dwight is freaking awesome (in person).

Truthfully I think there is so much cool drama they could've shown: - co founder fights (bring it on!) - running out of money stress - idea not working out drama - users getting pissed off angst - a large competitor (ehem google, facebook, apple) doing your idea 5 days before your release - TechCrunch writing something shitty about you - firing your first employee - CEO getting booted - Stress of meeting your numbers

Too bad they didn't capture capture the real drama of start-up life. I can't imagine that it wouldnt make for a good show.


it was painful to watch.

i had to press pause on the dvr several times (and check twitter) just to get through a few of the episodes.

what hit me hardest was: if you are going to devote a large percentage of your air time to party scenes (each episode was 25% - 75% party scenes) there has got to be better people to follow to parties than techies.

of all the people on the program I thought Kim came off the best (she seems pretty legit), Dwight wasn't a total tool either.


That's just great news.


I am not surprised
