Please steal this model. And even if you don't go the 'dead tree inventory route' consider selfpublishing via Lulu.com or the like once you've got a blog/website with a solid userbase (OnStartups, I'm looking at you).
Also, I want to donate all profits from the book to an organization that promotes entrepreneurship. Looking into who the lucky organization will be.
And, I'm looking right back at you Alexis. I'm going to need help promoting the book and you're an internet rockstar.
I've always wondered about an entrepreneurship-focused org, but haven't found one that blew me away yet. Loved your RtR fundraising, btw :) My process of selection involves a lot of stalking and research, followed by pestering until I can find someone there who really gets breadpig. I'd be happy to help be a set of eyes for you as you look.
edit: Oh, and I'll gladly help promote!
Do hacker news posts count?
I just determined via searchyc.com that I've posted over 3300 comments here. I imagine there must be some value for someone in there. I'd love to share "the best of edw519" via hardcopy (with pg's permission, of course).
I wouldn't be interested in making money with this. Just sharing my favorite thoughts about programming / business with people who don't normally come here (clients, prospects, colleagues, friends, family, etc.) Any thoughts?
