Thanks! I think Eazy and I are both going with the Ballz-Out fashion to make public statements.

Because it's not about what you do, it's about how you do(dew).

If I want to get good funding for my PhD/look good on the job market later, then yes. Hopefully by the end of this year I will have two, but you never know. It is very much publications and research that get you jobs here, not teaching. In fact, if you teach too much you can shoot yourself in the foot (with experience you gain a "value", and you can eventually become too expensive to employ, all without having achieved many publications!) But teaching does not get you tenure, publications do, and it is getting to the point where you need to have written a book, not just a bunch of articles.

But it is also different by country. In France, for instance, publications while at graduate level are discouraged, and the job market is ever worse (much more about who you know, even worse than abroad).

I actually think that is a good thing, as universities main function should be to produce knowledge as opposed to just transmitting existing knowledge. Please do share, if you get anything published, would be interesting to read

Feck yeah!

Just got an email from Jason Calacanis that he and the LAUNCH team selected my little start-up that could for promotion and showcasing at their LAUNCH Education & Kids conference next month.

They are requiring me to present at two rehearsals, including one in L.A. at the LAUNCH studios there where I'll also have dinner with the founders.

Damn, like Andy sez, I better not forget to brush my teeth.

Don't forget to thank me for letting you complete a couple of launches in my toilet when you were here

Transmitting is important, but I agree that the research aspect is a larger function at that level. And I will definitely share, I'll be so exciting I'll be beside myself

I always wanted Steve Jobs to rescue RiM, just so he could receive email addressed to [email protected].
