work, and I stayed in the car [...]]]></description>

That phrase, Never Give Up, is so simple and commonly used that it is beginning to lose its meaning after several times hearing it. A few weeks ago, I saw a glimpse of Randy Pausch’s last lecture on PBS. The title of slide was “Never Give Up”. I have heard about his last lecture at [...]]]></description>

NOW is the best time to start a company.

I had this belief before, but it was confirmed in the book. Most of successful startups are childrent of acccidental success. Most founders didn&#8217;t set out to build these big empires. Most of them were quite surprised at their own success. How [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently picked up a book called Founders at Work. I thought I&#8217;ve heard about it when I was trying out my start-up in 2006, but it has copyright date of 2007. It is a collection of interviews of founders at various (successful) start-ups.
