With apologies to Pete Seeger

It was one of those things that began late at night, in the wee hours, when things get just a little silly. Derek started it and it just took on a life of it's own. We created verses and verses that night and I culled the herd to the following four. I had planned to serenade you all at Fray Cafe, but lost my nerve, even though Judith had offered to sing along. I suck.

Ladies and Gentlemen, without any further ado, please try to imagine my off-key warbling - "Where have all the Dot Coms gone?" (A thousand pardons to Pete Seeger)

"Where have all the dot coms gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the dot coms gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the dot coms gone?
Out of business every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the startups gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the startups gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the startups gone?
Lost their funding every one.
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Where have all the VCs gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the VCs gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the VCs gone?
Gone to wireless every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where the hell has Ben Brown gone?
Long time passing.
Where the hell has Ben Brown gone?
Long time ago.
Where the hell has Ben Brown gone?
To New Zealand, she's the one.
When will he ever learn?
When will he ever learn?
"

Have an idea for a verse? Let me know.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, baby! Send a card.

"A squirrel and a squirrel and a squirrel and a squirrel and a squirrel and a squirrel were fighting..." The genius that is The Dakota Smith.

"No more prisons" cont'd. Michelle directs us to Sidewalk Politics, dated November 1999.

Yesterday? Adventures in thin walls.



What's the difference between Austin and San Francisco?

About sixty five cents.
