Starting up a startup

Lately, i have been gathering thoughts and information on how to start a company. Luckily thanks to slashdot for the very informative news dedicated for geeks. Paul Graham, lisp hacker and creator of the company that became Yahoo! has a very inspiring article that will help people like me. Articles like what to do while in college, what high school students should do and a summer startup program, which invites people with good ideas to try out for some startup capital. Too bad this kind of opportunity is for US residents only. Maybe someday if Ill be successful I will create one like this.

I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

John Gokongwei Speech before Ateneo 2004 Graduates

I wish I were one of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with too many problems. And you are probably right. You are thinking that our country is slipping-no, sliding. Again, you may be right. Twenty years ago, we were at par with countries like Thailand,Malaysia, and Singapore. Today, we are left way behind. You know the facts. Twenty years ago, the per capita income of the Filipino was 1,000 US dollars. Today, it's 1,100 dollars. That's a growth of only ten percent in twenty years.
